Auction description:
Brightwells Classic Vehicles
Wednesday 25th November 2015
Lot number 124
Estimate £45,000 - £55,000
Description Jaguar E-Type S3 V12 Roadster
Registration BJA 325K
Year 1972
Colour Red
Engine size 5,343 cc
Chassis No. 1S51021
Engine No. 7P12510
Documents V5C; MOT June 2016; handbooks; invoices

Finished in the classic E-Type combination of red coachwork with a black leather interior, this 1972 V12 Roadster has the desirable manual gearbox and rolls on chrome wire wheels. It is thought to have been converted from a Coupe body in the 1980s using, we presume, a new rear tub shell from one of the specialist suppliers.

No invoices exist for this work, but the quality of the conversion and of the parts used in the renovation all those years ago still shines through: even today, the Roadster is still collecting prizes at Concours events. Earlier this year it won the coveted Bugatti Owners Club 'Scuderia Prize' for non-Bugattis belonging to BOC members, and last year it collected the 'Best in Show' award at the Jaguar Enthusiasts' Club 'Isle of Man Tour'.

With only two previous keepers recorded, the vendor bought the Jaguar in 2014 for his wife to enjoy and immediately commenced improving the gear change by investing over £4,500 in a reconditioned gearbox and clutch work. The odometer shows just over 7,000 miles which is believed to be the distance covered since the conversion but there is insufficient paperwork to warrant this. Said to drive beautifully, the car has an MOT until June 2016.

It is always a treat to find a classic car that has been maintained so well that after all these years it is still capable of winning club concours awards. With top examples of factory V12 Roadsters making well over £80,000 at auction, this exceptionally well-presented example looks most appealing at the sensible guide price suggested.

1972 Jaguar E-Type V12

Lot 82 (Imperial War Museum Duxford, Wed, 8th Sep 2021)

Estimate £60,000 - £65,000

Registration No: BJA325K

Chassis No: 1S51021

MOT: July 2022

Current ownership since 2015

Subject to a gearbox overhaul in 2014

Offered with a collection of invoices and old MOT's

Converted from a coupe to a roadster in the early 1990s

This desirable manual transmission V12 is understood to have been restored and converted from a coupe in the early 1990s at which time the odometer was reset. Although no invoices are present for the conversion it was clearly carried out to a high standard and the car looks resplendent with its red coachwork, black interior, and chrome wire wheels. Indeed, it has since won numerous prizes including the Bugatti Owner’s Club ‘Scuderia Prize’ and ‘Best in Show’ at a Jaguar Enthusiasts Club Isle Of Man Tour. Whilst in the hands of previous owners it was treated to engine works by Chequered Flag in 2011 and a gearbox overhaul at a cost of £4500 in 2014. Acquired by the vendor in 2015, more recent attention has included the fitment of a new electronic distributor cap and rotor arm in July this year. Offered with a collection of invoices, old MoTs dating back to 1993, original operating manual and sales and service book. ‘BJA325K’ is, in our opinion, sensibly priced when compared to the values of restored original examples with the vendor currently rating the paintwork, bodywork and interior as “good” with “very good” engine plus transmission and is offered with an MOT certificate into July 2022.

It is understood that ‘BJA 325K’ will possess a fresh MOT certificate by the time of sale.

The father of jokes about warm beer and smoke escaping from wires is Joseph Lucas. Lucas died of typhoid after drinking infected water in Naples in 1902.
