After the brilliant first-series Jaguar E-Type debuted at Geneva in 1961 with inline six-cylinder power, the car’s basic design progressively matured through 1971 with a switch to the smoother, turbine-like V-12. Known as Series III cars and offered through 1974, they also featured a larger bonnet bulge, larger, flared wheel openings, a slightly wider track, a revised grille and updated bumpers. The convertible now rode on the longer 105-inch wheelbase. The interior was also entirely new, including the seats and door panels. The center console was redesigned with a smaller, dished, leather-rimmed steering wheel fitted.

With power four-wheel disc brakes and steering, a 272 horsepower V-12, the final-series cars are very capable and refined Grand Touring machines, while also retaining the sensuous lines of their predecessors. Today they rightly continue to captivate legions of collectors and marque enthusiasts and are ever growing in popularity.
