About this car

This 1974 Series 3 E-Type Roadster is a right-hand-drive, UK-market car with the 5.3-litre V12 and a manual gearbox. It has been reworked by E-Type UK to feel sharper than the typically relaxed Series 3, which makes it a more purposeful take on the V12 car.

The main change is a conversion to six Weber carburettors, set up and calibrated on a rolling road. It also has bespoke 12-branch tubular exhaust manifolds and a full system, plus an electronic ignition upgrade. The suspension has been overhauled with rebuilt components and uprated dampers and bushes. The dealer cites more than £14,000 of documented mechanical work, carried out in a single phase and followed by further servicing.

It is finished in Carmen Red with a tan interior and red and tan detailing. Changes inside are modest: a Motolita sports steering wheel, an upgraded audio system with modern connectivity and inertia seatbelts. A comprehensive history file is said to accompany the car. No mileage or registration is given on the page.
