 Description

Up for sale is a 1973 E-Type 2+2 V12 Series 3. This car has great history and documentation, and has only 625 actual miles since new. The original owner of this car was James Patin of Anaheim, California. He was an avid collector, owning over 150 cars in his lifetime. The purchase of this Jaguar came about through a horse-trade with Bill Harrah of Las Vegas casino fame, who wanted a 1922 Leach Touring for his collection, which Mr Patin happened to own. Mr Patin agreed to the sale in exchange for cash and the purchase of a brand new 1973 Jaguar V12 XKE, which Mr Harrah arranged through Brentwood Motors in Santa Monica in December of 1973. This car had 99 miles on the odometer at time of delivery. Mr Patin picked up the car, showed it to some friends, and then parked it in his collection with 162 miles on the clock. It resided there until 2002, when Glenn Bowers purchased the car from Mr Patin. Since the Jag had not been started since 1973, Mr Bowers removed the fuel tank and had it boiled out and coated inside, along with removing all four carbs and cleaning the float bowls, needles, and seats. Once re-installed, the car fired easily and idled smoothly. The car was 100% as it had been left in 1973, exactly 30 years prior. Mr Bowers only put five miles on the car, since it had the original tires on it. He then sold the car to the current owner in May of 2007. A Jaguar specialty shop performed some necessary work on the vehicle before it was shipped to Pennsylvania, where it was housed in a climate-controlled garage and driven sparingly. He then had the car shipped to his California home in 2012 with only 213 miles on the clock. The Jag then had an extensive service by Hornburg Jaguar, including a complete ignition system overhaul, carbs rebuilt, a new clutch, and new ball joints. The total bill was just over $18,000. The owner wanted to actually drive and enjoy the car in California, and once the work was completed it was ready to enjoy. The car currently has 625 miles on the odometer, and as far as we can tell, is in 100% original, unrestored, unmolested condition, with the addition of wire wheels in place of the original Turbo Disc wheels.
