Jaguar E-Type Series 3

The E-Type Series 3 was introduced in 1971, with a new 5.3 L twelve cylinder Jaguar V12 engine, uprated brakes and standard power steering. Options available were automatic transmission, wire wheels and air conditioning. The brand new V12 engine was originally developed for the 24 Hours of Le Mans. It was equipped with four Zenith carburettors. The final engine was claimed to produce 272 bhp, more torque, and a 0-60 mph acceleration of less than 7 seconds.The short wheelbase FHC body style was discontinued, with the Series 3 available only as a convertible and 2+2 coupe. There were 7,990 convertibles and 7,297 2+2 coupes made, with 15,287 cars in total.This car was imported to the UK from the USA in September 2016, and the present owner registered in his own name in July 2017. Unfortunately no previous history came with the car but the car seems to be in reasonable condition for its age and seems to run well. It is the ideal vehicle to use now and to improve on over the years or to use as a good base for a full restoration.
