Henlys of London-supplied, right-hand drive Series 3 from 17-years ownership
Bare metal respray in Signal Red with black tex interior with a photographic record
Invoices in excess of £27,500 in the file from XK Engineering Ltd dated back to 1993
Jaguar main dealer maintained since 2005 with 13 service invoices in the file
Cracking Series 3 with a Heritage Certificate and a fascinating history file

We are pleased to offer this original right-hand drive, manual gearbox, UK-supplied 1971 E-Type Series 3 Roadster which, according to its Jaguar Heritage Certificate, was built on 16/09/71, finished in white with light blue interior and dispatched to Henlys Limited, London on 14/10/71.
This well-restored example is now finished in Signal Red with Black Tex trim and has been owned by our vendor for some 17 years, having purchased it in late 2002. Currently indicating 67,788 miles, the car has patently been looked after and carefully maintained during his ownership with the service records confirming that it's had 13 annual services at a Jaguar Main Dealer over the 13 years between 2005 and 2018. It has covered less than 2,500 miles during this period and around 3,934 miles to date during current ownership.
The car is accompanied by an interesting history file which, as well as the service records, contains 20 pages of invoices in excess of £27,500 from XK Engineering Ltd. dating back to to 1993, old MOTs going back to 1981, a photographic record of a bare metal respray and a further invoice dated February 2004 from the E-Type Centre, Warwickshire, where our vendor treated the car to a new hood, a full service, and other remedial work at a total cost of £1,981.

Having used the car sparingly during his long ownership, our vendor has reluctantly taken the decision to sell his beloved E-Type. Currently, indicating 67,788 miles, this well presented Series 3 in Signal Red and black, on chrome wire wheels, with a fascinating history file, an MOT until October 2019 issued with no advisories and guided sensibly, will put a smile on anybody's face this summer.
