Seller's description:
Gateway Classic Cars excited present a wine red 1973 Jaguar XKE E-Type convertible at our Milwaukee location. This numbers matching work of art has been considered a touring masterpiece of timeless design. An icon in the motoring world. Designed by Malcom Sayer, the Jaguar XKE was proudly assembled in Coventry England from 1961-1975. The Jaguar XKE went through many technical changes over the years but never lost it's original design appeal. Three different series models were produced during the XKE run. The series 3 was only available as a coupe 2+2 and convertible “roadster" models. The XKE can be distinguished as the car that sparred industry changes in both state- of- the art technology and safety improvements. With such advancements as rack and pinion steering and independent front and rear coil spring suspension. Such early technology that we take for granted in today's automotive world. Jaguar was one of the first manufactures to build a car that was not only fast but could handle curves and corners with ease. This Jaguar e-type comes with the much desirable 5.3-liter V-12 engine attached to a 4-speed manual transmission. The 5.3 liters version produced 282 hp to 295 hp depending on emission controls installed. Conquering a top speed of 150mph. To top off this masterpiece are many convenience features including power steering, power brakes, factory air conditioning, and tan leather seats. This burgundyUD1S21217 beauty also comes with an original set of factory wire wheels.

Odometer: 59413
VIN: UD1S21217
Tracking down a Series III E Type with a known history is tough enough these days, but finding a genuine three owner survivor that has been pampered by the same caretaker for nearly three decades is a rare opportunity. Owned for 27 years by a single long term enthusiast and always kept in a climate controlled environment, this 1973 Jaguar XKE V12 Roadster brings an incredible level of honest provenance to the table. Wearing a single, high quality repaint completed 10 years ago in a rich, deep red finish, this specific roadster stands out as a thoroughly sorted driver rather than a mystery project or an over restored trailer queen.
Tilt the signature forward hinged clamshell hood and you are greeted by Jaguar's legendary V12 powerplant fed by quad carburetors and upgraded with a Crane FireBall XR700 electronic ignition system for reliable spark. Even better, that turbine smooth twelve cylinder power is backed by a proper four speed manual transmission with a clutch pedal, making this a true driver's car that barks out an unmistakable exhaust note through the center exit quad tailpipes. Throughout its life, this XKE has been exclusively maintained by dedicated Jaguar technician Chris Weaver. With a new fuel pump and fuel lines installed in 2025, plus a fresh oil service just completed in 2026, the mechanicals are completely dialed in and ready for the road.
Visually, this drophead hits every classic grand touring note you want to see on a 1973 model. The deep red paint is complemented by bright chrome bumpers with period rubber overriders, a louvered hood bulge, and a practical chrome luggage rack mounted on the rear decklid. It sits right on a set of classic chrome wire wheels wrapped in new Hankook Optimo narrow whitewall tires installed in 2025, giving you timeless curb appeal and fresh rubber for weekend touring. Whether you are cruising with the black soft top raised or running open air with the matching tan boot cover snapped in place, this Jaguar commands attention from every angle.
Stepping inside the cockpit reveals the authentic soul of a well loved survivor. The tan leather bucket seats, matching door panels, and center console showcase an honest, earned patina that tells the story of its careful 53 year life. The driver is treated to a classic three spoke slotted steering wheel framing a full array of factory gauges, rocker switches, and the chrome manual gear lever, while black rubber Jaguar crested mats protect the carpeted footwells. For the collector looking for a turn key, specialist maintained V12 roadster with a rock solid ownership history, this 1973 XKE is ready to be driven and enjoyed immediately.
