This 1973 Jaguar E-Type Series III roadster was first delivered to Falvey Imported Cars of Ferndale, Michigan, and is powered by a 5.3-liter V12 linked with a four-speed manual transmission and a limited-slip differential. The car is finished in green over black leather, and features include a black soft top, a top boot, four-wheel disc brakes, power steering, 15” knock-off wire wheels, quadruple carburetors, a leather-wrapped steering wheel, an AM/FM radio, and a heater. The car was refinished under previous ownership, and the current owner purchased it in 2016. This Series III E-Type is now offered with a British Motor Industry Heritage Trust certificate, a factory invoice copy, the owner’s manual, a spare tire and jack, service records, and a clean Minnesota title in the current owner’s name.

The car left the factory in British Racing Green and was refinished under previous ownership. Features include a black soft top, a matching top boot, uncovered headlights, a forward-hinged louvered hood, RoW-spec bumpers, and a power antenna.

The 15″ wire-spoke wheels are secured with knock-off spinners and are mounted with a mixed set of 215/70 Pirelli tires. The Series III E-Type was factory equipped with power steering, and stopping power is provided by four-wheel disc brakes with inboard-mounted rear rotors.

The cabin features seating surfaces upholstered in black leather as well as color-coordinated door panels. The seat foam was replaced in 2014. Interior amenities include an AM/FM radio, wind-up windows, a locking glovebox, and a heater.

The leather-wrapped steering wheel frames Smiths instrumentation including a 160-mph speedometer and a tachometer with a 6,500-rpm redline. An analog clock along with auxiliary gauges for voltage, coolant temperature, oil pressure, and fuel level are mounted in the center stack. The five-digit odometer shows 75k miles.

The 5.3-liter V12 was factory equipped with quadruple Zenith-Stromberg carburetors and was rated at 241 horsepower and 285 lb-ft of torque when new.

Power is sent to the rear wheels through a four-speed manual transmission and a limited-slip differential.

A copy of the car’s factory invoice identifies equipment, options, and a retail price of $8,948.90.

The Jaguar Heritage Production Record Trace Certificate identifies dispatch date, colors, and chassis, body, and engine numbers.

A spare 15″ wire-spoke wheel secured with knock-off spinner is included in the sale, as is a jack and related tools along with an owner’s manual.

Photos showing the repaint under prior ownership are included in the sale, as are records and spare parts.
