The Appeal
The Series 3 E-Type represents the final evolution of Jaguar's iconic sports car, combining the timeless roadster silhouette with the effortless power of a 5.3-litre V12 engine. Introduced in 1971 and produced until 1974, the Series 3 Roadster is particularly sought after, offering open-air motoring with uprated brakes, standard power steering, and that unforgettable V12 soundtrack. This 1973 example is presented in the desirable original Primrose Yellow colour, which suits the Series 3's more muscular proportions very well.
This car boasts an interesting transatlantic history, having been originally supplied new in Arizona before making its way to Denmark in the early 2000s. The previous owner invested significantly in the car with extensive improvements, including a new rear suspension assembly, springs, shock absorbers, anti-roll bars, interior, wire wheels and additional components. Most impressively, the engine was comprehensively rebuilt in 2017 with full photographic documentation at a cost of approximately €8,500. The current owner has cherished the car since 2013, though limited use in recent years has reportedly been due to time constraints rather than any mechanical concerns.
Presented in very good condition both cosmetically and mechanically, this Series 3 Roadster offers the opportunity to acquire a well-sorted example of Jaguar's V12-powered icon. The engine is reported to start and run very well, providing a great feeling when cruising with that enjoyable V12 sound. For enthusiasts of the E-Type, particularly those seeking the refinement and power of the Series 3 specification, this represents an appealing opportunity.IMG_8478 (Copy) Stig Windfeld.JPG275.89 KB
