Auction description:
The Autumn Sale
1973 Jaguar E-Type Series III Roadster
Lot No.: 263

Registration: TBA
Chassis Number: UD1S23062BW
Engine Number: TBA
Number of cylinders: 12
CC: 4200cc
Year of Manufacture: 1973
Estimate (£): 35,000 - 40,000

This highly original Primrose yellow Series III Roadster has been in the same family since new in 1973. Having spent most of its life in the warm climbes of the 'The Golden State' of California, the body shows no signs of rust and the soft top remains unmarked, testament to its infrequent use. For the entirety of its life in the United States, the car had been lovingly stored in a heated garage.

The car is equipped with air conditioning, power steering and automatic transmission, which can only have made driving the open roads of California a sheer delight. We are informed by the vendor that the car drives well, the engine bay is very clean and the paint is in excellent condition. He also comments that the beige leather interior is in first class order.

With a believed genuine 58,381 miles from new and a fresh MOT, this beautiful example is ready to be registered anywhere within Europe. All import duties have been paid and this lovely roadster is ready for registration anywhere in Europe.

Lot 223 at Historics of Brooklands Auction Sale of Classic and Sports Cars on 29 August 2015. Described as a handsome and highly original roadster finished in primrose yellow. The car shows little sign of having ever had any paintwork undertaken and the beige interior trim has a lovely patina to it. Equipped with power steering, automatic transmission and air conditioning, this series 3 is described as driving with no known faults. The silky V12 engine purrs in a way few other vehicles do and the gearbox is smooth in operation. It is believed to have only covered 58,600 miles since it left Browns Lane 42 years ago. Sold for £35,600.

It is believed that the late owner purchased this Primrose Yellow V12 E-Type from a UK auction in 2014. At that time the catalogue description stated that the car had been in the same family's ownership since delivery to California in 1973. It was said that for the entirety of its life in the USA, the car had been carefully stored in a heated garage. Having spent most of its life in that State's warm climate, the body showed no signs of rust and the soft top had remained unmarked, testament to its infrequent use. The then vendor stated that the car drove well, remarking that the engine bay was very clean and the paint in excellent condition. He also commented that the beige leather interior was in first class order. Notable features include air conditioning, power steering and automatic transmission.
