1971 Jaguar E-Type -

Restored Series III E-Type Coupe 5.3L V12 4 speed Leather A/C ///
Few automotive brands can match Jaguar when it comes to consistency in design. From the E-type forward, long wheelbase platforms with elongated noses and short rear overhangs became the company's signature look. This coupe stays true to that formula, with sleek bodylines that, in addition to being heavily restored in 2003, we're carefully freshened in 2017. As you would expect, all the car's panels are remarkably straight and free of any notable flaws. And naturally, bright chrome reflects well-maintained stainless. Tilt the hood and you'll find 5.3 liters of Jaguar V12 that was professionally pulled and fully detailed in 2017. Behind that twelve, a factory 4-speed, retrofitted in 2017, transfers torque to a highway-friendly rear end that was fully overhauled in 2018. That drivetrain rides a unique independent suspension, its front-half serviced in 2018 and its rear-half serviced in 2019. Given this is an exclusive luxury car, amenities such as power disc brakes have always been standard equipment. And at the corners of those floors, chromed wire knock-offs, professionally trued, cleaned and balanced in 2017, twist correctly sized 205/70R15 Michelin Defender whitewalls. Behind this Jag's sturdy doors, a luxurious interior, reupholstered in 2002, has been remarkably preserved. Tall bucket seats are wrapped in fine leather covering that provides welcoming comfort. Between those seats, a French-stitched console positions a polished gear selector behind a proper British Leyland AM/FM radio, which sends the beats to modern speakers. Above that console, a factory-spec dash balances an array of Smiths gauges around factory air conditioning. And the driver spins a speed-drilled steering wheel. In the market for authentic luxury motoring that's excellent in virtually every way? Call, click or visit for more information on this dignified Jag!
