Description You are looking at an original survivor 1973 Jaguar E-Type XKE V12 Series III Roadster with 41,504 original miles. It has had what we believe to be two owners and has been extremely well taken care of. Below is a video collection of the automobile: Please scroll down and enjoy the 350+ photos. If you cannot view all the photos, please click here. This was owned by the current owner since 1985 in the Chicago, IL area. This was her husband's car who passed away. She is now located in Northern WI and has consigned the automobile with The Sell It Now Store. As stated above, this vehicle is in outstanding original condition down to the mirrors and floor mats. Aside from the factory radio being saved but replaced with an Alpine 7165 radio, it is all original. No alterations were made to accommodate the radio. We believe the mileage to be original. This vehicle is a US market car which met USA EPA standards and was purchased new by a British gentleman who stored the car as part of a collection and rarely used it. The current owner's deceased spouse imported it from England to the USA and loved this car until his death a few years ago. It is a factory US spec left hand drive car. Mechanically, the radiator was re-cored in 1985 along with a thermostat, hoses and a new steering rack direct from Jaguar. It has 1986 Michelin tubed redline tires and they are outstanding today. However, we know they are also going on 30 years old. The brakes and rear calipers were also done in 1986 and still work great. Currently, the car has had a recent tune up and the original carbs were rebuilt. The factory air will need a recharge. Cosmetically, it is hard to tell if the interior is just that nice or if the carpets were replaced at some point. The current owner has not replaced anything in the interior. We are unsure but believe this may be the original paint. The seats do show some wear on the upper side from the convertible top as shown. However, it is minor and could easily be reconditioned by an expert. Also note that all the exterior panels appear to be original and we could not detect any accidents. The car runs and drives extremely well for the age. We were impressed with the outstanding cosmetic and mechanical condition, as well as the rust free nature of this car. This may be one of the nicest unmolested originals on the planet and the condition is as nice in person as it is in the photos. Jaguar E-Type Roadsters are truly an international icon. Additional auction information: This vehicle is sold as-is. We cannot warranty any parts and as with any vintage vehicle, they are always a project in some way. Please note this before bidding if you are looking for a vehicle that will operate like a new vehicle. Collector cars are many times tempermental and reliability can be a factor on some. We also did not test each accessory or feature, and only drove the vehicle for a short distance. Any of these should be trailered to their destination until the vehicle is checked over for safety (tires, etc). The title is free and clear, and we are also requiring a bill of sale be signed by the new owner stating this car is being purchased as-is. It is a very straight original car as you can see in the photos. It gets a ton of attention and would make a great addition to your Jaguar or classic car collection.
