1971 Jaguar E-Type Series III V12 2+2 Coupe

A host of changes were made to the E-Type for its Series III incarnation. A new 5.3 litre V12 engine was introduced as well as uprated brakes and power steering. The short wheelbase fixed head coupé body style was discontinued and the V12 was available only as a convertible and 2+2 coupé. The car was easily identifiable from earlier models by the large cross-slatted front grille, flared wheel arches and a badge on the rear that proudly states what lies under the bonnet.

Finished in the beautiful Jaguar colour of Willow Green with matching Suede Green leather interior, "KGV 76K' was originally dispatched from Browns Lane in 1971 and delivered new to a UK buyer. Reading just over 80,000 believed genuine miles, there are 19 previous MoT certificates since 1987 that support the total mileage. Numerous bills and receipts from a large history file document expenditure, especially in the last 18 months. Recent work includes a professional respray and there are pictures in the file showing the work carried out. The Willow Green paint has been finished to a high standard and the shut lines are excellent with straight and true body panels. The Suede Green leather interior is highly original and in beautiful condition.

Additional features include a stainless steel exhaust system and 4-speed manual gearbox. The V12 engine fires first time, it sounds very healthy with good oil pressure and a recent service has just been carried out. Supplied with a recent MoT certificate, this E-Type is ready for use this spring and would make an ideal touring companion.
