STORY
Grand Tourer with style
With the third and final series of the legendary E-Type, Jaguar underwent a significant transformation: The Series 3 presented itself as a powerful grand tourer, characterized by the new 5.3-liter V12 engine and a significantly more comfort-oriented layout. The 2+2 Coupé, in particular, became the preferred choice for drivers seeking elegance, performance, and everyday practicality.
The extended wheelbase of the 2+2 not only made it possible to integrate two emergency seats in the rear, but also gave the car a more balanced roadholding – ideal for long trips.
Inside, the coupe offered significantly more space, a revised dashboard, and power steering and brake booster as standard – indications of the brand's increasing demand for comfort.
With a total production of only 7,297 units, the Series 3 Coupé is not only rarer than the open roadster, but is now a sought-after collector's item for lovers of classic British GT culture.
The Jaguar E-Type Series 3 2+2 combines classic lines with superior technology – and marks the worthy conclusion of one of the most style-defining model series in automotive history.
PERSONAL STORY
This exceptional vehicle dates back to 1971 and was originally produced for the US market. It's a Series 3 Jaguar E-Type, equipped with the legendary 12-cylinder engine and the practical 2+2 coupé configuration—a vehicle that impresses not only with its aesthetics but also with its technical sophistication.
This E-Type was owned by a passionate family of classic car collectors for over a quarter of a century. During this time, the vehicle was regularly serviced, professionally maintained, and used in numerous outings and rallies – a true driver's car with character and history.
The car was purchased from Moser Gmunden, one of Austria's most renowned restorers, specializing in Jaguars and Austin-Healeys. The connection with Moser Gmunden stands for the highest quality in the restoration and care of classic British automobiles.
