1973 JAGUAR E TYPE SERIES 3 LHD Manual new UK Reg For Sale

Currently fitted Chevrolet Corvette Sting Ray 350 Cu short block engine)
The 350 cu in (5735 cc engine) (short Block) Chevrolet Corvette Sting Ray tuned rebuilt Engine, it has a (Edelbrock fuel system, and mild cam). The 5 speed gearbox (is potentially a Muncie gearbox), were installed in the Jaguar after the Jaguar V12 engine and manual gearbox were removed when in Canada. This rebuilt Chevy engine is a healthy with a good roar, and can be seen and heard, with absolutely no visible smoke
In the USA and Canada these 350 cu (5735 cc engine) short block engines are commonly used here and USA in many Hot Rod projects, due to their robust and well-established reliability history. The more complex Jaguar V12 engines are seen as unreliable by Americans, and expensive to rebuild, hence these conversions.
To summarise by saying this is quite a common conversion over in the USA and Canada,
Apparently, the Chevy engine fits easily with no chopping or welding, required, thus the V12 can be re-installed relatively easily, it would appear, according to various individuals but unproven I suspect..

The Jaguar E Type Series 3, coupe 2 plus 2
The Jag was bought new in Canada in 1973. I am told it had 3 owners, and its total mileage is less than 65K.
The body is exceptionally sound and rust-free, with good panel fit. The paintwork has been resprayed silver since its Canadian registration. The paintwork is perfectly serviceable but certainly not as yet to show standard. If I was keeping this I would have a quality re-spray done. It has what appears to be a Jaguar fitted steel sunroof. 
The interior is in good condition and the leather seats are Antelope (Beige) in Colour, the seats have no cuts, there seems to be some newish interior replacement. The wheels are good with recent looking tyres, the bright-work is good. This is a good, driveable car with outstanding performance.
Car Usage and potential for this car.
•   The car can be used as is with the Chevrolet Engine and Manual Gearbox, as is, before deciding if the buyer wants to find and fit a Jag V12 engine and Gearbox, to replace The Chevy engine.
•   I would suggest that this health Chevy 350 Cu In Engine and 5 speed Gearbox could be sold for a few £1000’s, the engine which can be heard running at this time, a potential buyer can hear the exhaust roar.
•   This car is ideal as a road car, in its present form, or can be seen as a longer term project donor car and as such viewed as an appreciating investment.
