• USA Import
• Features a 5.7 litre Chevy engine
• Jaguar Heritage Certificate included

Presenting in the attractive Tungsten blue metallic with a lovely rich red interior, this 1973 Jaguar E Type series 3 automatic was imported from Arizona, USA in 2014. Whilst in the USA the car was fitted with a 5.7 litre Chevy engine with a GM auto Gearbox. There is just one former keeper showing on the V5 since being in the UK, and its overall condition is described by the vendor as very good.

Included with the car, is a Jaguar Heritage Certificate, where the car was originally fitted with a V12 in the body style Two-plus-two coupe, left hand drive, in silver. The burbling V8 that was fitted to the vehicle during its life in America, gives good power and provides a very smooth drive. This is said to have been a proffessional installation that required no modifications to the bodywork and A frames.

In terms of condition, the paintwork remains good, with a couple of marks here an there, as well as all the chrome presenting well. The interior, unlike many similar conversions, is said to remain 100% as factory specification. The interior presents well with a good patina.

For the purists, you'll be happy to know that there is a Jaguar V12 engine that can be sent to the new owner at their costs. The previous owner obtained a correct Jaguar V12 engine and greabox complete with carburetors and all other ancillaries. The current owner had intentions of fitting the V12, however, having used the car with V8 power for a while, the intended conversion back to original spec never actually happened. Instead the V8 engine was fine tuned by AJC and GM box and torque convertor fully rebuilt by Alders Automtove. At the same time, the rear suspension was overhauled and the suspension was fully polybushed with new shocks and springs all round. What was acheived, was not only a car that is very usable and reliable, but one that is simply great fun to drive. No doubt there are those who undertsandably would wish to return the car to as built configuration and we've been told this should be relatively easy to do so.

Although this E Type is MOT exempt, it comes with a MOT valid until September 2026, where it shows as passing with no advisories, going some way to providing some peace of mind for the next custodian.

A collection of invoices accompanies the car, showcasing a lot of work that has been invested into the vehicle throughout the years. Also inlcuded is a collection of previous MOT certificates, some manuals, and the original USA spec Operating, maintenance and service handbook and wallet.
