1967 Jaguar E-Type Series I Roadster The Series I E-Type is considered the most desirable of the range, due to its purity of line and featuring the classic covered headlamps. Of these, the second iteration produced from 1965-1967 were significantly refined with their larger 4.2-liter engines, greatly improved seats and roomier cockpit. This car exemplifies those attributes in every respect. The engine was rebuilt in the 1980s and the car was treated to a complete, nut-and-bolt restoration in 1990. In 2004 the car was freshened with work that included the brakes and calipers, tuning of the wire wheels, new black canvas top, carpets, hoses, belts, chrome and recalibration of the speedometer and odometer. As presented, it is finished in stunning red with a black interior and such features as a rear luggage rack, correct redline tires on chrome wire wheels and a Kenlowe electric fan for improved drivability. The car has always been extremely well cared for. It is well sorted and needs nothing to be driven and enjoyed. Jaguar unveiled the brilliant E-Type at the Geneva Auto Salon in 1961 and, in so doing, stunned the motoring community. With its monocoque passenger compartment/tail section, tube-framed engine bay and tilting bonnet, it was clearly descended from the legendary D-Type, but its well-appointed interior, civilized 3.8-liter XK engine, and compliant suspension made it an ideal two-seat touring car and successor for the XK 140 and 150. The E-Type was immediately successful, and its timeless design remains one of the most attractive sports cars ever built. While Sir William Lyons was personally involved in the design of all of Jaguar's cars, he enlisted the formally trained mathematician and aerodynamicist Malcolm Sayer to execute the E-Type's design. Beyond its fully independent suspension and advanced four-wheel disc brakes, the E-Type was also downright fast, with a reported top speed approaching 150 mph. In fact, its high performance levels and superb driving dynamics placed it solidly within range of Ferrari's GT cars, but at a fraction of the price. In keeping with Jaguar tradition, the E-Type was continuously improved, and for 1965, the proven 3.8-liter engine was enlarged to 4.2 liters of displacement. Its rated horsepower remained unchanged, but a meaningful increase in torque provided greater drivability, which was enhanced by the arrival of a long-awaited, fully synchronized gearbox. THIS CAR WAS STORED IN A HEATED AND AIR CONDITIONED GARAGE SINCE NEW.PLEASE CALL 215-594-9677 FOR MORE INFORMATION
