About this car

This 1974 Jaguar E-Type Series 3 carries the 5.3-litre V12, the last big evolution of Jaguar's sports car. It is finished in Silver with a Russet interior and a black mohair hood, which the page says is its original colour combination.

It was supplied new by British Leyland in New York on 4 July 1974, so it began life as a left-hand-drive export car. It returned to Britain in 1990 and has stayed with the same owner since. It has since been converted to right-hand drive.

The car is described as an older restoration that has mellowed into a usable example. A heritage certificate confirms it is matching numbers. Mileage and gearbox are not stated.
