George Daniels was a most perceptive and discriminating enthusiast, whose attraction to fine engineering is exemplified throughout his car collection as offered here. He could not possibly have ignored the E-Type line, and here we offer his V12 Series III roadster, this car still retaining its original power unit, with – as a genuine "driver's car" – manual gearbox.

Having sold his 4.2-litre E-Type Series II 2+2 Coupe, Mr Daniels acquired this particular example from a friend in the late 1980s and it is offered here with some 52,300 miles recorded, which is believed to be genuine. It was the one 'classic' that George Daniels used most frequently, commuting between Hereford and the Isle of Man on numerous occasions. A sporting motor car that could cover great distances with the minimum of fuss.

The car features the desirable option of chrome wire wheels and it is offered in quite original order with generally good condition interior furnishing and trim, displaying minor wear, particularly to the driver's seat. The car's red paintwork requires some attention, with evidence of touch-in around some areas plus micro-blistering. Some small dents are evident on the bumpers but nothing is evident that could not be corrected quite economically. Above all, this is not just 'a' Jaguar E-Type Series III V12 Roadster. This is 'the' George Daniels Jaguar E-Type Series III V12 Roadster – a truly iconic classic of the 1970s offering just that little extra cachet.
