About this car

This is a Series 3 E-type with the 5.3-litre V12, a late and more relaxed take on Jaguar's sports car, here in left-hand-drive form and with automatic transmission. It was supplied new to Puerto Rico, and the original window sticker is still in the car.

The current owner imported it and carried out a restoration. The paint is Primrose Yellow, stated to be the original colour. The interior has new black leather, the hood is new mohair with a matching cover, and the chrome wire wheels carry new radial tyres. Factory air conditioning was fitted from new and remains.

The page gives 41,499 miles from new. The original book pack and British Leyland Passport to Service paperwork come with it, along with a large bill file showing restoration work, including parts from SNG Barratt.
