1973 Jaguar XKE (Type OTS) Series III Roadster VIN UE1S23534BW White with Red Conolly Leather with Red LeMans Racing Stripes and Matching Red Canvas Top In 1971, Jaguar introduced a V12 engine to the model with the E-Type Series III, replacing the inline 6-cylinder engine used on the first and second series cars. The new V12 engine gave the car a more exotic profile along with a bit of luxury due to its smooth power delivery and more subdued engine noise. Further considerations were an increased length and wheelbase (to 105â€), increased legroom and larger cabin space, flared wheel arches, revised bumpers, and a larger under-bumper air intake to allow for better cooling. The interior was also revised with a more modern steering wheel and improved storage. It is equipped with the powerful turbine-smooth V12 engine, single overhead camshaft per cylinder bank, Zenith-Stromberg carburetors, 244 HP, Borg Warner three speed automatic gearbox, ice cold Air Conditioning, power brakes and power steering. Additional options includes a matching Hard Top Chrome Wheels, AM/FM cassette, original top boot, jack and complete tools with their proper storage bag.
