I offer a Jaguar E Type in excellent mechanical and bodywork condition. It has come from a collection, is a fantastic drive and absolutely reliable. This E Type was first delivered in England on 13 December 1973 and brought to Germany in 1990, where it has remained for over 30 years. During this time it was restored which explains the good condition of this car. After restoration the E Type went to a well known collector and we then bought the car from him. Thanks to the automatic transmission the E Type is easy to drive and suitable for everyday use.
The right hand drive takes a bit of getting used to but a real Brit must have steering on the right. We sold this E Type to one of our customers, another collector, who has now reluctantly returned it to us to sell due to lack of space. During his time he invested in further works on the car to take it to even better condition. Driving this icon is great, the view over the endless bonnet accompanied by the sound of the twelve cylinder engine is unique. If you are looking for an absolute classic take a look at this E Type.

Car was also for sale in Germany in 2022 with this description:
A Series 3 Jaguar E-Type with a V12 engine is now up for auction: This right-hand drive coupé, built in 1973, bears chassis number 1S51142BW and was originally delivered to England. In 1990, the British car came to Germany, where it remained for 30 years. A restoration was also carried out in Germany. According to the seller, this E-Type has had a total of five owners, most recently from a private collection. It is also worth noting that a TÜV inspection will be carried out before the car is handed over to the new owner.
Due to recent restoration work, the Jaguar's bodywork is in excellent condition all around. All decorative elements are also complete and, as far as can be seen, undamaged. According to the current owner, no flaws are apparent in the white paintwork, and even upon closer inspection, this coupé impresses with its good visual condition. No modifications to the exterior deviating from the original condition are noticeable.
The original Jaguar chrome wire wheels are fitted with Goodyear whitewall tires with apparently sufficient tread remaining. According to the seller, no issues can be identified with either the brakes or the suspension.
Black leather fills the interior of this Jaguar E-Type V12. Because this coupé was delivered in England, it is a right-hand drive. Like the exterior, the interior is also in well-maintained and excellent condition. No damage or missing parts are apparent. The most striking feature of the black interior is the three-spoke wood and aluminum steering wheel.
The five-digit odometer reads 66,490 kilometers – unfortunately, according to the seller, no proof of this mileage is available. All instruments, gauges, and interior controls function perfectly.
Under the massive hood lies a 5.3-liter V12 engine, which transmits its 271 hp to the rear wheels via a 3-speed automatic transmission. Technically, this E-Type is in good and sound condition, according to the current owner.
Even upon closer inspection, this Jaguar's underbody appears to be in good condition. A Jaguar E-Type is an icon of British automotive engineering; not only does its captivating silhouette impress, but the V12 engine also delivers pure goosebumps. According to the seller, this Jaguar E-Type up for auction is intended for those who are looking for an absolute British dream classic, a right-hand drive vehicle in good condition, which can also be easily driven in everyday life thanks to its automatic transmission.
