This 1974 Jaguar E-Type Series III roadster was recently imported to the US by the selling dealer following registration history with the previous owner in Canada since 1988. Refurbishment work completed in 1995 consisted of body repairs before the car was refinished in Regency Red and rebuilds of the 5.3-liter V12 and four-speed manual transmission. In 2019, servicing included replacing the battery, alternator, radiator hoses, valve cover gaskets, and fuel pump and tank, and installing a stainless-steel exhaust system, while the quad carburetors were rebuilt in preperation for the sale. It features 15” wire wheels, four-wheel disc brakes, power steering, a black soft top, and a black leather interior. This Series III E-Type is now offered by the selling dealer, a BaT Local Partner, with service records and a Washington State title.

The car was refinished in Regency Red in 1995 following rust remediation that included replacing the floor pans and rear frame boxes and repairing the rocker panels. The black soft top is torn.

The 15″ wire-spoke wheels are fitted with faux knock-off spinners and are mounted with Michelin Xz4 tires. The Series III E-Type was factory-equipped with power steering, and stopping power is provided by four-wheel disc brakes with inboard-mounted rear rotors. In May 2019, the brake booster and master cylinder were replaced. The selling dealer notes corrosion on the wheels.

The cabin features seating surfaces upholstered in Black leather as well as a push-button AM-FM stereo. The air conditioning does not work.

The three-spoke steering wheel frames Smiths instrumentation including a 160-mph speedometer and a tachometer with a 6,500-rpm redline. An analog clock along with auxiliary gauges for voltage, coolant temperature, oil pressure, and fuel level are mounted in the center stack. The five-digit odometer shows 80k miles, approximately 5k of which were added under current ownership.

The 5.3-liter V12 was factory-equipped with quad Zenith-Stromberg carburetors and was rated at 241 net horsepower and 285 lb-ft of torque when new. An engine rebuild in 1990 included honing the block, resurfacing the cylinder heads, and replacing the valves, main bearings, piston rings, and timing chain. The battery, alternator, radiator hoses, valve cover gaskets, and fuel pump and tank were replaced in 2019, at which point a Bell stainless-steel exhaust system was installed, and in preperation for the sale, the carburetors were rebuilt, and the ignition system and thermostat were replaced.

Power is sent to the rear wheels through a four-speed manual transmission that was rebuilt in 1990 along with a limited-slip differential.

The Washington State title notes “Exempt” under the Odometer Status heading.
