1972 Jaguar E Type | Walton-on-Thames, Surrey

A 1972 Jaguar E Type Series 3 roadster, the version that brought a V12 to the range. It is known for its long bonnet, flared arches and four exhaust outlets, and for a smooth, relaxed character that suits touring as much as speed. This car is finished in blue with grey leather inside. Its 5.3-litre V12 sits beneath that bonnet, and the open cockpit for two keeps driver and passenger in clear view. The condition is excellent, so paintwork and leather hold up well in close-up shots. Film and TV productions get a 1970s period car whose bonnet fills the frame. Photography, fashion and editorial shoots have flowing lines against a quiet grey interior, and music videos and advertising can use the sound of the V12 as well as the look. Weddings and special days are served by the same open-top arrival. The car is based in Walton-on-Thames, Surrey.
