Vehicle Description
1965 JAGUAR E-TYPE ROADSTER for sale. Motorcar Classics is proud to
present this stunning 1965 Jaguar E-Type roadster featured in its
original color of Old English White with the nearly perfect
complement of tan leather interior and tan soft-top with matching
boot. This desirable Series I.5 roadster has benefited from a
meticulous restoration based on a solid original car. The car is
accompanied by a binder with before and after photos that
illustrate the fine level of preparation and final presentation
with photo-documentation of its high-quality restoration. The
binder includes ownership history from new, correspondence with
prior owners, and a JDHT Heritage Certificate. The car has less
than 38,000 actual miles from new, with only 200 miles being driven
since its completion. The numbers all match and the components are
all original.Our Jaguar is a magnificent example of one of the most
sought-after versions of the E-Type with covered headlamps,
synchromesh gearbox, triple-SU carb 4.2L DOHC motor, period AM/FM
radio, wood-rim wheel and toggle switch dashboard. Of course,
chromed knock-off wire wheels were part of the package and our car
is fitted with tasteful wide whitewall tires that fit with the
period presentation. The interior has an almost aircraft-type feel
with Smiths instrumentation, numerous dashboard toggle switches,
wood-rimmed steering wheel with growler center cap and a period
AM/FM radio. The engine bay and undercarriage were present in a
manner consistent with the rest of the car. The underside and
wheelwells are all painted, with no undercoating. This fine E-Type
runs and drives well and offers the same thrill that XKEs were
known for when new. It is an investment-grade example.
