Vehicle Description
VELOCE MOTORS - THE VAULT is proud to present this absolutely
impressive 1966 Jaguar XK-E S1 4.2 Coupe! We, at VELOCE MOTORS -
THE VAULT, are a high-end auto storage company & event venue. On
occasion, our clients request for us to assist them with an
acquisition of a specialty vehicle or the sale of one of theirs.
One of the greatest sports cars of all time, the Jaguar E-Type is a
true icon. This particular car comes to us on behalf of a longtime
storage client. Its previous owner acquired it from the 2014
Gooding Auction at Amelia Island. Since then, it has been the
recipient of a comprehensive restoration. The car presents & drives
superbly. Finished in its original color combination of Carmen Red
over Black interior. The car is fitted with its original numbers
matching black, along with an unstamped replacement cylinder head,
all of which is confirmed by the included Jaguar Daimler Heritage
Trust Certificate. The car is accompanied by its original jack,
tool roll, reproduction owners manual, service poster, service
records dating back to 2002 and extensive invoices from recently
completed restoration. Panel fit is proper. The paint was done to
high standards. The chrome is excellent throughout. The entire
undercarriage of the car has been thoroughly restored and is very
clean and detailed. The car runs and drives very well. The electric
choke mechanism works properly and the car starts instantly cold or
hot. The engine displays good oil pressure and is responsive and
tractable, with nice even carburetion once warm. The clutch is
progressive and easy to modulate and the gearbox has good
synchromesh and well defined gates. The car is fitted with upgraded
Wilwood brake calipers and the car stops capably with a high, even
pedal. The chassis behaves as it should, with an excellent blend of
compliance and control that feels surprisingly modern today, and
must have felt downright transcendent in 1961. Veloce Motors shows
vehicles by appointment only. Please feel free to call or text with
