1974 Jaguar E-Type V12 Roadster

Sold for £81,000

(including buyers premium)


Lot details
Registration No: 18 VT
Chassis No: 1S2590BW

- 49,000 warranted miles from new, every Mot certificate since its first in 1977

- One owner from 1976 until 2010, 3 keepers in total

- Includes number plate 18VT which has been with the car since at least 1976

From birth the E-Type was available as a Fixedhead Coupe or two-seat Roadster. For 1966, a 2+2 version of the Coupe was added to the range that was 9in longer and featured a more vertical windscreen. The Series 3 cars were introduced in 1971, all but a handful of which were fitted with Jaguar's new 5.3-litre V12 engine. The original (short) wheelbase was discontinued and the revised car offered only as Roadster (now based on the longer 2+2 floorpan) or 2+2 Coupe. Production of the Series 3 model continued until 1975, when the range was superseded by the XJS; by which time some 15,000 V12-engined examples had been produced - most of which were exported to North America. Series 3 E-Types are readily identified from their predecessors by the large cross-slatted radiator grille, flared wheel arches, wider track and V12 badge on the rear.

This most eye-catching of home market Series 3 E-Types is finished in the strident combination of Primrose Yellow bodywork and Black leather upholstery. It was supplied new by Lathams of Loughborough on March 18, 1974 and has had just three keepers to date; the second one of whom, a Group Captain, retained the car from 1976 to 2010. It is accompanied by every MOT ever issued, which fully endorse the low indicated mileage of 49,000. It also comes with the distinctive registration '18 VT', which has adorned the Jaguar since at least 1976. Other inclusions are a full set of weather equipment and hood cover; the car's original book pack and wallet; Heritage Certificate; bill for £5,195 relating to the Group Captain's purchase; pair of keys; wheel tools and tool roll. The vendor of this decidedly handsome Roadster currently grades the bodywork, paintwork, interior trim, automatic transmission and V12 engine as all being in 'very good' condition.
