The Iconic Sale at Race Retro 20th-22nd February 2026

182 The Iconic Sale at Race Retro 2026 Cars Powered by Jaguar’s legendary 5.3-litre V12 engine, producing 272bhp and capable of 0–60mph in under seven seconds with a top speed of around 140mph, the Series 3 E-Type Roadster represents the most refined and muscular evolution of this iconic model. Effortless performance is paired with turbine-smooth delivery, making the V12 E-Type a grand tourer of genuine stature. Finished in Old English White and complemented by a striking red leather interior, this matching-numbers example is equipped with an automatic transmission, perfectly suiting the relaxed yet powerful character of the Series 3. Originally left- hand drive, the car has since been professionally converted to right-hand drive and, around five years ago, was treated to a repaint in its original colour along with a comprehensive interior retrim. A number of sympathetic enhancements have been made to improve usability and driving enjoyment, including electronic ignition and uprated power steering. The interior benefits from new seats, door cards and carpets, all contributing to a smart and inviting cabin. Notably, expenditure totalling approximately £23,000 is documented, including £8,250 for a full retrim carried out by the respected trimmer Cliff Griffiths, with the remaining work undertaken by Castec Motors of Wolverhampton. Offered at a very competitive estimate when you consider what’s actually offered and accompanied by its history file and V5C, this Series 3 V12 Roadster is a charming example of the rare late-model open E-Type, combining smooth, authoritative performance with one of the most instantly recognisable silhouettes in motoring history. Crisply presented in Old English White with a simply remarkable red leather interior, sympathetically upgraded with electronic ignition and power steering.
