The new Jaguar E-Type was introduced at the 1961 Geneva Auto Show. It was available in both coupe and roadster configuration. The car came equipped with new fully independent suspension and disc brakes at all four corners. The engine was a six-cylinder unit with twin overhead camshafts, displaced 3.8-liters, had triple SU carburetors, and produced 265 horsepower. This powerplant could carry the car to 150 mph and could race from zero-to-sixty in just over second seconds. The chassis had a center monocoque construction that was a development of the D-Type race cars.
In 1964, a new 4.2-liter development of the XK power unit was introduced. This new unit offered no increase in power but had better torque, and complied with the proposed changes to the U.S emission standards for 1968. Other changes dictated by U.S emission and safety standards included an increase in bumper height and different headlights.
For 1966, the 2+2 coupe was introduced on a lengthened wheelbase of 105 inches. By 1970, the original design had become dated, and in 1971, jaguar introduced the final E-Type Series III in roadster and coupe configuration on the 105-inch wheelbase. Under the bonnet was an all-alloy V-12 5.3-liter engine. Production continued until 1974.
There were over 9,000 roadster and coupes sold into the United States during the three production years.
This 1972 Jaguar E-Type series III Roadster has just 44,000 original miles with only two owners from new. The second owner treated the car to a bare-metal repaint retaining the original factory color. There is a four-speed manual gearbox, power steering, power brakes, factory air conditioning, and a rare factory hardtop and chrome luggage rack.
In 2009, this Series III Roadster was offered for sale at the Houston Classic Auction presented by Worldwide Auctioneers and held in Seabrook, Texas. The lot was estimates to sell for $55,000 - $75,000. The lot was sold for $47,000 plus buyer's premium.By Daniel Vaughan | May 2009
