United Kingdom • 25 Jul 2026 • Lot 307

Vehicle Details

AI Listing Summary

This 1973 Jaguar E-Type Series 3 V12 Roadster, in Pale Primrose with a manual transmission, has a rich history including a full restoration by XK Engineering and 25 years of family ownership. Although it has been stored for 15 years and requires some light mechanical attention, it comes with extensive documentation and prizes from its active past.

Powered by the iconic 5.3-litre V12 engine, this E-Type represents a refined and muscular evolution of the model, originally delivered in Greensand over Olive but repainted to its current Primrose Yellow decades ago. It is being offered with the understanding that some recommissioning work, particularly on the brakes, is still needed after its period of storage.

Effortless performance is paired with turbine-smooth delivery, making the V12 E-Type a grand tourer of genuine stature.

In the mid-eighties, a Bristol builder named Graham Packer purchased the Jaguar which, we understand, was off the road at the time, and started preparing it for concours events with the culmination of his efforts being a Class Win at the 1986 Benson & Hedges National Concours at Cherry Hinton Hal...
