1972 Jaguar E-Type Series III V12 Manual FHC

The world famous E-Type was introduced in 1961 at the Geneva Motor Show. It was initially designed and shown to the public as a rear-wheel drive grand tourer in a two-seater coupé form and later in a convertible body style. The 2+2 version with a lengthened wheelbase was released several years later. Throughout the life span of the E-type it has been regarded as one of the most iconic automobile design icons of the 1960's.

At launch, even Enzo Ferrari was quoted as saying it was "the most beautiful car in the world".

To say this is a fantastic find would be something of an understatement, a black manual V12 E type on wire wheels, it evokes so many images of what to many is the perfect classic car, looks, pace, rarity, the list goes on.
