Series III E-Types have a formula, on paper, that would seemingly challenge the likes of Ferrari, Lamborghini and other 12-Cylinder exotic cars of the period. The engine is a racing-derived unit bred for LeMans, there are disc brakes on all four corners and a front-engine 2-seat layout exudes sports car DNA in every way. However, in typical Jaguar fashion, there is a fantastic balance of comfort and performance that leaves the Series III E-Type in its own class, separate and in some instances, above, that of its contemporaries. Powerful, long-legged, luxurious appointments and a refined interior design with performance technology integrated but not obvious. These are the attributes of the last of the great lineage of Jaguar sports cars.
