The Jaguar E-type is the stuff of real legend. Perhaps the definitive car to carry the Big Cat branding, these long-nosed, smooth-sailing roadsters were hailed as one of the world's most beautiful cars, and have built a remarkable following. Even the layman can recognise an E-Type!
The Series 3 E-Type marked the end of the much-loved era - but the introduction of the silky 5.3-litre V12 engine ensured it went out on a high. Today, the Series 3 is a highly coveted machine in its own right, and matching-numbers examples are particularly sought after by collectors and enthusiasts alike.
This 1971 left-hand drive example is a Californian import finished in Light Primrose over a black leather interior. It has benefited from a thorough mechanical rebuild, and the vendor reports that it starts and drives as it should. Whether you plan to undergo a full cosmetic restoration or to maintain its evocative patina, this car is sure to prove a rewarding classic. image.png1.56 MB
