Description
1972 Jaguar E-Type V12 Series 3 French registration document Chassis number: 1S70499BW - 5.3-litre Jaguar V12 - Nearly €33,000 recently spent on the car - Elegant black-on-red livery The main innovation of this final generation lies in the adoption of the famous 5.3-litre V12 engine. Smooth, powerful and exceptionally refined, it transforms the E-Type into a true grand tourer capable of covering long distances in remarkable comfort. Combined with wider track, improved ventilation and further enhanced handling, the Series 3 is now recognised as one of the most enjoyable to drive within the E-Type line-up. The example offered for sale is a 1972 2+2 Coupé version fitted with an automatic gearbox. Originally delivered to the US market, this Jaguar was subsequently converted to European specification, allowing it to take on a presentation more in line with the models sold on our continent. Its combination of a black exterior and red interior gives this E-Type a particularly elegant presence. The overall condition is very appealing, both on the outside and inside the cabin, highlighting the timeless lines designed by Malcolm Sayer. This Jaguar also comes with a comprehensive file of invoices covering the period from 2022 to 2025, representing a total investment of nearly €33,000. In 2022, major work was carried out on the rear suspension, including the replacement of the silent blocks and tie rods, as well as the rear shock absorbers. The braking system was also upgraded, including the replacement of the brake reservoirs and a complete bleed of the front and rear circuits. In the same year, the left-hand side manifolds and a complete stainless steel exhaust system were fitted, whilst the door locks were replaced. The year 2023 saw several particularly welcome mechanical improvements. The original Stromberg carburettors were replaced with SU HIF44 carburettors, renowned for their efficiency and ease of adjustment. The car also benefited from a conversion to electronic ignition, as well as the replacement of the fuel pump and fuel hoses. Finally, cosmetic repairs were carried out between 2024 and 2025 to maintain the car’s overall presentation. With its iconic V12 engine, particularly elegant presentation, conversion to European specification and recent service history, this Jaguar E-Type Series 3 represents an attractive opportunity for enthusiasts of classic British grand tourers. 1972 Jaguar E-Type V12 Series 3 French Registration Certificate Chassis Number: 1S70499BW - 5.3-litre Jaguar V12 - Nearly €33,000 recently invested - Elegant black-on-red colour scheme The main new feature of this final generation is the adoption of the famous 5.3-litre V12 engine.
