First registered on 18th September 1973, this late Series 3 Jaguar E-Type Series 3 2+2 Fixed Head Coupe is a desirable UK-supplied, matching numbers example finished in its distinctive and rarely seen original colour combination of Heather with Cerise leather interior.
Notably, this is believed to be the only Fixed Head Coupe listed on the XKE register in this particular specification, making it a particularly individual and collectable example of Jaguar’s iconic grand tourer.
Powered by the legendary 5.3-litre V12 engine and paired with a manual gearbox, the Series 3 E-Type offers effortless performance combined with refined long-distance capability.
The 2+2 configuration provides additional practicality over the two-seater, while retaining the unmistakable styling that made the E-Type one of the most celebrated cars of its era.
This example has had 11 former keepers, with the current owner having enjoyed the car since 2008, suggesting a period of long-term, enthusiastic ownership...
