1974 Jaguar TYPE E V12 Roadster French registration Technical inspection Chassis no. 1S2631 The latest iteration of the legendary E-Type: the engine has been upgraded, this time to a 5.3-litre aluminium V12 developing 272 bhp... The lines have also been revised to make them longer and to meet the requirements of this type of engine. Equipped with the desirable manual gearbox, the car has been in a major French collection for 19 years, and is believed to have arrived on French soil in 1998. Cosmetic condition revealing an old restoration of fairly good quality, in need of attention in certain areas, notably the upholstery finish and the rocker panels, which show some traces of surface corrosion (particularly on the rear wheel arches, which appear to have been reworked before arriving with the current owner); the soft top is in good condition overall. As this car has seen very little use in recent years, the mechanics require an extensive general overhaul, including a complete overhaul of the engine and running gear. However, the car is functional and the stainless steel exhaust system was replaced in 2020, the year in which it underwent its last general overhaul. A great opportunity for an enthusiast looking for a hair-raising drive in a Type E V12 on a - very - reasonable budget! Vehicle records and condition reports are available on request and must be viewed in full by bidders prior to the sale.
