1972 E Type S3 coupe Manual 59000 miles history Webesto For Sale

1971 Jaguar V12 E type Manual
59, 000 miles from new

Factory RHD Manual chassis number 50900 was manufactured on 21st December 1971 and delivered to T. E Knight of Leeds in March 1972.
It has a history file and MOT certs to back up mileage. Has all matching numbers and rare webasto full length sun roof.
It was stripped and repainted completely in Aston Martin Green in 1992 which I think suits it and makes it very individual. They also undersealed the bonnet in the same colour so stopped any rust. It would seem that whilst the engine was removed for the colour change the clutch was replaced. Mileage then was around 32, 000 miles
The car was used very sparingly over the years after this work but was MOT tested each year and necessary works carried out as required for which there are a bundle of receipts in the file.
I purchased the car in May 2015 with 52, 000 miles for £36k. The AA had conduced a history check on the car. I immediately set about a mechanical overhaul as the car had been used so sparingly and we wanted to use the car as a reliable means of transport.
The following works were therefore undertaken:-
• Major service.
• Change gearbox and axel oils.
• New distributor cap, rota arm and plug leads.
• Remove both engine cylinder heads and examine cylinder bores for wear.
• Overhauled cylinder heads and reassembled.
• Remove engine sump and examine bottom of engine
• Fit new timing chains and tensioners.
• Fit new water pump
• Back flush engine cooling system.
• Replace all coolant hoses.
• Replace with correct coolant inhibitor.
• Replace ignition loom harness was brittle.
• Fit two new exhaust manifolds.
• Remove rear subframe.
• Fit new rear subframe mounts.
• Fit Rob Beere Racing adjustable rear springs and dampers
• Overhaul rear brake calipers.
• Overhaul hand brake mechanism
• Fit new rear brake discs and brake pads.
• Replace hand brake pads
• Fit new hand brake cable
• Fit new central exhaust mounts
• Overhaul front suspension ball joints
• Fit adjustable front dampers.
• Overhaul front brake calipers.
• Fit new front brake discs and brake pads
• Fit all new flexible brake hoses.
• Overhaul brake servo.
• Fit new brake reservoir warning indicator.
• Flush out braking system and refill with new fluid
• Fit new handbrake cable
• Remove and overhauled steering rack and replace PAS fluid
• Fit electric coolant fan override switch as a precaution.
• New engine belts.
• Tune engine
• Fit uprated halogen headlamps.
On completion of work the E Type restoration company Rushton Engineering produced a letter informing me that this car is to original specification well maintained and an exceptionally roadworthy car.
I can confirm this as the majority of the 7, 000 miles we have done in the three years have been fault free most of which were long trips. The work I had done would probably never have been done for someone who just wanted to potter locally but I wanted reliability. She is a pleasure to drive on motorways and country roads alike with absolutely bags of power. She has never let us down even in high temperature heavy summer traffic.
The car is a very honest and are getting more difficult to find with most of the patterner including the original carpets all be they a bit worn in places. The drivers seat leather gave way under my weight so have put some tape over it to stop it getting worse.
The paint job is now 36 years old and although still looks really good it has some flaking around bonnet louvers and around rear air grill. Also a crack in the paint on the n/ s/ r wing about 3mm which has been there since we have had the car.
We cannot see that we will be using the car much now as we are spending a lot of the summer abroad and it is only a summer car. So reluctantly we have decided to sell her. Certainly we will not recover that massive spend we have invested. We are in no hurry to sell. I consider the car to be a very honest genuine example which is in very good mechanical condition with good bodywork for it’s age.
