1973 Jaguar E Type | Swansea

A 1973 Jaguar E Type Series 3, the last series of the E-Type and the first to carry a 5.3-litre V12. It is known for a smooth, grand-touring manner, with power steering as standard and a longer wheelbase than earlier cars. Flared arches, a cross-slatted grille and four exhaust outlets set it apart. This car is finished in metallic silver with a black leather interior, a pairing that lets the long bonnet and flared arches read cleanly in frame. The 5300cc V12 gives a rich exhaust note, and the automatic gearbox, an option on the Series 3, keeps the driving relaxed. Condition is very good, and the two-seat cockpit keeps driver and passenger close together. Advertising, fashion and editorial shoots suit the clean silver bodywork against black leather, and period film and television suit its 1970s lines. At events and in music videos, the long bonnet and V12 sound give it presence on arrival. It also makes a graceful wedding car or a day out along the coast. The car is based in Swansea.
