The E-Type was initially designed and shown to the public as a rear-wheel drive grand tourer in two-seater coupe form (FHC or Fixed Head Coupe) and as a two-seater convertible (OTS or Open Two Seater). A \"2+2\" four-seater version of the coupe, with a lengthened wheelbase, was released several years later. On its release Enzo Ferrari called it \"The most beautiful car ever made.\" Later model updates of the E-Type were officially designated \"Series 2\" and \"Series 3\", and over time the earlier cars have come to be referred to as, sensibly, \"Series 1\" and \"Series 11/2\". The New York City Museum of Modern Art recognized the significance of the E-Type\'s design in 1996 by adding a blue roadster to its permanent design collection, one of only six automobiles to receive this distinction. This particular 1974 Jaguar Series 3 has benefited from a beautiful restoration and it shows. The primrose paint in nearly flawless with no notable imperfections to speak of. The same goes for the chrome bumpers that shine like new. The rest of the chrome and stainless accents are equally as nice with no imperfection that we have found. The black vinyl top is also as new. Inside the black interior is in great condition with no major wear. The same goes for the carpets, door panels and dashboard. This is a very solid example of the final year of the E -Types production. The vehicle does not have a spare or jack. Under the hood boasts the desired 5.3-liter V 12 attached to a manual transmission makes this vehicle a joy to drive. This vehicle is also equipped with A/C making it very collectable and a great investment. The chrome wire wheels are new with brand new radial tires wrapped around them. The tires still have the stickers on the tread! The mileage shows 62,312 miles and is said to be original for the vehicle but we do not have any documentation to support it. The VIN is UE1S5461 and is being sold on a clean Florida title. Bid with confidence, seldom does an investment grade Series 3 Jaguar convertible become available to the public in this condition.
