When it was unveiled in 1961, Enzo Ferrari famously described it as "the most beautiful car ever made." With the introduction of the Series 3 in 1971, Jaguar entered a new era, focusing on greater refinement, increased comfort, and, above all, significantly more power thanks to the impressive 5.3-liter V12 engine. The Series 3 is distinguished by its wider track, revised front design, and a more luxurious interior. While earlier E-Types were pure sports cars, the V12 version evolved into a true grand tourer, perfectly suited for long-distance driving. The V12 offers exceptional smoothness, quiet operation, and effortless performance, making it ideal for relaxed yet prestigious driving. This particular example, built in 1971 and finished in an elegant green, has been professionally restored in the past and is now presented in excellent condition. Equipped with an automatic transmission, it perfectly matches the refined and comfortable character of the Series 3.
