This is a UK-supplied, right-hand-drive Series 3 E-Type roadster with the V12 and a manual gearbox, rebuilt well beyond factory specification. It has been featured in Jaguar magazines, and the build is documented in five history files.
The headline change is a fuel-injected 6.0-litre V12 developed by TWR, using a new boxed engine bought for the project. Ohlins dampers and upgraded springs are fitted, along with a bespoke hand-made stainless exhaust. The aim was stronger performance and tighter body control while keeping the E-Type's comfortable ride.
The previous owner, a collector, bought it from E-Type specialists Eagle E-Type, who carried on maintaining and developing it, with invoices on file. It is sold with a number plate described as highly appropriate. Price and mileage are not given on the page.

The maker’s official figures for this model, not measurements of this car (Jaguar's published Series 3 V12 engine figures (5.3-litre V12, 272 bhp DIN, European spec). Weight, top speed and acceleration were left null because the period numbers come from magazine road tests, not confirmed factory data.).
