Inside The Showroom - Fully restored E-Type UK Series 3 V12

E-Type UK Director, Marcus Holland, walks you around our latest arrival in our Kent-based showroom.
Featured this week in the showroom is this 1971 Jaguar E-type Series 3 V12 roadster. Fully restored in 2018 by E-Type UK, finished in Opalescent Gunmetal with an Oxblood Red interior and now fitted with a body-coloured hardtop.
Alongside updating the aesthetic, attention was equally focused on the mechanicals fitting a range up upgrades which include fuel Injection, stainless steel exhaust, upgraded brakes, upgraded cooling, bespoke wheels and tyres. This was paired with the original and fully rebuilt 5.3L V12 and an uprated 5-speed gearbox, the E-Type UK team had created a truly great Grand Tourer.

The way it and maybe all E-Types should be restored and updated. Absolutely love it!!

Great style

[@parttimetourist]

One of the best cars ever created it was way ahead of its time and still is a stunning sight today. Sophisticated engineering on wheels

[@m.f.3371]

I saw it first in 1975 and fell immediately in love with this most beautiful car ever. Since then I am thinking of it. Each time I see any type of Lamborghini I know those cars will never ever reach the class of an E-Type. If all goes good I will be able to order one in 2024 hopefully to pick it up in 2025, 50 years later when I saw it first.

It's beautiful. Would have been my dream car as a kid, (probably still is..). I always loved the Jags.

[@charlestesoro7902]

Holy crap! I've never been a big fan of the Series III V12's, until THIS! A set of redline tyres would look real slick on this car.

The colour raises this car to another level. It softens the lines and changes what l always thought was the ugly duckling of the e-type family into a thing of beauty. Don't suppose this is ex- Martin Brundle?

[@husamalsharefi6848]

finale i find a good review

[@Megaman_123]

What’s the sticker price on this car?

[@ralphbillick1210]

Beautiful jag but would have liked to have seen it on the road ❗️🇺🇸

[@scottmurray4689]

When you have such a beautiful car, why do you spend so much time with a close up of this bloke?

[@olivier-pierredebelmont.3630]

I offered 500.000$ for this car,but unfortunately I am living in a country where we drive on the right side of the roads,so I had to retire my generous offer. Monney can not always make us happy.

[@shauntaylor9251]

To my mind this is not restoration , that's taking cars back to how they left the factory when first built .

[@bernhardlist9359]

Honestly, this motor does not sound right, it stutters. I have the same V12 E-Type roadster and trust me mine sounds much smoother than this conversion. It still needs work guys.

[@bernhardlist9359]

fk god Trust me, the owner of a similar car had it back several times at E-Type UK and complained about it and it is still not straight. He was told that this is because of engine torque ...... nice excuse. Mine are straight. Guess my V12 must lack torque 🤣🤣🤣🤣

[@bernhardlist9359]

fk god Hey this is a free world so why should you apologize for a personel preference. I also have an old MK2 and it is original except the brakes have been upgraded so I can safely drive on the highway between todays traffic. Trust me, it was necessary. I am currently upgrading my E-Type to fuel injection because this engine on carbs uses 22 Liters of gasoline while driving moderately. Using Weber carbs it gets worse. I agree about originality but I drive my classics and the V12 E-Type would have been injection equipped from the beginning if Brico would have delivered them to Jaguar. The Stromberg carbs where a lousy substitute but for Jaguar the only way to get the car to the market fast because they needed those sales. Except for the engine „management“ my car is still original enough to enjoy the feeling of driving a classic except I don’t have to stop at every gasstations during my weekend trips to France. My friend has a highly „restomoded“ car from E-Type UK and for my humble taste it is too modern but he is happy so I guess it is good. There are so many E-Types out that have been modified for racing and there was even a hearse so those are also far from original but in the end the owner has to be happy with it. There are still a lot of perfectly original ones around to leave room for personel improvements. I am an engine fanatic and I want them to run as smooth as silk and the V12 is such an engine, so I do everything to pet and protect this jewel of Jaguar engineering. Is your E-Type all original? Happy cruising!

It ist Not a simple Car, ist is a Sculptur. ITS s piece of Genius.

[@sdc8547]

At last an Englishman talking about an English car! Not some know-nothing yank.🤦

[@williamr3840]

If you truly appreciate old cars then why turn them into "brand new" cars? I just don't get it... If you want a brand new car, go get one! :0)

[@Teeveepicksures]

Because old shit falls apart and Mr. Lucas is dead.
