SUMMARY
Series 3 V12 in triple black, an older restoration but lightly used in previous long term ownership and now in need of recommissioning.
DESCRIPTION
- Designed to showcase the new smooth and torquey 5.3-litre engine, originally developed for Le Mans, the Series 3 cars were available as a Roadster or a 2+2 Coupé
- They were easily identifiable by a large cross-slatted front grille, flared wheel arches, wider tyres, a larger bonnet bulge, updated bumpers, four exhaust tips and a badge on the rear that proclaimed it to be a V12
- The S3 also featured uprated brakes, power steering as standard and a large horizontal scoop added to the underside of the bonnet to assist with cooling
- UK-supplied in 1972, this example is finished in Jaguar Black with a full-length Webasto sunroof over a black leather interior with black carpets
- We understand that it underwent a full bare-metal restoration by R.N. Upton in Tamworth during 1988 and they have maintained it for much of its life
- It was purchased by its previous owner from his accountant in 1973, where it remained until his passing last year with little to no use and consequently is now in need of recommissioning
- The Cherished Registration illustrated, PDD 12, does not form part of the sale
