Luxury Insider’s tip: 1972 Jaguar XKE E-Type Roadster

I was browsing the blog over at Luxury Insider, a great magazine with some cool articles. They recently chose a sweet Jaguar E-type that turned up on JamesList a while back as their pick of the week of sorts. Quoted below is the piece in question.

If this 1972 Jaguar XKE E-Type Roadster were a historical, cultural landmark UNESCO would have made it a world heritage site. It’s that beautiful. This original gem was lovingly restored and completed just a couple of years ago. Nearly everything on the car was either restored or replaced altogether so the car looks as it would have done when it first appeared on the showroom floor.

The type III was considered a long-bodied version because of its V12 engine, automatic transmission and elongated frame. This feature appealed to even the very tallest people and meant this exotic classic could match any driver’s profile.

Although the radio is original it has been updated with XM and bluetooth. And in another nice touch, the original manual is also included.

The car, brokered by Left Coast Exotics, is available for viewing (along with some more specs and even a video) right here.
