1972 Jaguar E-Type Series III V12 Coupe

Make: Jaguar

Model: E-Type Series III V12 Coupe

Year: 1972

Registration Number: HGF 405K

Transmission: Automatic

Steering: Right Hand Drive

Colour: Powder Blue

Bought out of a deceased Estate by a motoring journalist.

Understanding that a photographed restoration was carried out in 1989, and then a full body restoration in 2010. At that time, it also had a major brake overhaul (all new brake discs, callipers, pads and hoses). A new cylinder head gasket set has been fitted, plus a Kevlar hose kit. All the belts have been renewed and the carburettors overhauled (Jaguar owners will note the conversion to favoured SU carbs at some point) . The exhaust system was new and stainless steel, and the Jaguar sits on new chrome wire wheels with chrome correct knock-on wheel nuts.

The E-Type has clearly been cherished and the beautiful sports car comes with the V5C registration certificate and its replacement showing but three previous owners, to me, together with a repair manual, service handbook, invoices, and parts list, plus the Jaguar Heritage Certificate and correspondence. MOTs in the file date back to 1985 and the mileage that year was 8667. It currently stands at under 13 000 miles. Checked all paperwork, which includes SORN declarations and it seems it might be true.

As part of the on-going 2022-23 re-commission, oils and filters replaced and engine check (60 psi at cold idle, and thought to be a strong engine) (cost £614), then work by specialist: heater matrix replaced, all hoses, water pump, choke cable etc still to be completed £... watch this space.
