Seller's comments about 1973' Jaguar E-Type
TSN 332M is a genuine RHD home market UK specification Jaguar E-Type V12 Roadster. The car was registered on 4th September 1973 and is a low mileage example recording just 62, 200 miles with MOT certificates supporting the mileage back to 1984 at 46, 553 miles. The E-Type has the highly desirable manual transmission and is finished in an excellent colour combination of British Racing Green with Biscuit upholstery and excellent chrome wire wheels with Pirelli tyres. The E-Type has a Black mohair hood and matching hood cover and the boot is lined correctly with Biscuit trim to match the inside of the car.
We sold this V12 to the most recent owner in North London back in 2016 and in the seven years of ownership around 4000 miles have been covered. Over this period over £10, 000 has been spent on maintenance and upgrades and the E-Type returns to us in exceptional condition. Work has included a modified oil filter unit, the differential has been removed for overhaul (new bearings and seals) l and new brake calipers, trailing arms, and bushes. The E-Type has also had new propshaft UJ's, brake pads, handbrake pads. Further expenditure includes a new set of Blockley tyres, new header tank, two front brake hoses, new lower ball joints and full carburettor conversion. Prior to leaving us in 2016, as part of the sale agreement over £3000 was spent on a new mohair hood, new starter motor, new exhaust mountings and various other minor maintenance and service work.
This outstanding E-Type presents superbly, and we can confirm it returns to us is in top class condition throughout. The bodywork is truly exceptional with beautiful straight panels and excellent gaps. The car has a stunning, clean underside and inner wheel arches are pristine. The bulkhead and space frame are in excellent condition with no corrosion issues and the bonnet is also first class. The spare wheel well is presented in excellent order and is painted correctly in body colour. This British Racing Green paintwork is exceptional with a stunning glass finish that is perfectly complimented by stunning chrome work and the excellent wheels and recently replaced tyres.
The upholstery is beautiful. On first glance the interior trim could be mistaken for almost new, but on closer inspection its clear this is a beautifully aged, high quality interior that has been superbly well cared for. The leather seats are beautiful, the carpets have nicely aged and door cards and dash board are excellent. The steering wheel is excellent, as are the correct dials, chrome interior trims and rubber seals. The glass is in excellent order and everything functions and works correctly as expected.
On the road TSN 332M does not disappoint. The V12 E-Type is comfortable, quick, easy to drive and ideal for long distance touring. The power assisted steering is light, the brakes are sharp and efficient, the suspension in excellent order and from looking under the bonnet its clear the suspension and brake components are all in excellent order and have even been kept in excellent cosmetic order. The V12 engine is top class with exciting performance, excellent oil pressure and correct cooling. The four speed manual gearbox is faultless and the rebuilt rear axle superb. The E-Type is very quick and must be driven to be fully appreciated. The car is wonderful on the road, its quiet, free from squeaks, knocks and rattles and is amongst the very best driving E-Type's we see. The E-Type has been with its most recent owner for seven years, the owner prior to these thirteen years and before that the car was with one owner from the early/ mid 1990's.
The E-Type only records four former keepers from new and comes with a comprehensive file of receipts, MOT certificates and tax discs. The file of receipts confirms the vehicle has been particularly well maintained and having covered around 16, 000 miles since 1984, we know the car has spent more time being detailed in the garage than used on the road over the past thirty years or so. The E-Type is a truly exceptional car presented in outstanding, usable condition and will prove a fabulous buy for someone looking to use their E-Type and spend time ensuring it is kept in its current superb condition both inside and outside, both cosmetically and mechanically.
