Auction description:
Salon Privé
23 June 2011
Lot 156
1974 Jaguar E-Type Series III Convertible
To be auctioned on Thursday, June 23, 2011
Sold for £42,000
Chassis no. 1S 1792

- From the final E-Type production year
- RHD, four-speed manual gearbox, powerful V-12 engine

The 1974 Jaguar E-Type Series III Convertible presented here is finished in dark blue with a black leather interior and matching black carpets. Restored in 1992, the car has been exceptionally maintained since, and invoices on file indicate about £4,000 of mechanical servicing conducted in late October 2010, including brake and exhaust work. The paint, chrome and brightwork all remain in very nice condition, and the leather seats sport a lovely patina that could very well be original. Everything is professionally detailed down to the engine bay. Equipped with a four-speed manual transmission and an AM/FM radio, this Series III E-Type rides on standard 15-inch steel wheels shod with Pirelli P5 tyres.

This right-hand drive example features the European specification bumpers as opposed to the larger and rather unattractive U.S.-spec bumpers. With its handsome colour combination, four-speed transmission and V-12 engine, this car begs to be driven and enjoyed.
Addendum
Contrary to what is stated in the catalog, the chassis number of this car is IS1792.

- The original distributor was P. J. Evans of Birmingham

- The first owner was an A. R. L. Mirams of Putney, London

- The motor car spent some of its early life in Norway, as part of a collection in a private museum

- It was repatriated to the UK in 2011. The Jaguar’s mileage at that point was a genuine 56000.

- It has been in the current ownership since 2013.

- Sigma Engineering tuned the E-Type on the rolling road in 2016.

- File contains many invoices, an original handbook, a Jaguar Heritage Certificate and the V5C registration certificate.

This handsome right-hand-drive Roadster has been with the current keeper for a number of years, being improved over time as desired. In current ownership the bodywork has been refinished in its current shade of dark metallic blue, whilst the car retains its original black leather interior. The convertible roof has been replaced by a new item in black mohair, and five new chrome wire wheels acquired.

Garage kept when not in use, the bodywork presents well with good shut lines and an even paint finish. The black leather interior is nicely preserved, with nice black carpeting, a Moto Lita steering wheel and period fitted radio-cassette.

This is an eminently sound example of the popular Series III variant of E-Type, with accompanying history file."
