I have owned and brokered many E-Type's in the past 15 years, and I know how hard it is to find a good XK-E, let alone a GREAT XK-E!

Save Yourself alot of financial and emotional Pain, and salvage your ego, by owning the Best car You can Find. If you have the money and are new to the 'Hobby', please don't get "Stung" with a Bad Jaguar-It will Eat You alive!

-By Now everyone is wondering, what current/potentail problems or repairs can I expect with this car? Currently not many at all. Being an anal perfectionist, I have noticed a few minor issues that need fixed. The future problems are hard for anyone to predict!

1)The clock needs a battery installed.

2)The fuel tank guage shows incorrecty(I just filled it and it still shows 1/2 full)and most likely needs a new sending unit.

3)The front lower air scope is missing it's chome surrond, but was found in the trunk.

4)The A/C blows kinda cold, but could use a re-charge(I include a 1bl.can of freon that you can get installed.

5)There are a total of 5-6 paint Chips(one on the bonnet and 3-4 paint chips and a small ding on R/H rear wheel wheel lip. See photo that I have included of it!

6)The rear trunk lid latch catches only when closed hard (fairly common), but if inspected carefully in the right light you will see slight imperfections in boot lower center contour.

7)If this car wasn't so nice and original I could afford to keep it myself, But If I did the own it for life, the 1st thing I would do is replace the OE Radiator with a 'Classic Jaguar' unit with Built in H/D Nascar Cooling fan! Bottom line is that all these cars run hottter that I Like, and it was more a Jaguar design flaw and a particular car flaw! Carbs may need a further adjustment depending on your altitude and/or climate(or other)!!!

8)Oh yeah, I almost forgot that the L/H lower door rubber is slighly torn from being folded over incorrectly for so many years!

8)Lastly, I have never have the Original Convertible top up, but it is rumoured to have a small tear in it, an I would be more than willing to send any Serious Bidder a photo of it or any other part of the car that you may have a question about!

In Closing I Firmly Believe that the best of these cars will soon be well over $100,000.00 very soon, and only the Best of The Best will Get There 1ST. This is the Best of the Best in the Un-Restored/Survivor category! From my carefull inspection I can not see any evidence of Accident Damage, Paint Work, or Rot/Cancer/Rust anywhere on this car, Yes there are a few spots of surface rust on under-body components or a under car paint chip or two-But that is the extent of it! Come see it over the next 10 days and I guarentee that you will be very Impressed!!! Caution-If you see or/or drive this car you will Just Have To Have it!

For sale at the Classic Car House of Kongens Lyngby for 699,900 Danish kroner. Amended seller's description below.

www.classiccarhouse.dk/koeb.klassik-bil

We have pleasure in offering an exceptionally well preserved and completely original example. The legendary Jaguar E Type Series 3 benefitted from the absolutely marvellous 5.3 litre V12 engine. Add a 4 speed manual transmission and you have the recipe for the enthusiasts Grand Tourer. This 1973 E Type Roadster rolled out of the factory in Coventry on 16 February 1973, and began life in Colorado. It was imported into Denmark in 2007, with the last owner purchasing the car in 2011. He had the car for little more than 13 years, and overall it has accumulated a mere 32,500 miles.

This beautiful roadster is presented in its original Green Sand and has never been restored or rebuilt. The engine and transmission are matching numbers, and aside from regular maintenance and a few technical upgrades, the car remains 100% original. A mass of documents, including all American and Danish papers, import documents, sales invoices, service records and brochures are included. It also has the original tool set. This is a truly unique opportunity to get your hands on an original and well preserved E Type V12 roadster.
