A sale is currently pending on this vehicle but please check out
our other fine cars. This car represents a great opportunity to
acquire a very nice E-type roadster. Formerly on consignment to us,
we have just purchased this car from its long term owner and have
lowered the price as well. The car received a rotisserie
restoration and we have photo documentation available covering the
restoration process. The engine was rebuilt with modest performance
upgrades including camshafts, electronic ignition, and a big bore
stainless steel exhaust system. Mechanical components addressed
during the restoration also included a new clutch kit, and Koni
shocks front and rear. The brake hydraulics were rebuilt or
replaced and suspension rebuilt with new bushings and ball joints.
It has new Dayton chrome wire wheels shod with Pirelli P6000 tires.
The restoration was done with appropriate attention to detail even
including original style hose clamps. The car is flawless in panel
fit, panel integrity, color consistency and gloss. She is truly
beautiful and many agree there is no prettier color combination
than its Opalescent Silver blue and over dark blue leather. Driving
this car is indeed a pleasurable experience. Besides great power
and handling, it exhibits a new car like tightness. There are no
rattles or squeaks and it is truly a great driver. This Jaguar's
Heritage Certificate confirms it was built in December of 1967.
These cars were often called Series 1 1/2 or 1.5 although that was
never an official Jaguar designation. The factory still considered
them a Series 1. However, to meet U.S emissions and safety
regulations starting in January of 1968, this car was originally
equipped with open headlamps and dual Stromberg carburetors. In
this case, the restorer brought back the purity of the original
design by converting it to covered headlamps. It was also restored
with power to match its styling. The engine was rebuilt with triple
S.U. carburetors and other performance enhancements. Thus in this
car, you have one of the last E-types produced in calendar year
1967 with the pure original E-type styling plus smile inducing
power that well exceeds the original. The car has a correct E-type
4.2 series 1 engine although it is not original to the car. As such
you're getting an E-type in what many consider the ultimate
specification of 4.2 engine, triple carburetors, and covered
headlamp bonnet but for literally tens of thousands less than what
original 4.2 covered headlamp cars demand in today's market. For
