Following a decade of successful six-cylinder E-Type variations, Jaguar created the renowned V-12 in 1971. With advanced brakes and standard power steering, the engine was available in convertible and 2+2 fixed head coupe versions. These are effortlessly distinguishable by the aggressive, slatted front grille in place of the mouth of earlier cars, flared wheel arches, and a badge on the rear that pronounced it to be a V-12 powered car.

This Regency Red example has a tan soft-top, top boot and interior; better still, it is a 38,000 original miles, two-owner car – the last 15 years of long-term ownership in Florida. The Jaguar is equipped with desirable factory air conditioning and optional chrome wire wheels. The Series III E-Type is powered by a 5,343-cc (5.3-liter), 272-hp DOHC V-12 engine with four Stromberg carburetors; this example has an automatic transmission. The carbs have been rebuilt with new diaphrams. Four-wheel disc brakes are also standard equipment on this exciting British model.

This car could be considered a nice preservation example complete with a classic look with chrome wire wheels. The interior is complete with sunvisors, center console, armrests, tonneau, carpeted trunk and three-spoke, wood-rimmed steering wheel. The Jaguar has been fully inspected and is accompanied by the service file, books and tools. Only 3,139 similar Series III Roadsters were built.
