Vehicle Description

A true classic, this 1971 Jaguar E-Type Series III 2+2 is a timeless masterpiece that embodies the perfect fusion of British elegance and raw V12 power.

Originally purchased in Florida, this Jaguar later made its way to Germany, where it remained until 1988. The previous owner acquired it and eventually exported it to Canada in 1998, driving it for only about six weeks each year before storing it in a basement parking garage in Victoria, British Columbia.

Performance

Under the hood sits a 5.3-liter V12, originally equipped with quadruple Zenith-Stromberg carburetors, delivering a thrilling driving experience.

  • Power is sent to the rear wheels via a three-speed automatic transmission & limited-slip differential.
  • The exhaust system exhibits signs of rust.

History & Documentation

  • The chassis and engine numbers match those of a 1971 Jaguar E-Type Series III.
  • However, British Columbia registration lists the model year as 1969.
