Jaguar E-Type 1972 Occasion

This well-travelled E-Type has lived on both sides of the Pond – twice, it would appear and is clearly an older restoration but still displaying an honest level of quality. Jaguar Daimler Heritage Trust have confirmed that our Series 3 2+2 5.3 example was originally shipped to Florida in 1972 where it has spent the vast majority of its life. Interestingly, it finds its way to Basel in Switzerland between 1990 and 1993 with insurance and emission documents in the cars file confirming this European period. At some stage, it moves back to Florida before being sold by Rosner Motorsport Incorporated to Bonhams Auction House in March 2019 before heading back to Europe in Denmark. It’s then purchased in 2020 by a German collector and customer of Cathedral Classics who subsequently completed a full Historical status German registration. Now back on the market again it awaits a new home and will not disappoint any potential new custodian.
Jaguar Daimler Heritage Trust have confirmed that we have a Matching Numbers car with the following numbers: Chassis 1S 732288 W – Engine number 7S 6788 SA – Body number 4S 54499 – Gearbox number 11475 The odometer indicates 2284 miles which is clearly a very realistic 102,284 miles from a very tidy engine bay. Once warm, it’s a strong, responsive and smooth gear change from a well-documented powerhouse that, when running well, is frankly incomparable. Oil pressure is strong both when the power is down and at tick-over. There is no record, but the independent rear suspension has clearly been recently overhauled, along with an oil change some 400 kilometers ago. All brake fluids were changed at the same time. In addition, the previous owner has fitted a high performance radiator and a new water pump.
