Auction description:
Lot 352 - 1973 Jaguar E-Type Series III V12 roadster
Bills in excess of £120,000
ESTIMATE £65,000-£75,000
Auction Coys Olympia 2017
Lot Number 352
Reg. Number UK Registered
Chassis Number 1S2429BW

Finished in Carmine red with black leather interior, this exceptional E-Type has one of the most meticulously kept history files we have ever seen. Bills from Jaguar Specialists such as Southern Classics dating as far back as 1983 until present amass to in excess of £120,000 GBP.

The fastidiously kept history file is comprised of two huge ring binders that retain all of the invoices since 1983, as well as numerous old MoT's, previous V5's, original books & stamped service book.

Often called the most beautiful production car of all time, the E-Type remains an automotive icon of design, engineering and speed, and the very late automatic example offered here today, provided with a current MoT, is an excellent illustration of how magnificent these cars looked when new.
