Jaguar E-Type V12 Roadster

This is a Series 3 E-Type V12 roadster from the final production run. Jaguar built 7,990 V12 roadsters, and only 1,872 were right-hand drive. Chassis 1S 2765 was built in February 1974, about four months before production ended, and the Jaguar Heritage Trust trace certificate makes it the 107th car from the end. It is a matching-numbers car in its original Signal Red with black leather, and it has the desirable four-speed manual gearbox.

The odometer reads 19,027 miles, which the dealer describes as documented from new. The car was delivered by Henlys of Piccadilly and first registered in January 1975. It has had three owners. The second kept it from 1982 and added only around 700 miles in 21 years, partly because the car was on loan to the Haynes Motor Museum. The current owner bought it in 2003 and kept it in dehumidified storage, covering under 1,000 miles.

The history file holds MOT certificates from 1982, the Passport to Service book, the original handbook, old tax discs and some invoices. It comes with its factory hard top and a black vinyl hood. The dealer reports light servicing and small cosmetic repairs only, a fresh service and MOT, and a clear HPI check. It rides on 15-inch chrome wire wheels.
