Auction description:

Sat 11 & Sun 12 April

1973 JAGUAR E-TYPE SERIES 3 V12 2+2 AUTO

Estimate:  £50,000 - £60,000

V5 present

MoT exempt

Chassis number: 1S51895BW

Engine size: 5343cc

This Series 3 Jaguar E-type 2+2 is an original UK car, first registered on 3rd August 1973. The Heritage Certificate shows it was finished in Lavender Blue with a Biscuit interior and was supplied through Mead of Burnham to Stratstone, Thames Ditton. 

The first owner is recorded as Dowding & Doll Ltd of Eastleigh Hampshire. The history file contains DVLA records of previous owners and lists our vendor since 2022 although he purchased the vehicle some years prior. Looking through the extensive invoices on file, that total over £60,000, it appears that the majority of restoration work occurred between 2014 and 2017. Since the restoration was completed, the Jaguar has formed part of a collection and been unused. As such, whilst we have had the Jaguar running, some degree of recommissioning will be required.

The car comes with the aforementioned extensive invoices, DVLA ownership records and a V5. The odometer is showing 53,645 miles.
