Our Take:
- Iconic Design Legacy: The 1973 Jaguar E-Type is among the last of the Series 3 models, a series renowned for its voluptuous curves and timeless design. Often dubbed "the most beautiful car ever made" by the likes of Enzo Ferrari, the E-Type's aesthetic allure remains undiminished even today.
- V12 Powerhouse: This era of the E-Type boasts a formidable 5.3-liter V12 engine, which was Jaguar's answer to the muscle car wave sweeping through the early '70s. The engine isn’t just about raw power; it offers a buttery-smooth drive that few have managed to replicate since.
- Rarity of Preservation: With only 36,000 miles under its belt and a history of careful maintenance, as described by its recent service at Lippincott’s garage, this particular E-Type has lived an enviable life. The attention to detail—using non-ethanol fuel and garage conditioning—suggests a level of care that enthusiasts dream of finding.
- Collector's Dream: The Series 3 E-Types are often overshadowed by their Series 1 predecessors, but they’re gaining traction among collectors for their underrated status. With elements like a manual transmission, this 1973 E-Type is a slice of automotive history that’s likely to stir nostalgia and admiration at any classic car meet.
