1973 Jaguar E-type Series III V12 Roadster

Please Read All

MotorCarTrader.com is excited to offer another great classic Jaguar. This truly special 1973  Jaguar E-type Roadster was owned by the same meticulous owner for about 25 years and as we understand about 15 of those years this car spent in a museum. This great Jaguar started its life manufactured on February 21 of 1973. The Silver with black interior color combination is original to this car with all matching numbers (Heritage Certificate included). The date of dispatch was March 26 of 1973.  This Jaguar E-type was originally sold new by Tink’s Auto Mart to Southwest Underwriter Insurance Compnay Inc. of Fayetteville, Arkansas on July 24 of 1973.  We do have the original metal ownership stamp with this car with original owners name and address, as well as the original owner’s trifold book, owner’s operating and service handbook, original automobile logbook and shop manual. This is certainly one of the cleanest original Series III cars available and that we have ever seen.  

In addition, to being a great original car, this car is mechanically sound and one of the best driving E-type Series III cars available. The previous owner spent over $20,000 once the car came out of the museum ( it was sitting for a while) to make this car an excellent driver. He did drive and enjoy the car, which makes these cars very happy. The oil pressure at hot idle (once warm) is excellent at 40 pounds. The compression is also excellent of 130 to 135 across ALL 12 cylinders. It is easy to drive and shifts with no noises in any of the gears with a good feel on the clutch. Furthermore, the car steers with ease and has plenty of power. The ride is very nice and it handles extremely tight. All switches work and gauges are functioning properly as well. This car was repainted at one time (in the original color) and the paint looks beautiful. The car was driven carefully. The paint is not brand new, but still excellent on this car. This Jaguar does not show any signs of accidents or of ever being disassembled which is great for any Jaguar e-type to maintain the original feel of driving and structure.  The interior on this etype is original and one of the nicest keep original interiors we have seen on a Jaguar E-type.

More info on this Jaguar:

  • Only 58,594 original miles.
  • The cloth top and top boot cover looks like it was replaced at some point.
  • Included is the original jack and hammer with the car.
  • All chrome is excellent including the chrome wire wheels and spare wire wheel.
  • There is rust on this car anywhere. The spare tire compartment is in clean original condition with no rust and original padding and insulation.
  • A brand new stainless steel complete exhaust system has been installed.
  • The underside and floors are in excellent original condition with no rust.
  • The AC compressor is newer and the AC blows very cold.  

    Overall: This is a very nice Jaguar E-type Series III Roadster. It is wonderful driver and can be driven anywhere. Lastly, it is one of the more attractive Jaguar E-type Roadsters to be found. Jaguar E-type V12 cars are very hard to find in this original type condition, which have not been abused or “restored” or abused. This is a great and special investment car with excellent history which matches its gorgeous overall condition.

    Freelander name making jump from old Land Rover model to new EV brand

    Fri, Jun 21 2024

    The Jaguar Land Rover House of Brands is about to grow by one. JLR signed a Letter of Intent to license a new brand called Freelander to its Chinese joint-venture partner of 12 years, Chery. For those who missed it, Land Rover sold a compact four-wheel-drive model called the Freelander or LR2, depending on market and generation, from 1997 to 2015. The Freelander didn't get the best press, but that didn't stop it from being popular because, before the Evoque, it was the least expensive way to get into something bearing the green oval. The moniker's rebirth will also apply to "mainstream" products, this time pure-electric vehicles outside of JLR's or Chery's current lineups. What's more, the Freelander range won't be limited to China, although JLR wouldn't say how long it would be before international markets could expect Freelander arrival.  They new cars will be designed by teams from both automakers and sit on Chery's E0X battery-electric architecture. Car News China reports that the E0X can support an 800-volt architecture, Level 3 autonomous driving, and air suspension setups. The platform also plays nice with range-extended EVs, a powertrain type enjoying the same upswing in popularity over there as in other markets. Autocar writes that extended-range EV sales from January 2023 to September 2023 rose 157% over the same span in 2022. Chery's Luxeed R7, above, sits on E0X bones. The Luxeed R7 EV comes in single- and dual-motor variants from 288 horsepower to 489 hp, and offers a maximum range of 531 miles on the Chinese cycle. Previous to this new announcement, Chery said it would also share its M3X platform with the Chery Jaguar Land Rover collaboration, the vehicle structure said to have been developed with Magna International. The M3X is suited to internal combustion and PHEV powertrains. JLR's press release specifies that for now, Freelander will be "an advanced portfolio of electric vehicles," so it's possible future Freelanders will expand powertrain options once the electric lineup gains momentum, or the M3X might be applied to a different set of products.

    Jaguar Land Rover may buy Silverstone racetrack for new HQ

    Thu, Dec 3 2015

    Jaguar Land Rover might add another chapter to its venerable motorsports legacy by purchasing the revered UK racetrack Silverstone to use as its new company headquarters. JLR could reportedly offer 22.7 million pounds ($34.1 million at current rates) to buy the circuit, according to Automotive News Europe, which cites several British media sources. The British automaker would then invest the equivalent of $78 million to turn the historic track into a celebration of the brand, including a museum, experience center, and hotel. The company would also construct space for its marketing team and engineers, Automotive News Europe reports. Motorsports would still continue there, too, which means the course's Formula One legacy is safe. Neither JLR nor the British Racing Drivers' Club, which leases the track, have confirmed the rumors. The BRDC only suggested that it received several confidential offers to purchase the circuit. Silverstone has a motorsports history that goes back to the late 1940s and is often the home to the Formula One British Grand Prix. The track's organizers have a long-term deal to continue hosting the F1 race, too. Today, the course also features major events from MotoGP and the FIA World Endurance Championship. In November, Jaguar released a video that celebrated some of its legacy at Silverstone by bringing the modern XJR and Le Mans-winning XJ-R9 LM at the track. If the company's purchase happens, you can expect to see a lot more Jags and probably some Land Rovers lapping the course. Related Video:
