Jaguar E-Type SIII Roadster
For Sale by Auction Wednesday December 8th 2004, at -
The Octagon Theatre
Pavilion Gardens
Buxton,Derbyshire,SK17 6XN, United Kingdom
As confirmed by a receipt on file, this 1971-built Series 3 V12 convertible was purchased by the current owner's father from XK Engineering in November 1994, since when the leading marque specialists have carried out a full rebuild, again there being documents detailing work done among the paperwork. We are advised by the vendor that, since restoration, XRW 525 has only been driven during the summer months and, when not in use, has always been parked in a heated garage.

The condition of monocoque and front chassis framework is described as very good with silver paintwork said to be mint and only some small indentations to the front number plate. The interior trimmed out in burgundy leather is also mint as are 5343cc twelve-cylinder motor, three-speed automatic transmission and electrical equipment. The 61,060 mileage displayed when entered is believed by the vendor to be the genuine total from new. MOT and tax disc are valid until next May.
