When the spectacular Jaguar E-Type was presented at the Geneva Motor Show in 1961, it became the new icon of British sports car manufacturing. It was available as a 2- and 2+2-seater coupé as well as an attractive roadster (also known as an OTS or 'Open Two Seater'). After ten years of production with a 6-cylinder engine, the US version of the E-Type received a newly developed V12 engine with a displacement of 5343 cc and an output of 268 hp in 1971. With this V12, Jaguar presented the first large-scale production twelve-cylinder engine with a light-alloy block. Although the V12 engine compensated for the loss of power due to US legislation, the vehicle was no longer as aggressive overall. It changed its character in the direction of a comfortable cruiser and touring sports car. The Roadster now also had the long wheelbase of the 2+2, but the short Coupé was no longer available. Due to the wider track width and the wider tires, the Series 3 was given wider fenders, giving it a somewhat beefier overall appearance. The improved disc brakes were now ventilated at the front.
The beautiful Series 3 Roadster offered here initially drove in a Sunshine State in the USA and was imported to Germany a few years ago by its current owner. In 2020, it was completely restored in a workshop specializing in British classics. As the owner's circumstances have changed and he now lives mainly in the UK, the impressive open-top British sports car is now for sale as a left-hand drive vehicle with a German license plate and is set to please another enthusiast in the future.
Since its complete restoration, the E-Type has been part of a collection in a dry and temperature-controlled garage and has only been driven a little and only in good weather. It is, therefore, in excellent condition both inside and out. The paintwork in the bright red original color lets the roadster shine in all its glory and shows no scratches, damage, or traces of rust. Even on closer inspection, the chrome plating is above average, from the mighty radiator grille and window frames to the bumpers and the four-pipe exhaust. The car also shows its best side in the interior. The seats were reupholstered as part of the restoration. They are in excellent condition with no visible signs of wear, stains, or tears. The dashboard, the side panels, the carpets in the interior and the trunk, and the beige soft top also look very good and require no further care.
The roadster rolls on beautiful classic spoke rims, fitted with well-profiled Michelin 215/70 VR 15 tires throughout.
A practical, chrome-plated luggage rack on the trunk lid complements the flat luggage compartment and makes the E-Type the perfect touring car for longer spring, summer, or fall vacations.
The vehicle also benefits in technical terms from the recent restoration, during which the entire mechanical system was checked and overhauled. The roadster starts and drives smoothly. As expected, the twelve-cylinder engine impresses with its smooth running and superior power delivery. The automatic transmission shifts smooth as silk. All equipment and operating elements, as well as the steering, brakes, electrics, and lights, work perfectly and without any complaints. The last general inspection was carried out without any complaints. A corresponding classic car certificate, a prerequisite for H registration, is available.
The vehicle is visually and technically in excellent condition and can be used immediately by the new buyer.
The vehicle is being offered on behalf of the owner.
