This elegant E-Type Jaguar is an interesting V12 Series 3 version. It features the final changes developed for the model, significantly improving its handling. The model we are presenting was one of the very last built, as only 18 cars followed it off the assembly line. It was sold new in New York in 1974 and features the 4-speed manual gearbox. Exported to Europe in 1985, it has since undergone a good deal of work, as the bill file confirms. In 2006, it was repainted and the engine was completely overhauled by Classic Garage. The hood, wheels, shock absorbers, bushings and front brakes were replaced. In 2007, ownership passed to the then president of the Delahaye club, who covered nearly 40,000km with it. In 2014, the car was entrusted to the Ateliers Harper workshop for significant mechanical work including overhauling the brakes and refurbishing the front suspension; then, in 2015, the gearbox was overhauled. Its current owner acquired it in 2016, before handing it over to Jag Shop in London in 2017 for the engine bay to be refurbished and a substantial mechanical restoration. Offering excellent performance and in an attractive colour combination, with substantial work having been carried out, this V12 E-Type is ready to set off on holiday.

Auction estimate: €70 000 / 100 000
