SALES INFORMATION
Sable Brown: an original color that is very rare, but looks so fantastic on one of the most beautiful classic convertibles: the Jaguar E-Type Series III V-12 Roadster. In this case we are talking about a recently handed over to us and very extensively restored example built in 1972. The owner / restorer had the car brought from the USA a number of years ago with the intention of restoring it in the short term. But hey, you know how it goes… customer cars come first. And so the car stayed in the workshop longer than expected. Nevertheless, time was made available last year and everything was completed. And that was very neatly executed.
As a true technician, the restorer could not resist applying a highly sought-after modification: a perfectly adjustable injection system. This makes the engine respond and perform so much better than the original carburetors. It is really great to hear how well the engine runs and the car drives. Bearing in mind that the E-Type still needs to be run in, driving could soon become even more enjoyable. Another point of discussion was the original gearbox. The restorer came up with better options for this and installed a Getrag 5-speed gearbox. This is one of the best gearboxes for a classic car. They are known to be very reliable and can be switched with the touch of a finger, so light. With this gearbox, the potential of the mighty 5.3 liter V-12 is even better achieved and the 276 bhp and 408 Nm of torque can be optimally used.
The photos show that the body was not bad, but was still completely overhauled. And that is also the best way to create something beautiful. Many hours of work also went into the beautiful underbody and wheel suspensions. A feast for the eyes and therefore depicted to show that nothing was left to chance. This also applies to the interior, whose black leather matches the brown body and black mohair soft top.
We can really see this E-Type V-12 Roadster as a great opportunity to acquire a fresh and very extensively restored example for a great price. You are very welcome to come to our showroom and experience the car.
