The offered E-Type Convertible in detail
The convertible offered here was first taken over by the Scuderia Sportiva Colonia in 2012 and over the years it has been partially restored. This E-Type was repainted; the interior lined with new black leather; fitted with a new Moto Lita wooden steering wheel; the suspension overhauled; the engine inspected and resealed, improved "performance air filters" and a sports exhaust system has been added. The highlight is certainly the Cosworth 5-speed gearbox, which was also newly installed at the time. With this gearbox, the power and the overall performance of the V12 is even better. The pulling power is breathtaking. Cosworth gearboxes have also been tested by Jaguar several times in racing and used in endurance races.
In addition, the shapely "headlamp covers" of the first series of the Jaguar E-Type were installed in the course of the bodywork work. The second and third series of E-Types had to do without the headlamp covers due to American safety regulations. As a result, the front headlights stood somewhat unmotivated "in the wind". We have rectified this stylistic inconsistency with this original version. The beautiful wire-spoke rims complete the picture. In 2022 replacement of the soft top. The customer requested a red soft top with matching tarpaulin. As a special treat, the original factory hardtop painted in the color of the car is also available.
The history of this Jaguar is almost completely traceable. First delivery New York/ USA in August 1971. According to production records it is the 27th model of the 3rd series. In the 80s this E-Type came into the hands of the M. family from Pennsylvania. From father to son, who took it to England in 2009. From him we acquired the vehicle. The engine is "matching" the delivery color was racing green, the M. family repainted it in silver metallic already in the 80s.
Currently we have the following vehicle documentation at our disposal. Original English vehicle registration certificate "UK Registration Certificate", Jaguar Heritage Certificate (production report) and a value appraisal from 2021, which certifies the grade 1- for this feline predator.
It will be difficult to find a comparable noble and good looking V12 of the 3rd series on the market.
The last owner did not really "warm up" to this exceptional Jaguar and so we bought this dream car back after only 300 km driven by him.
