A really beautiful driver quality Series 3 V-12, 5.3 liter. Runs great, very strong (this original year Series 3 has the higher power 317 hp engine). Excellent freeway tourer, does not overheat even on hot days. Looks Fabulous! Transmission, brakes, lights, electrical all work as they should. Original radio. No receipts or documentation except Catalog from RM Auctions 2008 Monterey, lot 405 which states: "An original California car the Jaguar was placed in dry storage in the early 1970s and was returned to service in the early 2000s, at which time it was repainted in its original color of Primrose yellow and thoroughly recommissioned. The interior features its original tan leather upholstery as well as a newer headliner, and the air conditioning system was overhauled, including a new compressor and conversion to modern refrigerant. In addition the muffler and resonator were replaced, as well as the fuel pump and the carburetors were rebuilt." I bought this car at RM Auctions in Monterey in 2008, changed all fluids, rebuilt carbs, and replaced fuel pump and tires. It now needs nothing except someone who will drive it more than I do. This car has always been well cared for and is an excellent original example of the rare V-12 coupe.
