This exceptional 1973 Jaguar E-Type Series III Roadster is one of the finest examples available today, having been in single-family ownership since 2005. Originally supplied by Mamos Queensbury in Middlesex, the car was so highly valued that it was exported to Australia in 2007 and then brought back to the UK in 2016. With fewer than 31,000 miles on the odometer—likely the genuine mileage—it remains in superb condition and has been regularly serviced by Powerbell Services since returning to the UK, requiring only routine maintenance throughout its life.
The Jaguar E-Type Series III, introduced in 1971, was a major update to the iconic model. With the addition of the 5.3-litre V12 engine, producing 272bhp and offering increased torque, the Series III delivered an impressive 0-60mph time of under seven seconds. This extraordinary performance was groundbreaking for the time, especially given the car’s price in comparison to its competitors. The Series III also featured power steering, uprated brakes, and a longer wheelbase that provided additional space and improved ride comfort. Its wider tyres, flared wheel arches, and the distinctive cross-slatted grille make it easily identifiable as a V12 model. With only 7,990 Series III roadsters produced, this car is a rare and highly sought-after collector’s item.
This particular example retains its original engine and factory specification, confirmed by the Jaguar Daimler Heritage Trust Certificate. The car is finished in its original white coachwork, complemented by a black interior and the desirable automatic gearbox. The interior remains in pristine condition, while the exterior, with its original paint, is in excellent shape. The chromework gleams, and the hood fits tightly, further enhancing the car’s elegant appearance.
This Series III E-Type is a fantastic opportunity for any classic car enthusiast looking for a reliable, long-legged cruiser that combines beauty, performance, and pedigree. With its low mileage, single-family ownership, and preservation of all original specifications, this car is an outstanding example of Jaguar’s legendary sports car. Ready to be enjoyed, this Roadster is the perfect addition to any collection and promises years of driving pleasure. Whether you seek the thrill of the open road or simply desire a piece of automotive history, this E-Type is an opportunity not to be missed.
