The Appeal

The Jaguar E-Type Series III represented the final evolution of what Enzo Ferrari famously called "the most beautiful car ever made." Introduced in 1971, the Series III brought V12 power to the E-Type range, transforming it into a smooth and powerful grand tourer while retaining the iconic styling that made it a design icon. This 1973 convertible example combines the desirable open-top experience with the sophisticated V12 powerplant, creating a compelling blend of performance and style.

This particular E-Type presents well with matching numbers and the convenience of an automatic transmission - a relatively uncommon option that enhances its usability as a classic cruiser. The recent re-upholstery work ensures the interior matches the car's prestigious heritage. All that's left is to register the car locally.
