Sellers description:
The Series Three E-Type was a heavily modified version of the its predecessors. The car was wider and longer, it had a wider track and beefier wheels and tyres but most importantly, it had 285bhp on tap and could outperform most of the opposition with its 140+mph and startling acceleration.

Unlike the S1 and S2, the S3 came in two, rather than three forms. You could either have a roadster or a fixed head coupe, which were both built on the same wheelbase. The fixed head offered 2+2 accommodation and the roadster had extra luggage space behind the front seats.

This example is a FHC of 1973 vintage, which has the Borg Warner auto transmission. The car has been owned by a husband and wife plus the vendor during it's 31 years life-span and is offered complete with an extensive history file.

The car was actually purchased from a Barons auction in 2000 and has since been the subject of a complete repaint and refurbishment of the interior, including headlining and new carpets. Earlier works included a rebuild of the V12 engine by the highly respected specialists, VSE in 1999.

Finished in metallic turquoise with biscuit leather interior the car is said to be in very good order throughout and to be an excellent driver.
