Sellers description:
Location: Kennewick, Washington 99337
VIN #: UC1S73551
Mileage: 21207
Trans: Manual
Condition: Excellent
Exterior: Primrose Yellow
Interior: Black Leather

1972 Jaguar E-Type/XKE LHD 2+2 coupe in original unrestored pristine condition with only 21,207 miles. Original primrose yellow exterior paint, black leather interior, and drive-train all numbers matching VIN#UC1S73551. This car has no rust or body damage with the exception of a few small dents/dings to the front of the bonnet and a missing chrome trim on RH headlight and a grille motif. This Series III has the carburated 5.3 litre V12 and 4-speed manual transmission with A/C, factory tinted glass, and chrome wire wheels. The car has been in covered storage/garaged full time since I purchased it on 3/1979 and driven minimally. I am the third owner of the car and have kept it for 37 years and am now offering it for sale to the serious collector/enthusiast. The car is currently having the fuel pump and carburetors rebuilt as well as a leaking clutch slave cylinder replaced. The buyer will need to have maintenance performed on this car for it to be driven which would include but not be limited to a valve tappet lash adjustment and resealing of the cam towers and valve covers. A radiator service would also be advisable. There are no known mechanical or electrical defects with this car and the motor has always run well with good oil pressure and compression, the transmission shifted well in all gears, and the brakes are good. This car has always been an investment purchase for me with no intention of driving it. My personal assessment of the car's condition as it is now would be a #2 with the potential of becoming a #1 if the new owner so desires with minimal time and money expended. The original radio was replaced long ago by a previous owner as were the front shocks, other than that the car is as it came from the Jaguar factory. Please understand this car is a 44yr old classic car and as such I can make no warranty either express or implied to the future buyer pertaining to the car. In summary, this is a pristine classic collector car that is very much as it came from the dealer and has had only three owners since new, the current owner of 37yrs now offers the car for sale for the price of $55,000 US dollars.

Current bid: $3,050.00, no reserve, 2 bids 6 days left in auction, seller 4kidsnomoney, 21k miles.

Seller's description:

1972 Jaguar E-Type Coupe w/21,200 original miles and same owner from 1977, ~43yrs. Always garaged during ownership and the JCNA Heritage Certificate documents the originality of car, all numbers match. Primrose yellow exterior w/black original interior w/Nardi wood steering wheel, 4-Speed car, Chrome Wire Wheels w/new Sumitomo HTR A/S HR tires and new radial tubes. Exceptional condition w/major maintenance and significant upgrades performed by Owner to enhance overall performance and enjoyment. 

Most recent maintenance/upgrades were to the braking system where new Wilwood front calipers and drilled/slotted vented rotors were installed along with new Master and Servo Brake Cylinders and new reservoirs and braided flex lines. Rear brake bleeder line extensions and caliper pads were also installed and everything completely bled out with Girling GT LMA synthetic fluid. A new Clutch Master and Slave Cylinder were also installed.

Engine maintenance and upgrades include new complete set of coolant hoses, belts, motor and trans mounts, Cometic gaskets used where needed, HP Aluminum 2-row high flow radiator and new correct T-Stats, upgraded electric cooling fans, SNG Barratt HP ignition system including distributor with Magnecor plug wires, carburetors rebuilt w/all new kits and plugs and K&N air filters added, high-torque gear reduction starter added along with a custom spin-on oil filter adapter.

More upgrades include ceramic coating all 4 exhaust manifolds and the new Bell S/S down-pipes, and addition of S/S 'bullet' mufflers. Custom powder coating was applied to the cam covers and the 4 intake manifolds as well. Elimination of 'gulp valve' and 'air injectors' was also performed. New oil pressure senders were added and engine was 'resealed' where possible without removal of oil pan or cam towers. Engine oil and filter changed as well as the transmission and differential gear oils, chassis points and wheel bearings greased, engine timing set and carbs tuned/flowed.

Body panel fit is good, no rust at all, a couple dings/dents nothing big (car body and paint is as it was when purchased in1977), paint is about a 7-8 of 10 mainly due to chips in paint, appears to have been at least partially resprayed but definitely a very nice driver and one that still gets admiring looks at car shows.

All work has been performed by a conscientious owner with the help and advice of fellow Jag owners on the web forums. Receipts for many of the parts used. Everything including gauges and lights and fans and A/C is working with exception of the horn and possibly the fuel level gauge. The radio has been deleted. Comes with the original Owners Manual, jack, K/O tool and hammer (missing a good spare wheel at this time).

The car is finished in Pale Primrose Yellow and features uncovered headlights, a forward-hinged louvered hood, chrome bumpers with overriders, front mud flaps, pop-out rear quarter windows, and polished stainless steel exhaust tips. The hood is said to have been refinished in 2021 following the removal of dents.

The five-digit odometer shows 22k miles, approximately 100 of which were added under current ownership. Total mileage is unknown.

Additional equipment includes powder-coated valve covers, intake manifolds, and air trumpets as well as a custom cooling fan with manual switches, an aluminum radiator, an SNG Barratt ignition system, a high-torque starter, and an 80-amp alternator.

Power is sent to the rear wheels through a four-speed manual transmission that received new mounts under prior ownership. The custom exhaust system comprises Bell stainless steel downpipes and custom stainless steel powder-coated mufflers.
