Jaguar E-type Series III

By the mid-1960s, the Jaguar E-Type was appealing to the family man who wanted an elegant sports car with practicality combined. This prompted Jaguar to offer a third option in the form of a 2+2 coupé. By adding nine inches to the wheelbase and two inches in height, it was then possible to fit a rear seat capable of seating two adults in tolerable comfort.

The example we have here is a very genuine UK supplied right hand drive E-Type in its original colours of Light Blue with contrasting Dark Blue leather trim with the engine number matching that on the Heritage Certificate. The car was originally registered on 8th October, 1971 and supplied by Harry Thornes (Dewsbury in Yorkshire) to a Mr RH Thornhill.
It has been enjoyed by a further 8 keepers in its 45 years.

This E Type has been the subject of much recent work including a full strip down and respray. Under the bonnet has been detailed with much work carried out to the underside with replacement floor sections. Mechanical works include a full inspection with particular attention to the braking system that has been overhauled. What we have now fully resprayed beautiful British car with flawless paintwork whilst keeping the patina of the original leather interior.

The Series 3 is becoming increasingly coveted for its smooth refinement and effortless power and with prices rapidly going up, it is quickly becoming a case of 'now or never!'
