1974 Jaguar E Type V12 Roadster Manual 5 speed.

1974 Jaguar E Type V12 Roadster Manual 5 speed.

Registration Number:  ETP832

Chassis Number:  1S2722

This is a stunning fully restored car done with a host of modern upgrades to make it as modern day useable & pleasurable to drive as possible.  The extensive list of works & modifications may be found below:  Having XJS heated seats make it supremely comfortable with the 5 speed gear box making it very relaxed at speed unlike the somewhat breathless standard 4 speed cars.  

Please take time to read the full specification which includes conversion to fuel injection transforming the way the engine runs particularly from cold starts.  A full engine rebuld was undertaken less then 10,000 miles ago including new pistons, big end & main bearings, Vales & guides etc.
