Matching Numbers | Restored | Heritage Certified | RHD

Offered for sale is a highly desirable 1971 Jaguar E-Type Series 3 V12 2+2, presented in its original and elegant factory colour combination of Pale Primrose Yellow with Black interior trim.

 Manufactured on 17 December 1971 and first dispatched in January 1972 via J.R.J. Mansbridge of Lincoln, this right-hand-drive example retains its matching-numbers 5.3-litre V12 engine. It is accompanied by a Jaguar Daimler Heritage Trust Production Record Trace Certificate, confirming its original specification and provenance.

 A Landmark V12 E-Type – The Ultimate Grand Tourer

 The Series 3 E-Type represents the final and most refined evolution of Jaguar’s iconic sports car. Combining Malcolm Sayer’s timeless design with the effortless performance of the legendary 5.3-litre V12 engine, it delivers a uniquely smooth and powerful driving experience.

 Producing approximately 272 bhp and 304 lb-ft of torque, the V12 transforms the E-Type into a true grand tourer, capable of 0–60 mph in around 6.5–7.0 seconds and a top speed exceeding 140 mph. More importantly, it offers silky, near-silent power delivery, making it ideal for long-distance, high-speed touring.

 Practicality Meets Iconic Design – The 2+2 Advantage

 The 2+2 configuration enhances usability without compromising the E-Type’s unmistakable presence. A longer wheelbase provides:

  • Increased cabin space

  • Occasional rear seating

  • Improved luggage capacity

  • Wider-opening rear tailgate

 These features make the Series 3 particularly well suited to continental touring and classic driving events.

 Further refinements include a wider track, flared wheel arches, larger front grille for improved cooling, and a more comfortable, ventilated interior—making it widely regarded as the most usable E-Type variant.

 Restoration, Mechanical Upgrades & Condition

 This example has benefited from extensive restoration work, completed to a high standard and supported by comprehensive invoices and photographic documentation.

Key highlights include:

 Full engine rebuild in 2021, ensuring strong performance and reliability

  • Upgraded ignition system, improving drivability and ease of use

  • Carefully maintained and well-sorted throughout

 The result is a classic Jaguar that successfully blends originality with sensible mechanical enhancements, making it equally suitable for regular use or show presentation.

 Provenance & Collectability

  • Original factory colour scheme (Pale Primrose Yellow / Black)

 These attributes combine to make this car a highly collectible and investment-grade E-Type.
