1972 Jaguar E-Type Convertible
| Samspace81 is proud to showcase... 1972 Jaguar XKE Series III V12 Convertible (OTS) I am proud to represent this special '72 Jag XKE owned by a friend & associate of mine. He purchased this car several years ago from a long-time friend of his here in Texas. This Series III V-12 car has accrued approximately 58,173 miles since new. The previous owner had this car dating into the early 80s. The car was in a brief storage until 2015. Over $46,000 has been spent in recent history on mechanical restoration along with paint work and interior restoration efforts. I have a stack of receipts to verify the work performed. This is a true driver's car. It rides, runs and handles beautifully. Important aspects have been addressed such as the suspension, engine, fuel system, brake system, transmission, and differential with axle work. Not a perfect Jag, this is a car that can be DRIVEN. This would be a perfect candidate for the Hot Rod Power Tour. Please look carefully through my detailed presentation and feel free to contact me, Sam, with any questions at 972-748-6389.

The V12 cars are refined enough to make the motoring experience more enjoyable thanks to suspension revisions (rebuilt!) & the addition of power rack & pinion steering (rebuilt!) This example sports its number's matching original engine with verifying VIN stamping. Jaguar's E-Type is at the top of many automotive beauty lists and is known as one of the most attractive automotive designs of all time. The E-Type is a fast appreciating classic car that is an excellent investment. This example has already had a small fortune spent in restoration so it can be driven & enjoyed reliably. The Series III cars displaying subtle body refinements and chassis enforcements to accomodate the newly designed suspension & substantial V-12 engine. The rigidity of the Jaguar E-Type's structure was substantially improved. There were also some cosmetic changes, all the while retaining the timeless E-Type design. The engine compartment houses the original V-12 engine that has just underwent an extensive tune-up. The Stromberg 175 carburetors were rebuilt & calibrated while the ignition system was gone through & a Crane amplifier installed. Please note the original VIN stamping and firewall identification plate posted in photos below. The interior displays an excellent original dash assembly & gauges. The seating was removed with new seat cushions installed & the vintage leather treated with conditioner. The upholstery is not torn & displays some patina (age) to it. I again want to note replacement of soft rubber components throughout including door seals, fender seals & glass seals. The car is very comfortable and easy to drive. Again, thanks to the extensive suspension & steering restoration. This is a factory air conditioning car. The system was attended to with a new drier installed & charge. It was working until recently. The air conditioning will need to be serviced & inspected for a likely leak somewhere in the system. These cars could be ordered with a GM-style compressor & underdash unit for relative ease of maintenance. The trunk shows very well, with mat, color-keyed wooden spare well covering & matching wire wheel with jacking equipment. The spare well is solid throughout. The undercarriage displays the rebuilt suspension front to back. This car received a new front subframe assembly, very expensive & all work professionally done. The original assembly was bent according to the owner. The shocks have been replaced front & rear along with the bushings throughout this car. The brake system was completely attended to with new master cylinder, brake booster, and lines. The differential & transmission were removed & rebuilt during the restoration along with the fuel tank. The steering rack was removed and rebuilt as well. Again, this Jaguar drives exceptionally well, much of this is attributed to the restoration work performed on it. It is a true driver's automobile. This is a car that would be perfect for an even such as the Hot Rod Power Tour. Again, be sure to play the special video road test of this Jaguar as seen on YouTube - https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=OTr0AgsWBtM This car was originally Silver in Color. The car was changed from silver to red some time in the 1980s, with the paint undergoing recent extensive correction that included the entire bonnet assembly being repainted. The & body are in very good condition. Note the door gaps, trunk gap, and bonnet fit as correct. The owner just spent over $6,000 refinishing & restoring the Bonnet paintwork. The wire wheels were installed during the restoration along with a matching spare. The tires are high performance Michelin radials sized with 205/65R15s all around. The paint shows well throughout, any imperfections are relatively minor. There are no bubbles or corrosion bleed through to note. The convertible top is in excellent condition, replaced during the recent restoration. The auxiliary removable hardtop is included. The headliner is showing its age & in need of restoration/replacement, but the top is really in good shape.
