Auction description:

The Sale of British Marques 2019

1973 Jaguar E-Type Roadster Series 3 Manual

Lot No.: 422

Registration: FWK 300L

Chassis Number: 1S1697

Engine Number: 7S9712SA

Number of cylinders: 6

CC: 5343

RHD/LHD: Right Hand Drive

Estimate (£): 80,000 - 100,000

UK-supplied, right-hand drive V12 from long-term (22-years) ownership

Superbly presented in British Racing Green with magnolia textured leather piped in BRG

Original Engine (7S). Upgraded brakes and clutch. Chrome wires. Mohair soft top

Four-year restoration commenced in 2000 by the well-respected specialists, CMC in Bridgnorth

Lightly used since with periods on SORN. Took part in the London to Brighton Classic in 2016

Some older MOTs. Jaguar Heritage Certificate. Freshly MOT'd just prior to the sale

We are pleased to offer this original right-hand drive, UK-supplied 1973 E-type Series 3 Open two-seater. According to its Jaguar Heritage Certificate, it was built on 12th January 1973, finished in British Racing Green with Cinnamon Trim, and despatched to Birch White Garage on 19th of March to be subsequently registered as FRW 300L. This registration was issued in Coventry which may be explained by the information on the Heritage Certificate which states that it was originally a "Jaguar Cars Ltd. press car".

Purchased by our vendor and his wife in 1997, the E-Type was committed to a full restoration in 2000 and the long-established and hugely-respected firm of Classic Motor Cars (CMC) in Bridgnorth were entrusted with the car's rejuvenation. The process was to take around four years and the quality of the restoration can be judged by the way the car presents today, some fourteen years later. The clutch and brakes were upgraded at the same time and there are invoices and copy invoices for all this work in the car's history file. Although the car retains its original engine, the gearbox has been changed at some point in the past, possibly by the factory when it was part of the press fleet.

Also in the Owner's File are MOTs from 1997 until 2005 when it was put on SORN where it remained until 2011 when it was returned to the road and MOT'd. It was subsequently used lightly and took part in the 2016 London to Brighton Classic Car Rally before being SORN'd once again. It will be MOT tested just prior to the auction.

In some colours, the Series 3 can appear rather 'substantial' however darker colours slim the car considerably and, in this rare combination of BRG with a Cream interior, chrome wires and a matching green mohair hood, this is a remarkably pretty car.

Sold by Fayreoak Classics of Cheltenham in March 2023. Seller's description below.

Probably the best V12 roadster on the market today. Built in 1973, and used as a Jaguar press car. Sold on in March 1973 to its first owner. As on the Jaguar Heritage Certificate it was supplied in British Racing Green with Cinnamon trim. It underwent restoration in 2020. Included are a lot of invoices, including recent works to brakes, rear suspension and servicing. Has great oil pressure and drives very well. The car needs for nothing and is in amazing condition.
