The Jaguar E-Type Series III Roadster is a classic British sportscar known for its elegance and performance. Produced during the final years of E-Type production, the 1974 model featured a powerful 5.3 litre V12 engine, delivering smooth acceleration and refined cruising ability. Its long bonnet, chrome details, and distinctive oval grille gave it timeless style. The Series III Roadster combined luxury with speed, making it one of the most desirable classic Jaguars among collectors today.

This 1974 E-Type Series III Roadster is presented in stunning Bordeaux Red Pearl paintwork with a contrasting biscuit leather trim. A left hand drive manual gearbox, matching numbers example, this combines all that is right with the later E-Type. Fusing that fabulous V12 powertrain to a beautifully restored body, and importantly a manual gearbox, the final restoration work was completed in 2019 by a Jaguar specialist restorer and we are informed the engine now runs beautifully. On the interior under the mohair hood, is a Bluetooth stereo complementing the cabin with a touch of modernity. It is supplied with V5 registration document and Jaguar Heritage Certificate. Believed to have covered only 54,961 miles (not warranted) since it left Browns Lane some 52 years ago. We think this Jaguar E-Type Series III V12 is one of the best we have offered and would certainly grace any serious collection. Consigned by Dominic Lake
