Auction description:

Lot Number 220

Sold For $128,800

1973 Jaguar E-Type Series 3 V-12 Roadster

Offered without reserve RM Sotheby's - AMELIA ISLAND 2019

Chassis No. UD 1S 22046

Ground-up restoration by Farland Classic Restoration at a cost of over $200,000

Two-owner, rust-free Arizona car prior to refurbishment; 41,000 miles indicated

Top specification, including a factory hardtop

Upgraded with five-speed manual gearbox

Accompanied by owner’s manual and Jaguar Daimler Heritage Trust (JDHT) Certificate

This example, from 1973, is reported to be a two-owner, rust-free Arizona car and has benefited from a comprehensive, nut-and-bolt restoration. The work was completed by Farland Classic Restoration at a cost of over $200,000, with invoices and photos for the work included with the car. During the restoration, the colors were changed to the classic Jaguar livery of British Racing Green over tan. Two tops accompany the car, a black convertible top as well as a restored black factory hardtop. The interior features Smith’s instrumentation, factory radio, and air conditioning. During the restoration the car was upgraded to a close-ratio five-speed manual transmission for relaxed highway cruising, a very popular change. The E-Type rides on Vredestein Sprint Classic tires mounted on new chrome wire wheels. The car is accompanied by its owner’s manual and JDHT Certificate.

The Series 3 marked the final iteration of Jaguar’s famed E-Type. Easily one of the finest examples extant, this Arizona Jaguar has all the desirable features of the model: factory hardtop, air conditioning, and chrome wire wheels. It also retains the more pleasing small bumperettes, plus the useful manual transmission upgrade to a five-speed. Having benefited from a no-expense-spared restoration, with fewer than 500 miles since its completion, this E-Type presents impressively and is ready to be shown and enjoyed for years to come.
