If you know these cars in high-end original low mile condition, you know these are hot and hard to find…especially with these options and in super condition. This ‘73 looks great up close as well as 10 foot off! I consider it to be in #2 Condition.

This was in a Georgia Collection for 35 years and was purchased out of the Estate 2 years go. While under the collection, the car was repainted Black and was highly disassembled for a thorough and professional job. The interior was correctly converted to Tan (Biscuit) Leather which was originally French blue. The estate buyer took the car to a trusted British Restorer in South Carolina to freshen it car up and his services were completed about a year ago when a friend of mine found it… The S.C. British restorer ended up buying the car in the midst of his efforts on it with plans to sell when completed. My friend and current owner has owned several XKE Series 1, 2 & 3’s over the years and jumped on this car when he found it due to its overall condition and miles. The car still needed a few minor adjustments and repairs to really dial it in which falls under his passion and has been thoroughly completed. He has decided to let a few different cars in his collection go and asked me to assist. This Jaguar is fine-tuned, freshened completely up is an absolute BLAST to drive… it has also proved to offer a pretty High level of reliability and is a “drive it anywhere” option if desired. So now with motivation to sell, he has priced it aggressively and accordingly.

The car is a pleasure to drive… driving down the road with the top down and with the sound of the exhaust can only freeze smiles on faces. What else can I say, It all works including but not limited to lights, dash cluster, courtesy and signal / brake lights, speedometer, tachometer, horn, wipers, gauges and heater / defroster, Cold Air-Conditioning, Choke, etc…. This is the Real Deal! The Front Bumpers have been converted to the Series Two style which looks much better however the original Series Three bumpers are boxed up and come with the car as well.

Is this car perfect…no and none of them are! It is a well preserved 43k mile Survivor that has had one professional re-paint. That is really it… It has not been blown apart with every nut & bolt reassembled but I prefer them this way for they are only original once! You might find a small imperfection here or there but they came that way from the factory. The original radio is there but is not currently working. You would be extremely proud to roll up with this Roadster at any event regardless of competition level and fit in with confidence. I am assisting my friend with selling this car because he is not the best with computers… His cars and mine are just a hobby and has simply allowed me to experience and enjoy many different ones over the years…he is clearing out space in his shop to create room and a lesser load of responsibility!

Note: My friend is located in Daytona Florida and has the car and Title… it will need to be picked up from there and can be viewed there most any time in person. I will assist both the buyer and the seller all the way through the questions and transaction.

This 1973 Jaguar E-Type is a Series III roadster that was built on November 17, 1972 and was initially delivered to New York. The car is said to have spent approximately 35 years in a collection in Georgia before being acquired by the seller in 2020. Finished in black over a beige interior, the car is powered by a numbers-matching 5.3-liter V12 paired with a three-speed automatic transmission. Features include a beige soft top, power steering, leather seats, and disc brakes. A refurbishment conducted under prior ownership included repaint and a reupholstered interior, and recent work is said to have included a recharged air conditioning system, carburetor servicing, a tune-up, and a replacement alternator, a stainless steel exhaust system, and 15″ knockoff wire wheels mounted with replacement redline tires. This Series III E-Type roadster is now offered with a Jaguar Heritage Trust certificate, service records from current ownership, and a clean Tennessee title in the seller’s name.

Finished from the factory in Azure Blue, the body was reportedly disassembled repainted in black under prior ownership. Exterior features include a beige soft top, a driver-side mirror, hood louvers, and chrome bumpers with European-style overriders. The removed US-spec rubber overriders will accompany the car.

The chrome 15″ knockoff wire wheels and 205/70 redline tires were reportedly installed under current ownership. Braking is provided by four-wheel discs with inboard-mounted rear rotors, and the car is equipped with power steering and Koni shocks up front.

Previously upholstered in French Blue, the bucket seats were recovered in beige leather during the refurbishment work under prior ownership, and matching upholstery extends to the armrest and door panels. The radio is not functional, and the air conditioning was recently charged according to the seller.

The three-spoke steering wheel frames Smiths instrumentation including a 160-mph speedometer and a tachometer with a 6,500-rpm redline. The five-digit odometer shows 43k miles, about 500 of which were added under current ownership. Total mileage is unknown.

The 5.3-liter V12 features four Zenith-Stromberg carburetors. Service performed under current ownership is said to have included carburetor synchronization, an ignition tune-up, and the installation of a replacement alternator and a stainless steel exhaust system.

Engine stamping “7S8694LB” matches the number listed on chassis identification plate and the Jaguar Heritage Trust certificate.

Power is sent to the rear wheels through a three-speed automatic transmission.

The Jaguar Heritage Trust certificate lists factory colors along with a build date of November 17, 1972.
