1973 Jaguar E-Type Series 3 V12 Roadster

30/09/2024

55,805 miles (indicated)

RHD

manual

Lisarow, NSW, Australia

Engine Size 5.3L V12

Exterior British Racing Green

Interior Tan

This Jaguar E-Type is a classic 1970s roadster which has been carefully restored and sensitively upgraded. 

It is powered by a naturally aspirated 5.3-litre V12, delivering a dyno-proven 201.5bhp through a newly replaced five-speed ‘ZF’ manual transmission. 

This E-Type was originally delivered to the USA and went on to form part of a Dutch classic car collection. 

It was then exported briefly to the UK before being purchased by the seller and exported to Australia, where it was restored, converted to RHD, and is now offered for sale. 

The five-digit odometer displays 55,805 miles, which is reported to be the correct total from new, though this cannot be warranted.

Equipment and features

Originally finished in Greensand, this example was subsequently resprayed in British Racing Green now with a matching new green soft top over a new tan leather-trimmed cabin, punctuated by wooden inlays. 

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

Equipment includes a row of rocker switches for the car’s auxiliary functions, Smiths gauges, a locking glovebox, and a vintage-style radio. 

Accompanying the sale is the owner’s handbook, a detailed workshop repair manual, UK export paperwork, import approval documents, a Jaguar Heritage Trust Production Record Trace Certificate, a NSW Transport engineering compliance certificate, various restoration invoices, a dynamometer print out, a current NSW Historic Certificate of Conditional Registration, a service invoice, the original 15-inch steering wheel, and a bespoke fitted indoor stretch car cover.
