Jaguar E-Type Series 3 OTS RHD 1974 – SOLD

This V12 E-Type is a beautifully original right-hand drive UK car. First manufactured in 1974 it has covered just over 60,000 miles and remains in wonderful condition. The extensive history file includes MOT certificates dating back to 1977 when the mileage was just 11,667 miles. This documentation, combined with the condition of the car, verifies both its originality and the high levels of care this E-Type must have received over the years.

In recent years this E-Type has been well cared for with regular servicing and some more significant works carried out. The brakes were extensively checked over and overhauled here at Twyford Moors about ten years ago at which time braked hoses were fitted. The car has also had the engine removed, inspected and overhauled. At this time the gearbox was rebuilt by well-respected specialists G Whitehouse Autos.

Cosmetically the car has had some work over the years including the seats being retrimmed along with the bonnet and boot lid being repainted. The car is extremely well presented and looks stunning.

Today the car benefits from several upgrades including an electric cooling fan, Opus electronic ignition from SNG Barratt and a modern radio. The car also had a Brantz rally meter fitted discreetly in the glove box.

This E-Type has become quite well known on the scene in recent years and was a regular feature at E-Type Club events. It took part in both the E-Type 50 and E-Type 60 events as well as the Round Britain Coastal Drive. It has also successfully taken part in a number of classic car tours.
