About this car

The Series 3 was the last of the E-Types and the only one fitted with Jaguar's 5.3-litre V12. This 1974 roadster pairs that engine with the longer wheelbase and wider track of the final cars, making it the most relaxed and usable of the line.

It is finished in black and shows 27,000 miles on the odometer, a low figure for a car of its age. The page lists three previous owners.

The dealer's listing gives no further detail on service history, gearbox or restoration work, so those points are worth confirming with the seller.
