This 1973 Jaguar E-Type Series III 2+2 is powered by a 5.3-liter V12 linked with a four-speed manual transmission and a limited-slip differential. Acquired by the seller in 2013, the car is finished in red over tan leather. Features include four-wheel disc brakes, power steering, 15” knock-off wire wheels, quadruple carburetors, a leather-wrapped steering wheel, and a cassette stereo. Work under current ownership included a refresh on the quadruple carburetors, brakes, and front end suspension along with a replacement clutch, fuel pump, and aluminum radiator. This Series III E-Type is now offered in New Hampshire on dealer consignment with the owner’s manual, service records, a jack, spare parts, and a clean Maine title.

The selling dealer notes that the car was refinished in its current shade of red under prior ownership. Equipment includes uncovered headlights, a forward-hinged louvered hood, pop-out rear quarter windows, and a power antenna. Rust is noted on the bonnet, under the trunk areas, and around the rear wheel arches. Paint imperfections around the car are visible.

Wire-spoke 15″ wheels are secured with knock-off spinners and mounted with 205/70 Vredestine Sprint Classic tires. The Series III E-Type was factory equipped with power steering, and stopping power is provided by four-wheel disc brakes with inboard-mounted rear rotors. The selling dealer states the current owner installed a replacement master cylinder, brake calipers, and brake lines and hoses along with front tie rod ends, ball joints, and bushings.

The 2+2 cabin was re-trimmed in Biscuit leather prior to the current owner’s acquisition, per the selling dealer. Interior appointments include a Blaupunkt cassette stereo, wind-up windows, and a locking glovebox. The air conditioning, radio, and power antenna do not work.

The leather-wrapped steering wheel frames Smiths instrumentation including a 160-mph speedometer and a tachometer with a 6,500-rpm redline. An analog clock along with auxiliary gauges for voltage, coolant temperature, oil pressure, and fuel level are mounted in the center stack. The five-digit odometer shows 84k miles, approximately 7k of which were added under current ownership.

The 5.3-liter V12 was factory rated at 241 horsepower and 285 lb-ft of torque. A PerTronix ignition and high-torque starter are reportedly equipped. The selling dealer states that the engine compartment was refinished under current ownership with overhauls of the distributor and quadruple Zenith-Stromberg carburetors, replacement of the fuel pump, installation of an aftermarket high-capacity aluminum radiator and fan temperature switch, and removal of some pollution controls.

Power is sent to the rear wheels through a four-speed manual transmission and a limited-slip differential. The clutch was replaced under current ownership per the selling dealer.

An owner’s manual, a repair manual, records, a jack, and spare parts are included in the sale.
