1974 Jaguar TYPE E V12 Roadster

French registration title No MOT The latest iteration of the legendary E-Type: the engine has been upgraded, this time to a 5.3-litre aluminium V12 developing 272 hp... The lines have also been revised to make them longer and to meet the demands of such a power unit The car is fitted with the desirable manual gearbox and has been in a major French collection for 19 years, having arrived on French soil in 1998. Cosmetic condition revealing an old restoration of fairly good quality, in need of attention in certain areas, notably the upholstery finish and the rocker panels, which show some traces of surface corrosion (particularly on the rear wheel arches, which appear to have been reworked before arriving with the current owner); soft top in good overall condition As this car has seen very little use in recent years, the mechanics require an extensive general overhaul, including a complete overhaul of the engine and running gear. However, the car is functional and the stainless steel exhaust system was replaced in 2020, the year in which it underwent its last general overhaul A great opportunity for an enthusiast looking for a hair-raising drive in a Type E V12 on a – very – reasonable budget!
