Selling a 1972 Jaguar E Type

 

The much-anticipated launch of the new Jaguar V12 engine in 1971 also prompted changes to the Series 3 cars, including the 1972 Jaguar E Type. The new V12 engine was almost three-inches longer than the previous V6 engine and was also much wider due to the addition of two pairs of carburetors placed on the outer sides. This increase would lead to some body changes, as Jaguar had to fit this new engine into a body that was known for its pleasant curvature and iconic lines. New flared wheel arches emerged, as did wider tires and a larger, cross-slatted grille for additional air intake. To accommodate for these changes, Jaguar also used the longer 2+2 chassis. Because these Jaguar Series 3 E Types encompass all the changes that would happen over the course of nearly 13-years of production, they are highly sought-after in the collectors market. Not to mention they are a beautiful and classic example of British racing cars at their prime. But, as an owner, you probably already know this.

 

1972 Jaguar E Type Seller’s Guide

Jaguar, due to increased room on the 2+2 chassis, was also able to offer the 1972 Jaguar E Type with an automatic transmission. It is important to note that many Jaguar enthusiasts and collectors prefer the manual transmission, however.
