Description
Jaguar E-Type Series 3 V12 The Jaguar E-Type Series III was introduced in 1971 and was the successor model to the Jaguar E-Type Series II, which was built from 1968 to 1971. The most important innovation was the 5. 3-litre V12 twelve-cylinder engine, which replaced the 4. 2-litre six-cylinder engine of its predecessor. The new V12 engine produced 276 hp - 203 kW - at 5850 rpm and a maximum torque of 412 Nm at 3600 rpm.
The Jaguar E-Type Series III was available with a number of extras for an extra charge, including air conditioning, automatic transmission and wire wheels. The brake discs of the front wheels were now ventilated from the inside. Only 7, 990 units of the Roadster came off the production line. Production of the Jaguar E-Type Series III was discontinued in 1974, and while contemporary V12s from Lamborghini or Ferrari are hardly affordable today, the E-Type Series 3 is probably the cheapest way to drive a V12. A well-adjusted carburettor car runs far more economically than the successors with electronic injection and the technology is far less complex, which makes maintenance and operation affordable. This E-Type is a US model that came to Austria in the 90s. The body is in original, unwelded condition. In addition, the car was delivered with air conditioning and wire wheels - and what is more appreciated today - with a manual gearbox. The engine was overhauled in the past by a company in England and presents itself in very good condition. The vehicle underwent a complete overhaul of the chassis with all bushes and wheel bearings. The Koni shock absorbers are still in excellent condition. The brake fluid has been renewed and the vehicle has been technically checked and comes with a licence sticker (§57a). As the V12 is historically type-approved, it is valid until 12/ 2026. This gem is being sold due to its age. Anyone looking for drama or who wants to continue to watch the value of the stock market portfolio shrink should definitely wait or buy a restoration object. On the other hand, if you want garage gold at an extremely attractive price for the condition and a vehicle that you can enjoy immediately, you should make an appointment to view it quickly. The sale is from private to private.
