This Jaguar E-Type is a classic British open-top grand tourer, treated to a comprehensive restoration carried out by renowned Sydney-based marque specialist Gary Walker. It is powered by its original matching-numbers naturally aspirated 5.3-litre V12, delivering around 203kW to the rear wheels through a four-speed manual transmission. Originally delivered to the US, as denoted by its ‘UE’ chassis number prefix, the car was later imported to Australia and converted to right-hand drive. The odometer now displays approximately 2,500 miles, which is understood to be the distance covered since the completion of the restoration. Build year: 1973 This E-Type is finished in black with a co-ordinating black soft top over a tan leather-trimmed cabin. It rides on a set of 15-inch wire wheels, fitted with Dunlop whitewall tyres. Equipment includes power steering, air conditioning, and an electric aerial. Accompanying the sale are various documents of service history, a partial tool kit, jack, and spare wheel. Please refer to the photo gallery for a detailed view of the exterior, interior, and factory-fitted air conditioning. A comprehensive restoration was completed less than 3,000 miles ago by Gary Walker. This included a full respray of the bodywork, a retrimmed interior, and the replacement of the soft-top roof. The seller notes a minor area of orange peel on the bonnet. The vehicle holds current Victorian registration valid until 6 May 2025 and forms part of a significant collection curated by a discerning and fastidious owner. The car was last serviced in April 2022 at an indicated 2,322 miles by The Healey Factory and Mike Roddy, which included replacing the thermostat gaskets, windscreen, and roof. This Jaguar E-Type Series 3 V12 Roadster is a particularly attractive example of the breed, treated to a detailed restoration by esteemed Sydney-based Jaguar expert Gary Walker, who is well-known to Australian Jaguar enthusiasts thanks to his work on several high-profile cars, including a series of twin-turbocharged V12 XJ-Ss. Gary Walker is well know for working on Jaguars for Kerry Packer, building him entirely individual and custom cars. This matching-numbers example is finished in a tasteful colour combination, and would make a fantastic acquisition for any Jaguar enthusiast, promising to draw plenty of attention at various car shows and events.
