Jaguar 1971 Series III V-12 E-Type Engine

This V-12 engine came out of one of the first V-12 E-Types produced! It was actually manufactured in 1970, as you can see with the ribbed cam covers that it is an early engine.  The number is 7S1222SA and it is shown in one of the photos.  The engine has 10-1 compression, which is higher than the later V-12 engines.  This engine will need rebuilding.
