This 1967 Jaguar E-Type Series 1 roadster was produced on March 22nd, 1967 and was distributed to its first owner via Jaguar Cars of New York.

This stunning example was originally built in Opalescent Golden Sand over a Tan Leather interior with a Black soft-top and was subjected to a sympathetic restoration in the early 2,000’s where the entire car was stripped down to bare metal and refinished in this Rein White paint scheme with dark blue leather and as replacement dark blue soft top.

Extensive records are in hand going back to 2015, with the most recent work completed in May 2024, in preparation for the sale today.

The Series 1 E-Type essentially falls into two categories. There are those which were produced between 1961 and 1964 and had a 3.8L engine and those made between 1965 and 1967 which increased the engine size to 4.2L. The 4.2L engine produced the same power as the 3.8L (265hp) and same top speed, (150 mph) but increased torque 18% from 240lb/ft to 283 lb/ft. Acceleration remained pretty much the same and 0 to 60 mph times were around 6.4 seconds for both engines, but maximum power was now reached at 5,400 rpm instead of 5,500 rpm on the 3.8L. The 4.2L block was completely redesigned, made longer to accommodate 5 mm larger bores and the crankshaft modified to use newer bearings. Other engine upgrades included a new alternator / generator and an electric cooling fan for the radiator.

This wonderful example has resided in the care of one single family for many decades and is now being offered for purchase on consignment by Motor Cars LA included some replacement parts, (including covered headlights), recent service records and a Jaguar Heritage Trust Certificate and Leather Binder verifying the vehicles details.
