Jaguar E-Type 5.3 Series 3 V12 restored 30 years in one hand history (1973)

Vehicle description

Model history:

In 1971, a dream of a special kind became reality for the fan community of the E-Type: With the so-called "Series 3", a V12 engine with 5.3 liters of displacement finally worked under the long hood of the athlete! The conversion from six to twelve cylinders was actually more than overdue: Jaguar could not lose touch with the competition under any circumstances, and they had long relied on enormous performance increases. Furthermore, Jaguar decided that the E-Type is now based on the long wheelbase. Most of the Series 3 built from 1971 to 1974 was sold to export markets, only a relatively small part remained on British roads.

According to the seller, this E-Type has a total of 5 vehicle owners, most recently the Jaguar comes from a collection. It is also worth mentioning that the TÜV is still done before the handover to the new owner.
