Vehicle Overview

1974 Jaguar E-Type Roadster 

Offered here is a splendid 1974 Jaguar E-Type Series III Roadster, finished in a delightfully understated silver with contrasting black hood and rich red interior - the sort of color combination that makes one feel obliged to wear driving gloves.

Widely regarded as one of the most beautiful motorcars ever produced (even Enzo Ferrari was said to admire its lines), the E-Type remains the quintessential British sports car. Long bonnet, curvaceous flanks, wire wheels and that unmistakable stance - it's all here, and it's every bit as elegant in person.

Inside, you're greeted by proper old-school charm: red leather seats with character, a classic wood-rim steering wheel, Smiths-style dials scattered across the dash, and a manual gearbox that reminds you motoring used to require a bit of involvement. No screens. No nonsense. Just you, the car, and the open road.

Now then - honesty time.

The car has been sitting and will require recommissioning before returning to regular road duty. Expect the usual: fuel system refresh, brake service, fluid changes, and general fettling that any sensible enthusiast would undertake after a period of storage. It starts up and runs, also presents well, but it is not being advertised as a ready-to-tour example. Think of it as a splendid opportunity to put your own stamp on a proper classic.

The body presents handsomely, the chrome shines up nicely, and the interior is a wonderfully atmospheric place to be. With a bit of mechanical attention, this E-Type will once again be the sort of machine that makes strangers wander over at gas stations and say, "WOW, that's gorgeous."

Ideal for the enthusiast who appreciates pedigree, style, and a touch of hands-on involvement. We are offering this Jaguar for sale on behalf of the previous owner's partner. This car has been in the same ownership for 40 years and for the first time being offered for sale since 1985. 

Serious enquiries welcome. Please Contact Jason Courtney of Dream Car Chicago
