1973 Jaguar E-Type Series 3 - VAT 777

1973 Jaguar E-Type Series 3 - VAT 777
This one is for Ann ...

The E-Type Series 3 was introduced in 1971, with a new 5.3 L twelve-cylinder Jaguar V12 engine, uprated brakes and standard power steering. The brand new V12 engine was originally developed for the Le Mans series and the final engine could supposedly propel this 'big cat' from 0-60 mph in less than 7 seconds.

The short wheelbase FHC body style was discontinued and so the V12 was available only as a convertible and 2+2 coupé. The newly used longer wheelbase now offered significantly more room in all directions. The Series 3 is easily identifiable by the large cross-slatted front grille, flared wheel arches, wider tyres, four exhaust tips and a badge on the rear that proclaims it to be a V12.

A wonderful car - provided that you were a mechanic or had one as a friend. I love its sleek lines.

Thanks for your helpful suggestion on cropping my photo, Paul. I think that you are correct and when I find the time, I'll try it.

How do plates works in Europe? Do they stay with the car for its entire life? Or does that depend on the country?

Yes, pretty much for life although you can retain a number plate and transfer it onto another car if you complete the necessary paperwork and pay the appropriate fees. A lot of folks do that with the old plates especially and the most desirable ones can be sold for silly money!

The main rule when transferring plates is that you can put an old plate on a new car, but not the other way around ... guess the licensing bodies were worried about people passing a car off as being younger than it was! ;)
