Advert on Collector Car. 1973 JAGUAR E-TYPE, , Jaguar Series III, 1973 Etype V12 2+2 w/ 4 speed (manual shift is rare in this model) for sale. I'm the 3rd owner since new. It spent most of its life in New Mexico and then the rest here in the NW. I bought it over 7 yrs ago w/ 60K mi on it and it now has 90K. In that time, restored mechanical to get it back from very good original condition to new car spec including new:  exhaust  cooling system (water pump, recored radiator)  alternator  primary ignition  gel battery  racing grade springs/torsion bars  koni shocks  stainless steel wire wheels (original steel wheels/hub caps also come w/ the car)  Pirelli high-speed tires  rubber thru-out the car including hoses, window/windscreen/door gaskets  door hinges  fuel pump redone:  complete carb (4) rebuild including redone linkage, fuel lines, etc  cylinder heads (new values, guides, springs, etc.)  timing chain tensioner  all engine gaskets  steering rack w/ new hoses  master brake & booster and clutch cylinders (relined w/ stainless steel sleeves)  frontend suspension (complete)  wiper motor I've also had done an excellent down to metal paint job w/ very minor body work by Queen City Auto in Redmond WA. The exterior is now in the original British Racing Green color, but w/ modern paint/clearcoat. And lastly, completed in 2003, a restore of the interior including new- headliner, leather seats (new foam, diaphragms, etc.), wool carpet, and dash pad. All work was done by professionals w/ the car kept in as original condition as possible to enhance its antique value, now and in the future. While I've owned it, this car has mostly been a daily driver- not a garage queen. I'm asking a quite realistic $26K or OBO for a very beautiful- excellent running car in excellent collector condition.

This 1973 Jaguar E-Type Series III 2+2 is powered by a 5.3-liter V12 linked with a four-speed manual transmission and a limited-slip differential. It is finished in British Racing Green over Biscuit leather, and features include four-wheel disc brakes, power steering, 15” knock-off wire wheels, quadruple carburetors, a leather-wrapped steering wheel, a cassette stereo, and air conditioning. The current owner acquired the car in 2014, and the car has since been repainted. This Series III E-Type is now offered as part of Mohr Imports’ Monterey Car Week Collection on dealer consignment with an Arizona title.

The car is finished in British Racing Green and was repainted under current ownership. Equipment includes uncovered headlights, a forward-hinged louvered hood, US-spec bumpers, pop-out rear quarter windows, and a power antenna.

The 15″ wire-spoke wheels are secured with knock-off spinners and are mounted with 205/70 Pirelli P4000 tires. The Series III E-Type was factory equipped with power steering, and stopping power is provided by four-wheel disc brakes with inboard-mounted rear rotors.

The 2+2 cabin features front bucket seats and a reach bench upholstered in Biscuit leather as well as color-coordinated door panels. Interior amenities include a cassette stereo, a locking glovebox, and air conditioning.

The leather-wrapped steering wheel frames Smiths instrumentation including a 160-mph speedometer and a tachometer with a 6,500-rpm redline. An analog clock along with auxiliary gauges for voltage, coolant temperature, oil pressure, and fuel level are mounted in the center stack. The five-digit odometer has rolled over and currently shows 2k miles. Total mileage is unknown.

The 5.3-liter V12 was factory equipped with quadruple Zenith-Stromberg carburetors and was rated at 241 horsepower and 285 lb-ft of torque when new.

Power is sent to the rear wheels through a four-speed manual transmission and a limited-slip differential.
