1973 Jaguar E-Type 2+2 FHC

5.3 V12 Series III

Lot Number:

Estimate: £45,000 - 50,000

V5 Present

MoT Jan 2023

Chassis number: 1S51996

This V12‑engined Series III E‑type was registered in September 1973 and was kept by its previous recorded keeper for 22 years. 64,292 miles are showing on the odometer, with the MoT and service paperwork confirming this total as genuine. There is a current MoT through to January 2023 and just three former registered keepers are recorded on the V5C.

The history folder includes the V5C, garage wall lubrication chart, MoTs dating back to 1980, tax discs, owner's handbook, Jaguar sales and service facilities guide dated January 1973 and the original Passport to Service booklet (albeit only stamped up to 11,949 miles in May 1974). However, the large stack of invoices and bills stretch back almost to when the car was new, and show some restoration over the years such as in 2001 when almost £9500 of work was carried out. A spare set of keys is also included.

Classified ad asking £44,995, seller PETERBOROUGH CLASSIC CARS LTD

Seller's description:

This wonderful low mileage example is finished in White on black leather with black carpets. 

5.3L V12 fed by 4 stromberg carbs and through a 4 speed manual gearbox. Only 4 registered owners from new (first owner for 22 years)

Great history file confirms the low mileage, early stamped service history booklet. There is also some receipts for restoration work carried through the years including almost £10K worth of work in 2001. 

This car is wonderful to drive, everything still feels tight. The torque from the engine is effortless and that V12 howl is wonderful.

Chrome wire wheels with great tyres all round. 

Both body (up top and underneath) and the interior are all in great condition. This car needs for nothing and is ready for whatever 'Grand Tour' you fancy.
