36,112 Miles (Indicated)

5.3L V12

VIN1S51935

This Jaguar E-Type is an iconic classic British sports car, which has been treated to various restorative works in recent years. 

It is powered by a naturally aspirated 5.3-litre V12, delivering 272bhp to the rear wheels via a four-speed manual transmission. 

This E-Type was reportedly in single family ownership until 2015, and is understood to have covered just 36,112 miles from new, though this is not warranted.

EQUIPMENT AND FEATURES 

The car is finished in Azure Blue over a black leather-trimmed cabin. 

It rides on a set of 15-inch wire wheels, secured with twin-eared knock-offs and fitted with Dunlop tyres.

Equipment includes Smiths dials, a row of rocker switches, and a Motorola radio. 

Accompanying the sale is an owner’s handbook, a service invoice for recent works, and the V5C registration certificate.  

CONDITION 

Specific notes from the seller include: areas of minor damage and scratches on the paintwork, bubbling on and around the arches, and bubbling and corrosion on the chromework. 

The front clam has been resprayed and accompanying metalwork has been attended to, the front seats have been recushioned, and the original trim has been refitted. 

Due to its age, the vehicle is exempt from mandatory MOT testing.

The vendor has provided the model of the vehicle to be a Jaguar E Type, please confirm upon your own inspection.

The vendor has provided the following:

Series III E-Type Jaguar

While the mileage is believed to be genuine at just over 36,000 miles, the owner can only verify that the car has been driven less than 4,000 miles since 2013

The car had a full service and first-time passed an MOT (even though MOT is not necessary) in May 2025 and has barely been driven since then

While not pristine or concours condition, this is a very useable and desirable car, who the owner hopes will find a new home with someone who will cherish driving it, or including as part of a collection.
