This Series III is equipped with a 4-speed manual transmission paired with a 5.3-liter V12 engine and four Zenith-Stromberg carburetors. Additional features include Smiths instrumentation, quad exhaust tips, front disc brakes, a black convertible soft top, 3-spoke steering wheel, uncovered headlights, and a forward-hinged louvered bonnet. It rides on Michelin tires with 15-inch wire wheels and includes a full-size spare tire in the trunk. Chrome accents throughout, including the grille and bumpers, complement the overall design. Interior amenities consist of bucket seats, air conditioning, rocker switches, an analog clock, driver-side rearview mirror, armrest center console, glove box, and an Alpine radio.

This example has remained with the same owner since 1974, essentially its entire life, which is a strong indicator of consistent care and responsible ownership. Long-term ownership of this nature often reflects a vehicle that has been maintained with familiarity and attention over the years, rather than passing through multiple hands. Accompanied by an extensive file of service receipt copies dating from November 1981 through October 2019. These records document decades of ongoing maintenance, servicing, and upkeep, providing valuable insight into the car's history.

The Series III E-Type introduced Jaguar's V12 engine to the model lineup, delivering smoother power and making it one of the most refined variants of the E-Type. This well-kept Jaguar represents a classic example of British design and engineering, offering a balance of style and performance. A solid opportunity for any enthusiast seeking a V12-powered E-Type that is mechanically sound. For $56,500
