OVERVIEW

A genuine UK-market Series 3 Roadster, reworked to deliver a markedly more responsive and engaging driving experience than a standard V12 E-Type.

Where many Series 3 cars lean towards a softer grand touring character, this example has been developed with a clear driver focus. The result is a car that feels sharper, more immediate, and significantly more usable in modern driving conditions.

Finished in Carmen Red over Tan, with bespoke interior detailing, it presents with a purposeful stance to match its upgraded mechanical specification.

ENGINEERING & DEVELOPMENT

This is not a lightly modified car. It is a properly developed example, with upgrades selected and integrated to improve drivability, response, and reliability:

• Six Weber carburettors, correctly installed and calibrated on the rolling road
• Bespoke tubular exhaust manifolds and full system, enhancing performance and sound
• Electronic ignition upgrade for consistent running and improved dependability
• Full suspension refresh, transforming composure and road feel

Importantly, these upgrades have not simply been fitted—they have been used, tested, and refined.

HISTORY & USABILITY

Supported by a comprehensive history file, this E-Type benefits from both significant one-phase investment and continued servicing thereafter.

Crucially, this is not a freshly restored or unproven car. The development work has been carried out, then driven and resolved—removing much of the uncertainty often associated with recently rebuilt examples.

The result is a car that offers genuine usability, not just presentation.

INTERIOR & DRIVER ENVIRONMENT

Subtle enhancements improve usability without compromising character:

• Motolita sports steering wheel
• Upgraded audio system with modern connectivity
• Inertia seatbelts

These additions make the car far more suited to regular driving and longer journeys.
