E-Type Series III V12

Jaguar E-Type Series III V12: 1971 - 1975

The Jaguar E-Type Series III, produced from 1971 to 1975, marked the grand finale of the legendary E-Type line with the introduction of a powerful 5.3L V12 engine. Available in roadster, fixed head coupé, and 2+2 configurations, the Series III combined refined luxury with effortless performance. Wider tracks, power steering, and uprated brakes improved handling and ride comfort, while its flared arches and aggressive grille signaled a more muscular character. As the most sophisticated and tourer-oriented E-Type, the V12 remains a celebrated blend of elegance, innovation, and grand touring capability.
