This lovely Series III E-Type Roadster was finished in the oh-so-1970s combination of Sable (brown) over Cinnamon leather with a Black top—a color scheme it continues to wear today. According to the Jaguar Daimler Heritage Trust Certificate, it was built on November 5, 1973 and dispatched on the 21st of December, it was bound for the US market to be distributed by Bitish Leyland New York. Although the fist owner is not recorded, the car appears to have stayed in the Eastern part of the country as it was acquired by Marsha Lauria of Atlanta, Georgia at the end of August, 1985. Lauria and her husband Vincent thorough enjoyed their Jag, regularly maintaining with numerous copies of records from their ownership and slides of them and the car are on file. Remaining in Ms. Lauria's care for nearly two decades, the Jag was acquired by the current owner in June of 2004.

Today the E-Type appears to be a lovingly preserved, largely original machine. The very period-correct color scheme suits the car well and is accented by the inclusion of both a tan soft top and a tan, vinyl padded removable hard top. Inside, the comfortable, tan leather seats welcome you and the radio—which also appears to be original—looks primed to bring the funk. On static display since acquisition, this cat will require recommissioning prior to active prowling.
