By 1971, Jaguar's jaw-dropping E-Type had been in production for a decade. Despite continual improvements, new emissions legislation in the all-important American market threatened to strangle the big cat's performance. Jaguar responded by giving its revered sports car fresh claws in the shape of a 5343cc V12 developed from the stillborn XJ13 Le Mans project car. The new engine was both effortlessly powerful and eerily refined. With some 272bhp and 304lbft of torque on tap, the Series 3 E-Type once again had 150mph in its sights. A revised wheelbase yielded better cabin space, while a wider track front and rear, new anti-dive front suspension geometry and fatter tyres improved the road holding. Imbued with a more muscular stance thanks to its flared wheel-arches, re-profiled wings and larger grille, it also benefited from vented disc brakes and a restyled interior.

This home-market, right-hand-drive example was manufactured in 1971. Fitted with the 5343cc V12 engine mated to the desirable manual gearbox. In current ownership since 2018, with four former keepers showing on HPI. Having covered only 35,126 miles from new (at time of consignment), the E-Type is offered with a history file that contains over 25 MOT certificates, numerous invoices, several tax discs, original handbook and current V5C. Subject to a new alternator, shock absorbers and brakes in 2018.
