About this car

This is a 1973 Series 3 E-Type roadster with the 5.3-litre V12 and a manual gearbox. It is left-hand drive and Swiss-registered. It comes from a Swiss collection and is described as having matching numbers.

The indicated mileage is 36,000 miles (about 58,000 km) from new, which is low for a car of this age. It is finished in Azure Blue over black leather. A new black mohair hood has just been fitted. The car has wire wheels, and the original tool kit and the copper knock-off hammer are included.

A large history file holds bills going back to the 1980s. The car is described as corrosion-free, having been garage kept and used only in dry weather. It will be sold freshly serviced and is currently located south of Lake Constance.
