1974 JAGUAR E-TYPE SIII OTS

LMCT 7819
SN:3671

ORIGINAL AUSTRALIAN – OTS – 4SPD – V12

The E-Type Jaguar Series III was Produced between 1971 and 1975 and was fitted with the All New V12 Engine which had Originally been Designed as a Competition Engine for the Le Mans 24 Hour. The Racing Version had been a DOHC fitted with Fuel Injection, but for Cost Saving, Simplicity and Reliability, the Road Going Engine was fitted with Redesigned SOHC Cylinder Heads and Zenith Carburettors.

As well as the aforementioned V12, the Series III had Numerous Specification Changes, including: the use of a Longer Wheelbase Previously used Only on the 2+2 Coupe, for the OTS (OpenTwoSeater), thus Improving Cabin Space, Uprated Brakes, Power Steering as Standard and an Optional, Very Popular Automatic Transmission. The short wheelbase FHC was no Longer Available, so the models were Limited To the OTS and the 2+2 Coupe.

This Lovely Australian Delivered, Matching Numbers Example is One of just 1,871 Original Right Hand Drive Open Two Seaters built, Representing 23.4% of OTS’s and Only 12.2% of Series III E-Type Production! To further increase its Rarity this RHD OTS is a Factory Manual example, making this The Rarest Specification Available in Series III.

Presented in Striking Silver, Complemented by Lustrous Bright-Work, 72 Spoke MWS Chrome Wire Wheels, finished with a Luxurious Navy Blue Leather Cockpit, Protected by a Black Tonneau and Soft Top, this E-Type Represents an Exceedingly Rare Opportunity to Obtain such a Desirable Jaguar. Accompanying the SIII is the Original Passport To Service Supplied when the Jaguar was Sold New, in New South Whales on the 20th of December 1974.
