Auction description:
Salon Privé

Lot 156
1974 Jaguar E-Type Series III Convertible
To be auctioned on Thursday, June 23, 2011
Sold for £42,000
Chassis no. 1S 1792

- From the final E-Type production year
- RHD, four-speed manual gearbox, powerful V-12 engine

The 1974 Jaguar E-Type Series III Convertible presented here is finished in dark blue with a black leather interior and matching black carpets. Restored in 1992, the car has been exceptionally maintained since, and invoices on file indicate about £4,000 of mechanical servicing conducted in late October 2010, including brake and exhaust work. The paint, chrome and brightwork all remain in very nice condition, and the leather seats sport a lovely patina that could very well be original. Everything is professionally detailed down to the engine bay. Equipped with a four-speed manual transmission and an AM/FM radio, this Series III E-Type rides on standard 15-inch steel wheels shod with Pirelli P5 tyres.

This right-hand drive example features the European specification bumpers as opposed to the larger and rather unattractive U.S.-spec bumpers. With its handsome colour combination, four-speed transmission and V-12 engine, this car begs to be driven and enjoyed.
Addendum
Contrary to what is stated in the catalog, the chassis number of this car is IS1792.
