This 1973 Jaguar XKE is a Series III 2+2 coupe is powered by a 5.3-liter V12 paired with a three-speed automatic transmission. The car was acquired 12 years ago by the seller in Victoria, British Columbia after reportedly being found in the Arizona desert by a previous owner. Finished in silver over blue leather, it features chrome wire wheels as well as four Stromberg carburetors and received engine bay freshening over the winter of 2016-2017. This E-Type is offered with partial service records and British Columbia registration in the seller’s name.

The car is finished in silver and retains 1973 US-market items including front bumper overriders. Detailed photos show the condition of the paint and body, and the seller notes the presence of a dent on the driver’s door visible up close from the side along with scrapes above the left-side rear wheel. The license plate lights are reported to be inoperative, while the reverse lights are said to work intermittently.

Chrome-plated 15″ wire wheels with earless knock-off nuts are mounted with Hankook Mileage Plus whitewall tires. A matching spare wheel with an older tire is located under the floor of the upholstered cargo area, which is accessed via a side-hinged rear hatch. The seller notes that areas of the trunk appear to have been painted blue at some point.

The 2+2 interior is trimmed in blue leather with matching carpets and shoulder belts featuring Jaguar logos. A leather-wrapped steering wheel fronts Smiths gauges including a 160-mph speedometer, a tachometer, and a five-digit odometer which shows approximately 50k miles. An older cassette radio is fitted. Two dashboard lights are said not to work.

The 5.3-liter V12 was factory-rated at 264 horsepower and drives the rear wheels through a three-speed automatic transmission. The engine was removed during the winter of 2016-2017 for repainting of the engine bay as well as exhaust, cooling, and electrical work. The seller reports that the electric cooling fans have been modified with an override direct power switch for use in the event of a thermal switch or relay malfunction.

This is one gorgeous Jaguar E-Type with reportedly fewer than 50,000 miles on it! Made in February 1973 in Coventry, England, the previous owner of this beautiful cat acquired it in British Columbia, Canada after a previous owner reportedly found it in an Arizona desert in 2007. HE has lovingly cared for this Jag for the past 12 years and did an engine out refurbishment.

Its combination of beauty, high performance, and competitive pricing established the E-Type as an icon of the motoring world. The car's claimed 150 mph top speed, sub-seven-second 0 to 60 mph acceleration, monocoque construction, disc brakes, rack-and-pinion steering and independent front and rear suspension distinguished the car and spurred industry-wide changes.

Dressed in Silver Gray, the car’s paint and trim are in overall excellent order with minor blemishes. The car’s windows, including the rear window with a defroster grid, and lights are in very good order while the body is solid and straight; the engine bay extremely tidy, the battery looks good, the cargo area is in very good condition. The car’s chrome bumpers, complete with front overriders, are also in very good condition.

The car’s engine was removed during the winter of 2016-2017 to allow engine bay repainting plus cooling, electrical and exhaust system work. The electric cooling fans have been modified to include an override direct power switch in case a thermal switch or relay goes bad.

This car rides on Hankook Mileage Plus whitewall radials, size 205/70R15 at every corner. Each tire is mounted to a wire wheel with earless knockoff nuts. The tires have good tread depth and are in very good order, as are the wheels. There is a matching spare tire and wire wheel under the upholstered cargo floor.

Under the huge, front-hinged hood is Jaguar’s famous 5.3L V-12 engine with four side draft Zenith-Stromberg carburetors and breathing through quad tail pipes. The engine bay and front suspension are very accessible in this arrangement. The 5.3-liter version had an oversquare bore x stroke 3.54 in × 2.76 in. Right from the start of production in 1971, the V-12 engine had Lucas OPUS electronic ignition. Backing this motor is a Borg-Warner M12 three-speed automatic transmission and a 3.54:1 rear end.

Driver convenience features include air-conditioning, power rack-and-pinion steering, power four-wheel disc brakes and independent front and rear suspension. Inside, the car is done in rich French Blue with black trim. The Connolly leather seats are in overall good condition, with some blemishes visible in the rear seat. The complimenting Wilton Wool carpeting looks great. The neutral headliner is in good, original order while the black, three-spoke steering wheel, which is trimmed in leather and shows in good, original order. The black, padded instrument panel contains Smiths gauges and is in very good shape. The center console and console-mounted shift lever are in satisfactory order. A Kraco AM/FM stereo with cassette deck is forward of the shifter.

For the third series, the short wheelbase FHC body style was discontinued, leaving a convertible and 2+2 coupé. The newly used longer wheelbase now offered significantly more room in all directions. The Series III is easily identifiable by the large cross-slatted front grille, flared wheel arches, wider tires, four exhaust tips and a badge on the rear that proclaims it to be a V-12. Cars for the US market were fitted with large projecting rubber bumper over-riders (in 1973 these were on front) to meet local five mph impact regulations but those on European models were considerably smaller. US models also have side indicator repeats on the front wings.

Documentation includes a copy of Jaguar World E-Type Restoration Guide Series I and II, Jaguar E-Type Series III repair operations manual, many color photos, a thumb drive of related file and partial service records. Competition to this Jaguar 2+2 in 1973 included AMC’s Javelin, Chevrolet’s Camaro, Dodge’s Challenger, Ford’s Mustang, Mercury’s Cougar, Nissan’s 260Z 2+2, Plymouth’s Barracuda, Pontiac’s Firebird and Porsche’s 911.
