Body Colour: Red
Trim Colour: Tan
MOT ExpiryDate: Oct 2011

Finished in red with tan leather upholstery, this particular example is described by the vendor as being in "good" condition with regard to its automatic transmission, electrical equipment, interior trim and paintwork. Rating the engine and bodywork as "very good", he adds: "Prior to my purchase in June 2007 the car was in storage for a considerable time, and since January 2008 a total of £13,000 has been spent, mainly on the engine and cooling system (invoices attached)". Used for three enjoyable London to Brighton classic car runs, the Jaguar boasts such niceties as a sunroof, Moto-lita wood-rimmed steering wheel, stainless steel exhaust, rear seat belts, bullet-style wing mirrors, chrome wire wheels and whitewall tyres. A regretful sale especially given the wealth of events it will be eligible for next years during the E-type's 50th Anniversary celebrations, the vendor concludes: "Although the Jaguar is my pride and joy, it is no longer suitable for my two fast-growing children".

Lot No 39
Make Jaguar E-Type V12 Coupe
Year 1973
Vehicle Registration UEC413M
Chassis Number 1S51878BW
Engine Number 7S12388SB
Body Colour Red
Trim Colour Biscuit
MOT Expiry May 2017
Estimate £34000 - 38000

- In long term storage prior to current ownership
- Over £13,000 spent since 2008 on engine, cooling system, etc.
- Regularly used on the London to Brighton Run

The vendor believes this sparkling Coupe languished in lengthy storage before his purchase in 2007 and its history is limited to the log book and MOT of the time. Since then he has lavished over £13,000 on the Jaguar, mainly to the benefit of its V12 engine and cooling system. He currently considers the 2+2 bodywork, paintwork, Biscuit-coloured leather interior trim, 5.3-litre engine and automatic transmission as all being in 'excellent' order. It has regularly completed the London to Brighton classic run, but his children have now outgrown the rear seats, so it's time to find a new keeper for the E-Type, that currently displays an unwarranted 89,238 miles. 'UEC 413M' is MOT'd to May 5 2017.
