This magnificent unrestored Series I E-Type Fixed Head Coupe was
delivered new in the Spring of 1967 to the authorized Jaguar agent,
P.J. Kaufman Company, Incorporated of Milwaukee, Wisconsin. It was
a standard North American Market production example but was fitted
with the optional and very desirable high compression (9.0:1)
cylinder head. This Jaguar was sold and delivered to the first
owner, Mr. Bruce Boswell and registered new to his company, Boswell
Associates, Architects of 831 West Moreland Boulevard, Waukesha,
Wisconsin. The delivery and "In-Warranty" date was recorded as
April 18th, 1967. Mr. Boswell was a prominent local architect with
his office located in the upscale north east section of downtown
Waukesha, not far from the Fox River and just a short drive to P.J.
Kaufman, his local Jaguar dealer.
Boswell was a graduate of the University of Illinois and after
graduation went to work for the architectural firm of Grassold &
Johnson, he left the firm after just three years to start his own
company, Boswell Associates, Architects and he quickly earned a
reputation for excellent work and his on-budget and under-time
contracts jobs. He had several prominent projects with the city of
Waukesha including the remodel of the County Courthouse and several
prominent private business as well. In early 1967 as a present to
himself, he ordered up this particular Jaguar and it would remain
with him the rest of his life. During Mr. Boswell's ownership, his
treasured jaguar would be driven only occasionally during the
Summer months. Mr. Boswell took only one notable long-distance
journey in the car in 1970 when he drove from Wisconsin for a
holiday to visit Laredo, Texas. Boswell even took the Jaguar with
him over the border when he visited Nuevo Laredo, Mexico as
evidenced by a Mexican tourist visa sticker still affixed to the
right rear window of the car.
After Boswell passed away, the car remained stored with his family
before being sold by the family estate via Mecum Auctions to local
Milwaukee enthusiast, collector, dealer, Colin Comer. After 47
years, the purchase of this unique Jaguar from it original family
must have been quite a special moment. The car had covered just
over 12,000 miles from new and while it had been off the road for
many years, it quickly came back to life with only basic services.
Comer realized the car needed a special new caretaker capable of
affording the sympathetic work it would need to see that it would
be preserved as well as made fully functional once again. A trusted
friend and client purchased the car from Comer in the Spring of
2015 and over the next three years, he spent just shy of $100,000
on the car's careful refurbishment while simultaneously preserving
the car's original nature where possible.
Today this E-Type Fixed Head Coupe remains a treasure of
originality and authenticity. It further benefits from a complete
and correct repaint in the original, breathtakingly beautiful
"Opalescent Maroon" while still having its completely original,
un-restored interior, as delivered new. Having only been sparingly
driven in the Summer months by the original owner and now with just
over 13,000 original miles this Jaguar remains completely and
totally rust free with all original panels. It is also of course
completely "numbers matching" including both engine block and
original high-compression engine cylinder head.
The original pouch with the owners manual and various other
delivery booklets and documents remains with the car including the
ultra-rare original warranty card specific to this Jaguar at the
time of initial delivery. In addition to those documents and
records, receipts totaling nearly $100,000 fully document the very
careful refurbishment of the vehicle. Just a short test drive and
even a casual glance at this incredible Jaguar will leave any
enthusiast in a complete state of awe. It runs and drives like a
brand new machine, yet has the presence and stance of a most
spectacularly cared for and preserved specimen with no equal.
All interested parties are warmly encouraged to contact me to
arrange for inspections and test drives. No one who takes the time
to come and see this machine will be disappointed in the least.
