Jaguar E-Type V12 Coupé

Jaguar E-Type Series III V12 Coupé | Matching Numbers | 2 Owners | Full History since 1972

There are vehicles that are more than just an automobile. And there are very few that tell a story quite like this one. This stunningly beautiful 1972 Jaguar E-Type Series III V12 undoubtedly belongs in exactly that category.

First Registration: July 1, 1972

Delivered to a wealthy lady in the USA, the history of this extraordinary vehicle began at a level that is second to none. What is truly unique, however: from that moment on, almost every single movement of this vehicle has been documented.

The first owner did not just keep the original invoice—she laid the foundation for a documentation that today consists of two thick, fully packed folders. Invoices, maintenance records, notes, proof of repairs—everything has been preserved without gaps. Such a complete history is an absolute rarity, even in collector circles.

This exceptional documentation also confirms the coveted Matching Numbers: engine, gearbox, and chassis all correspond—a decisive factor for collectors and enthusiasts.

One very special detail highlights the extraordinary history of this vehicle:
A charming original photo of the first owner with the vehicle is also included—a rare and personal contemporary document that makes the history of this E-Type tangible in a special way.

The vehicle was later imported to Germany with approximately 88,700 miles and has since been in its second ownership, where it has been maintained and serviced just as conscientiously and with great dedication. This phase is also comprehensively documented. The vehicle has been in the possession of the current owner since 2012.

General Data:

Mileage: approx. 92,000 miles (approx. 148,000 km)

Condition & Substance:
The E-Type presents itself in a remarkably authentic and simultaneously extremely well-maintained condition. It is a nearly unrestored vehicle with a substance that is hard to find today.

The paintwork was renewed many years ago and remains in very good condition to this day.

The bodywork impresses with excellent substance—no significant rust issues.

The interior is original, high-quality, and appears almost as new.

Always garage-kept and only driven in fair weather.

Features & Special Details:

Rare and highly sought-after factory manual transmission.

Classic color combination in British Racing Green.

Delivered with the gorgeous heavy-gauge wire wheels, which remain in magnificent condition.

Original Jaguar owner's manual included.

Two sets of keys available.

Technical Condition & Driving Experience:

Engine starts reliably and runs very smoothly and cleanly.

Excellent power delivery.

Clutch has already been replaced.

Brakes in good condition.

Tires with very good tread.

Electrics and functions work reliably.

Air conditioning works perfectly.

The vehicle is ready to drive immediately, has no maintenance backlog, and has been moved regularly—even during longer periods of storage—for "preservation runs." As a result, there are no flat spots or similar defects.

The vehicle is currently registered and is available for a test drive by appointment.

Service & History:

Complete documentation in two extensive folders, including the original invoice.

Regular maintenance throughout its entire lifespan.

Last service performed in 2025 (invoice available).

Main inspection (TÜV) freshly passed without any detected defects.

Conclusion:
A Jaguar E-Type Series III V12 Coupé in this configuration—manual transmission, British Racing Green, Matching Numbers—is rare in its own right.

However, a vehicle that additionally comes from only two documented owners and possesses such an exceptionally complete history is practically impossible to find on the market today.
