About this car

A Series III V12 E-Type in the definitive colour combination of British Racing Green over Cinnamon leather — this is the specification most collectors seek. With 34,000 miles recorded and a five-speed manual gearbox, this 1973 roadster represents one of the final and most refined iterations of Jaguar's iconic sports car. The Series III cars received the silky 5.3-litre V12, wider track, ventilated front discs, and power steering as standard, addressing many of the earlier cars' shortcomings while retaining that unmistakable profile.

Tom Hartley describes the condition as incredible, backed by a huge history file — important provenance for a car of this age and value. The five-speed manual is notable; many Series III V12s left the factory with the Borg-Warner automatic, making manual examples considerably more sought-after among driving enthusiasts. At under 35,000 miles from new across five decades, this has clearly been a cherished car rather than a garage ornament.

As values for good E-Type V12 roadsters have settled into firm six-figure territory, examples with the right colour, gearbox, mileage, and documentation continue to command premiums. This one ticks every box.
