Last of the line, the Jaguar E-type Series III was introduced in 1971.
Longer, wider and more comfortable than its predecessors, the newcomer blurred the lines between sportscar and grand tourer.
Powered by a turbine-smooth all-alloy SOHC 5343cc V12 engine allied to either Jaguar four-speed manual or Borg Warner three-speed automatic transmission, the refined manner in which it performed (contemporary road tests spoke of 0-60mph in 6.4 seconds and 150mph) simply blew road testers away.
Benefiting from a broader track, ventilated disc brakes, power-assisted rack and pinion steering and Lucas transistorised ignition, the Series III was visually distinguished by its 'egg-crate' grille, flared wheel arches and purposeful quad-exhaust pipes.
Available in fixed-head coupe (2+2-seater) or roadster (2-seater) guises...
