Practical guide to buying a classic car: Jaguar E-Type

The Jaguar E-Type set new standards in design upon its market launch and is now considered one of the most striking sports cars of all time. The Series 3, available from 1971, also featured a 5.3-liter V12 engine, whose power delivery and outstanding refinement still delight classic car enthusiasts. Anyone wanting to acquire a good example of this icon of British automotive engineering should, however, only search for one of the 15,292 units built if they are very well informed: Despite the current excellent availability of spare parts, a bad purchase can be expensive.

For this guide, classic car expert and Jaguar specialist Peter Crespin has compiled the most important and helpful insider information for all Series 3 E-Types (built between 1971 and 1975) powered by the legendary twelve-cylinder engine.
