We are very pleased to offer you today on of the best Jaguar 'E' type V12 roadsters we have been priviledged to see for quite some time.
It dates from 1974 and the bodywork is painted in Primrose Yellow, a superb colour for the car, and it has the Black interior trim and upholstery. It naturally has the 5343cc twelve cylinder engine and that is coupled to the much preferred manual four speed gearbox. The odometer reads 31000 miles from new, which is genuinely believed to be correct, and it is the property of a major collection and is currently tested until May this year.
This original right hand drive car is superb in every respect and will be keenly fought over at the sale.

This is one of our favourite cars finished in our favourite colour. It is a 1974 Jaguar E-Type Series III V12 Drophead Coupe. It is finished in Primrose Yellow with Black Leather interior. The specification is perfect as our car has the desirable manual gearbox and also the chrome wire wheels. These cars are effortless grand tourers and our car has just completed a faultless tour to the South of France. The mileage of 88,000 is believed to be the genuine total from new and the car has been consistently used in recent years chalking up over 30,000 in the last three years with the Classic Car Club with a comprehensive service policy to match.

Interior:
The interior of our car is finished in Black Leather and is in a condition commensurate with the mileage. There is a little wear to the side of the drivers seat but on the whole the interior is a great place to sit. All the dials and instruments work as they should and there is nothing that needs addressing.

Exterior:
Our car here is finished in Primrose Yellow and is in a superb condition. The paint, whilst being a few years old, is absolutely wonderful with a deep shine and no major imperfections. The soft top is new and fitted perfectly by a specialist. The wire wheels are very good being new in 2004. There is a small area of scabby paint inside the drivers door opening but apart from that it is a very presentable car and presents extremely well.

Mechanical:
The car starts and drives exactly as it should. The engine runs like a dream and the whole car drives wonderfully. The gearbox changes smoothly and there are no undue knocks or rattles from the suspension. Due to the diligent nature of the previous owner the service history is second to none and the car has had absolutely anything it has needed. The gearbox and clutch were also rebuilt in 2001. Regular use combined with regular servicing is a perfect combination to ensure a reliable and easy to own classic car.

Summary:
This is probably one of the easiest to own classics having been diligently maintained by its previous owners. The mileage appears genuine and there is a superb history with the car. The specification and colour scheme is perfect and the car is ready to jump in and drive away. The Tax and MOT are current and the price is very keen for a car in this lovely condition. Please be quick to enjoy this wonderful car this summer!
