Jaguar E-Type Roadster V12 Series 3 – Fully Body-Off Restored, Only 2,000 Miles Since Restoration

For the true enthusiast, we offer an exceptionally beautiful and technically advanced Jaguar E-Type Roadster V12 Series 3. This iconic British roadster has not simply been refurbished, but has been completely body-off restored, with respect for the original design and a keen eye for quality, reliability, and detail. The result is a car that is visually in concours condition and mechanically in virtually new condition.

Since the completion of the restoration, the car has only driven 2,000 miles, so everything is fresh, tight, and perfectly broken in. This is not a car that needs further development—it drives exactly as an E-Type should, but with the refinement of modern technology.

Technology – Top-of-the-line V12

The powerful V12 engine has been completely overhauled and built to high standards. During this overhaul, the decision was made not only to make the engine brand new, but also to incorporate technical improvements that significantly increase reliability and performance:

New throttle bodies

Halltec ECU for electronic injection – modern and extremely precise fuel management

Improved cold starting, smoother idling, and noticeably more powerful mid-range

Better fuel economy and higher operational reliability than the original carburetors

The result is an E-Type that starts and runs as you would expect from a modern sports car, but with the character and appearance of a classic.

Bodywork & Restoration

The restoration was carried out with meticulous attention to detail, with the bodywork being completely disassembled, stripped, and replaced where necessary. The bodywork was completely blasted, and all loose parts were powder-coated. Everything was then rebuilt using high-quality materials, new rubber seals, reconditioned or replaced components, and excellent paintwork.

All nuts and bolts were galvanized and passivated. The fit of the panels, the finish of the interior, and the presentation of the engine compartment speak for themselves: this is a car built with care, expertise, and passion.

The interior was designed by the owner himself and made by a highly professional upholstery company, as well as the matching carpet set for both the front and the trunk – a very luxurious diamond pattern with a Jaguar logo in the headrests. Retractable seatbelts were also custom-made with the Jaguar logo on the mountings.

16-inch wire wheels with new tires all around and the spare wheel.

In short, the interior, as well as the convertible top and tonneau, exude a perfection and luxury that completes the whole experience.

Driving Experience

Driving this E-Type is an experience. The V12 runs smoothly and delivers power effortlessly. Thanks to the modern fuel injection system, the throttle response is direct and linear, without the hesitation typical of conventional systems. The car feels taut, solid, and perfectly balanced—no rattles, no uncertainties. With the roof down, the sound of the V12, and the timeless design, this is one of the most elegant open-top sports cars ever built.
