Vehicle Description
Champion Motors International is proud to offer this 1967 SR I
E-type roadster finished in the correct BEAUTIFUL CARMEN RED, with
a Black interior, which is the most desired color combination to
have for a sports car.This is a numbers matching car: (VIN #
1E13230) with 60,220 on the odometer. It has had 3 owners over the
course of its life. The current owner has pampered the car for the
past 5 years and the previous owner enjoyed the car for over 30
years. A restoration was started 20 years ago at a premiere
restoration facility in Minnesota. The entire body and bonnet was
dipped to chemically remove all paint and primer. This process
exposed all areas of the sheet metal, including those areas that
required attention. Any areas that were questionable were either
repaired or replaced to make the body as good, if not better than
new . A professional paint job of Jaguar Carmen Red completed the
body/paint work. The body and paint restoration included the engine
bay, firewall, bonnet underside, and the entire underside of the
car.When the car was reassembled the final restoration included
many NEW components including, but not limited to, complete
interior, leather seats, convertible top, trunk kit, numerous
electrical harnesses, brake system, suspension, rubber, windshield,
tires, exhaust system, and miscellaneous electrical and mechanical
components within the engine compartment (i.e. starter, complete
hose and belt kit, radiator, alternator, etc.). Items that were not
replaced new were rebuilt where necessary such as the Triple SU
carburetors, the rear end, the rear trailing arms, the steering
wheel, the fuel tank, and many other miscellaneous components
throughout the car. All new components and work done was per
original Jaguar specifications except for a few modifications that
were done to enhance the cars performance (updated sound system and
upgraded cooling fan mounted to the front of the radiator). This
car was not undercoated after the restoration, thus, the sheet
metal work that was done, including its current excellent
condition, is evident on the underside and is in perfect rust free
condition.This car spent most of its life in Minnesota and since
the restoration it's only been driven about 2000 miles as a
pleasure vehicle in the summer time, thus the car is EXTEMELY clean
and rust free. Just recently the car has undergone a complete
tune-up including the ignition system, carburetor adjustment, and
engine checkout. Overall, this SR I Roadster is an beautiful
condition throughout. It starts, accelerates, stops, and runs
great. It's 100% ready for driving on nice sunny afternoons.*While
