In the early 1970’s. Jaguar gave its perennial E-Type a major makeover. While it might be hard to imagine the
lusciously styled Jag ever needing a refresh, there was a lot of pressure on Jaguar to keep the car in compliance
with ever-stricter safety and emissions standards, and still keep it performing on par with the competition For
1972, the heavily redesigned Series III E-Type was unveiled. It was longer, lower, wider and featured new styling
that, while still clearly an E-Type, was forward hinged bonnet. The iconic 4.2 liter twin-cam inline-six “XK”
engine was out, and in its place was anew, all-alloy, single overhead-cam V12 displacing 5.4 liters. The twelve
breathed through a quartet of Stromberg carburetors, and put its copious torque to the ground through a choice of
automatic or four-speed manual transmission. The chassis was essentially the same layout, though made wider,
longer and stronger to accommodate the new drivetrain. Four-wheel disc-brakes provided excellent stopping power.
The new E-Type V12 was a softer car than its predecessor with a more generously sized cabin that was comfortable
and relaxed. The power steering system is highly boosted, but still provides surprising levels of feedback to the
driver, and the silken V12 delivers strong performance in a very subdued and quiet manner. Still very much a true
Jaguar E-Type, the Series III manages to give the drive an altogether different experience from the earlier cars,
while still maintaining the feel and experience of a proper Jaguar sports car.
This Pale Primrose Yellow 1974 EE-Type roadster is an incredible, low mileage car that has been extensively
restored to a very high standard. Sold new in Pennsylvania, its first owner was Ray Mundt. The Jaguar served as a
company car for Mr. Mundt, and he originally registered it to Royston Distributors, a subsidiary of the once mighty
ALCP Standard Corporation, of which Mr. Mundt would eventually serve as the President, CEO and Chairman of the
Board. A somewhat unlikely company car, Mr. Mundt cherished this Jaguar, keeping it for over 40 years and accruing
a mere 18,000 miles in that time.
It was very well-equipped from new, fitted with the very rare optional factory top, air conditioning, stereo,
4-speed manual gearbox, and luggage rack. Pale Primrose Yellow is considered by many to be among the most
attractive shades for the Series III E-Type, with the black hard and soft tops providing a pleasing contrast on
this car. The paint quality and body fit are truly exquisite, with restored exterior brightwork. The
undercarriage and engine bay have all been fully restored with hardly a nut or screw left unturned. Proper paints
and finishes were used throughout to give this car a showroom fresh appearance particularly under the bonnet where
the big V12 is simply gleaming. Likewise, the suspension has been beautifully restored and detailed and a full
stainless steel exhaust has been fitted to provide lifetime service and a rich mellow soundtrack from the V12
engine. The car sits with an aggressive stance on period correct whitewall radials and lovely chrome knock-off
