Vehicle Details
AI Listing Summary
This 1971 Jaguar E-Type Series 3 Roadster, originally a 2+2 coupe, has been professionally converted to a roadster and extensively modified over ~35 years of ownership. Key upgrades include a 6.0L V12 engine by Rob Beere Racing, a 5-speed gearbox, and modern performance enhancements, all while retaining its iconic looks and selling for £36,500.
While the car presents well with a leather interior and good paint, it does have minor cosmetic imperfections like a small bonnet mark and arch bubbling, and its tires are over a decade old, indicating some level of reconditioning might be beneficial.

The interior leather seats show only very light creasing. The tires are dated 2009/2010, which is over 10 years old.
