DESCRIPTION

The world famous E-Type was introduced in 1961 at the Geneva Motor Show. It was initially designed and shown to the public as a rear-wheel drive grand tourer in a two-seat coupé form and later in a convertible body style. A host of changes were made to the E-Type for its Series III incarnation, including a new 5.3-litre V12 engine, uprated brakes and power steering. The short wheelbase fixed head coupé body style was discontinued and the V12 was available only as a convertible and 2+2 coupé. The car was easily distinguished from earlier models by the large cross-slatted front grille, flared wheel arches and a badge on the rear that proudly states what lies under the bonnet. Throughout the life span of the E-type, it has been regarded as one of the most iconic automobile designs of the 1960s.

Offered from a private collection of cars, this example is an original right-hand drive, manual gearbox car, built in 1972, but first registered with the DVLA on 3rd January 1973. Finished in white with a blue interior, the car was bought by a Mr T. Boost in 1991. An MoT in the history file from 1998, when the car had covered 68,649 miles, is probably infact the last time the car was on the road, as the tax disc in the windscreen from 1999 would also suggest. The car then didn't turn a wheel for 13 years and sat in Mr Boost's garage until our vendor purchased it in 2012 as a restoration project.

Very much a hands-on enthusiast, our vendor set about purchasing new items for the car before he'd even begun to dismantle it! These parts included; 5 brand new wire wheels & 4 tyres, 4 Jaguar wheel spinners, a new steering wheel, new rubber engine hoses, new front carpet set and a new windscreen rubber set, along with a host of other sundry items that accompany the sale of this car. This E-type is being sold as a non-running project and one can assume that the engine probably hasn't been started for over 15 years. With an odometer now showing 70,241 miles, this Series III 2+2 Coupe is the perfect candidate for a full restoration, and once finished you'll be able to get the kids in the back! Supplied with a V5c and old MoT certificates, this could be your next project to while away those long Summers evenings ( and probably a fair bit of the Winter!).....
