It is therefore the 422nd vehicle before the end of production in 1973 in the last configuration stage: U=US / D=1973 / BW=Borg Warner Automatic Herewith I offer you the rare opportunity to acquire a NON-RESTORED Jaguar E-Type SIII V12 Coupé 2+2, with few miles, in a classic colour combination silver / black. It will be very difficult to find a later and "original" one.

The powerful 12-cylinder engine (278 hp), in combination with the BW automatic transmission, offers a unique, incomparable driving experience - even after 52 years!

The vehicle has been serviced exclusively by specialist garages for British automobiles, and the invoices for the work carried out have been available without gaps since 2009.
