This is a beautiful and rare open headlight Series 1 Jaguar XKE
for sale. Very few open headlight cars were produced at the end of
the Series 1 Jaguar run making them among the rarest of all
production E-Types. Just like the earlier Series 1 Jaguar E-types,
this 1967 XKE has the triple bow convertible top frame, three SU
carburetors, polished aluminum cam covers, single radiator fan, and
toggle switches on the dash. Open headlights brighten the road far
better than the covered examples, so this rare combination provides
the uniqueness and novelty of earlier cars with the added benefit
of being able to drive it practically and more safely after dark.
Regardless of the rarity, this example is the nicest XKE of any
style I have had the pleasure to offer for sale.
No one disputes the beauty and elegance of a Jaguar XKE. Few cars
combine style, performance and class like an E-Type Jaguar. I will
never forget the first time I saw one in person. I was at one of my
first car shows and there in the European class, with the hood open
to the World, was a car unlike any other I had ever seen in person.
What a masterpiece of design and style. Owning one has been a dream
of mine ever since.
The goal when searching for an investment grade Jaguar XKE is to
find a car of the highest caliber for the best price. This example
was restored to the highest specification possible.
The time to grab on to these rising investments has possibly never
been better.
This car has just 3k miles on it since a complete restoration in
2003. That is just enough miles to get things sorted, and the car
now performs magically and it looks like new. The three SU
carburetors feed the rebuilt 4.2L straight 6 cylinder engine for
performance that will push you back in your seat with each press of
the throttle. On our test drive this car hit 50 mpr in second gear
just seconds after rounding a 90 degree turn.
Please note that the car is priced for a cash sell,I will not block it with a deposit.
