First registered on 20/07/1973, this left-hand drive E-Type Series 3 V12 Roadster is finished in Opalescent Gunmetal over Navy leather with a matching soft top

Powered by Jaguar's celebrated 5.3-litre V12 engine coupled to the desirable manual gearbox, it combines the E-Type's unmistakable styling with the refined performance and open-top motoring for which the model is renowned

Indicating 54,720 miles at the time of cataloguing, with three former registered keepers and nine years of current ownership, during which time the car has benefited from restoration and mechanical refurbishment

Work undertaken included a bare-metal respray in Gunmetal and a complete interior retrim. The exterior is complemented by multi-spoke chrome wire wheels with pencil whitewalls

Mechanical work included the fitment of a stainless steel exhaust system, a new braking system and replacement suspension components, together with further work undertaken during current ownership

Accompanied by invoices totalling in excess of £50,000 relating to the restoration and mechanical work carried out during current ownership. The car also benefits from an MOT valid until October 2027, issued without advisories. The cherished registration number, 401 JOR, is included in the sale

With the ever-increasing cost of restoration work, this beautifully presented Series 3 Roadster seems very sensibly guided
