1972 JAGUAR E TYPE SERIES 3 ROADSTER 5.3 - MANUAL - LHD - 60,570 MILES SHOWING
Presenting in British Racing Green with Cinnamon coloured interior trim.
This is a matching numbers vehicle.
We hold a copy of the Jaguar Heritage Production Certificate # 41112.
Also held is the Australian Federal Government Vehicle Import Approval # 153744/1 and dated the 31st of March 2016.
The current South Australia owner searched long and hard both in the US and Australia for a very sound example and finally found this unmolested manual one for sale in Los Angeles in late 2014. After having the vehicle inspected, he had it shipped to Adelaide.
The '72 year model is the Holy Grail of US " Federal Specification" cars as they incorporate several improvements over the '71 release vehicles while retaining the high compression engines and not wearing the later Nordel type Enersorb rubber crash bumpers.
The vehicle had a "closed door" respray in the mid 80's and has had a couple of minor touch ups since, but has not been pulled apart or gutted to be restored.
The "Federal Specification" cars have the extra bonus that they were factory fitted with the following:-
* Sundym tinted glass
* Integrated air conditioning
* AM/FM push button radio
* Remote adjustable exterior mirror
* Front number plate bracket
* Sportier differential ratio of 3.54 : 1 as opposed to 3.31 :1
Powered by a 5.3 Litre V12 engine, it produced when new 203Kw and 473Nm of power and torque, delivered to the rear wheels via a 4 speed manual gearbox. Performance figures suggest 0-100kph in just over 6.0 secs and a top speed near 240kph.
Since coming to South Australian ownership, the car has received quite a bit of attention including:-
* All perishable engine and drivetrain items replaced
* New interior leather seat trims, carpets, door cards, etc
* All brakes refurbished
* A factory reproduction stainless steel Bell twin exhaust fitted
* Radiator replaced
* Water pump bearing and seal replaced
* Front & rear suspension refurbished
* Clutch replaced and at the same time, the timing chain and tensioner replaced
All of the above work is covered by a large folder of invoices for the work completed
The car gets driven mostly on fine days with the roof off, however it sports a black soft top and also a beige tonneau cover, both in good order.
Manual versions of the Series 3 E Type were made in very small numbers and of course the bulk of sales were designed for the US market in auto format. This would be just a delight to drive out on the open road, classic wind in the hair motoring at it's best.
Currently Historically registered in South Australia, this is not transferable, however the car would be eligible for similar schemes in other jurisdictions, which equates to minimal on road costs.
Available to inspect on our state of the art showroom floor in Adelaide.
We can arrange transport door to door Australia wide, or take some time to just drive it home.

We welcome the opportunity to consider your trade in.
