1972 - Jaguar E-Type V12 Series III roadster For Sale by Auction
French registration papers
Chassis N° 1S20145
- Known history from new
- Very good condition
- Rare four-speed manual gearbox
In 1972, in the course of its test of the Series III E-type, US magazine Road & Track remarked that its V12 engine was ‘a pure delight, by itself almost worth the price of admission’ and ‘a lovely piece of machinery, lovely to listen to and behold’. That wouldn’t have amounted to quite as much had the Series II proved slower than its six-cylinder predecessors. But the new all-alloy twin-ohc 5. 3-litre V12 delivered 272bhp, which meant the Series III could exceed 140mph (225km/ h) and hit 60mph (97km/ h) from rest in 6. 4 seconds and 100mph (160km/ h) in under 16 seconds. That made it the fastest-accelerating Jaguar yet made.
The revised body, built on the longer 2+2 wheelbase and available as both a roadster and a coupé, hid uprated running gear, with ventilated front discs, anti-dive front suspension and Adwest power-assisted steering, while the engine was the first to use the Lucas OPUS electronic ignition system. With its flared arches, bird-cage grille, four tailpipes (until 1973) and of course that V12 badge on the boot, the Series III was a very different car from the svelte original – albeit while remaining true to Jaguar’s traditional values of high performance and luxury unequalled at the price. In fact, the E-type had now become more of a luxury GT than a hard-boiled sports car, and unsurprisingly the automatic version was more popular – making a manual-gearbox SIII something of a rarity.
The car presented here was delivered new to Vancouver in Canada and imported to France in 1990 by its second owner, who lived in the Alsace. After purchase he had the E-type inspected by valuer Steinmetz, who pronounced it to be in sound order. In 1999 the Jaguar passed to a well-known collector and gentleman-driver who kept the car maintained for 15 years. In 2014 the current keeper took over ownership and carried out a thorough renovation, for a cost of over 20, 000€, as evidenced by the supporting paperwork provided, which has joined documentation going back to the car’s first owner in Canada.
Today the car is in very fine condition, with its Cotswold Blue paintwork perfectly set off by the grey leather interior and marine-blue mohair hood. An important attraction is that this particular example has the rare and more sporting four-speed manual gearbox rather than the Borg-Warner automatic transmission. Ready for wind-in-the-hair motoring, this is a wonderful way to enjoy the coming months of summer.
This car will be sold by auction by AGUTTES Auction House, in Paris, at the Espace Champerret, France, on June the 23th, 2019.
The digital catalog will be available soon on our website
