1973 (M) Jaguar E-Type 2+2

This 1973 Jaguar E-type is the most desirable of the Series 3 2+2: a UK-supplied, matching numbers RHD E-Type V12 in original factory colours with a four-speed manual gearbox. 

Few classics stir the soul quite like an E-type, and the combination of a 5,300cc V12 engine with a 4-speed manual gearbox makes for a particularly engaging proposition for keen drivers. 

Furthermore, this particular E-type is truly a sight to behold. The bodywork, the chrome, interior, chassis, dashboard and engine bay all present brilliantly, which is largely due to a recent expenditure of £30k with marque specialist Trevor Farrington in 2024. 

With a metaphorical ‘open chequebook’ given to Farrington Restorations in 2024, the brief was to make the car as good as possible, both cosmetically and mechanically. With no stone left unturned, and the owner considering the car to be his ‘long-term keeper’, the result is what must be one of the best Series 3 2+2 available today, and a car that can only be described with superlatives.

Presented in its original colours of Signal Red with a near-perfect Black leather interior, the car sits on chrome wire wheels with the ubiquitous Webasto Sunroof. The bodywork shows no signs of corrosion and the panel gaps further impress the quality of the car.

On the move, the silky smooth V12 moves the car along with ease, with the steering responding directly to the wood-rimmed steering wheel, enhanced by direct gear changes and an easy clutch.

Showing a mileage of 29,500 miles, this is a rare opportunity to own a car following an over-investment by the previous owner, which is only available due to his decision to move overseas.

With only 3 previous keepers, this superb E-type will be supplied with the Jaguar Heritage Certificate, 2 keys, a history folder of historical documents, a new no-advisory MOT, and a 12-month market-leading extendable warranty.

Furthermore, prior to release, the car will also be freshly serviced and subjected to our exhaustive pre-delivery inspection.
