1967 Jaguar XKE 4.2L - Series I - Roadster
• VIN 1E14911
• Jaguar Heritage Trust Certificate
• Completed on February 23, 1967
• Matching numbers
According to the Jaguar Heritage Trust Certificate, this XKE was
finished in Carmen Red over a Tan interior and was completed on
February 23, 1967. The E-Type is considered by many to be the
height of Jaguar, and automotive design overall. The E-Type's
combination of beauty, high performance, and innovative engineering
has made this British sports car an icon of classic car
passion.
Its brilliant Red exterior is complemented by Classic Redline 185
R15 radial tires mounted on chrome knockoff wire wheels,
triple-plated chrome components throughout, chrome 'bullet-style'
driver-side mirror, new rubber seals, polished aluminum trim,
louvered hood, and dual exhaust pipes jutting seductively from
beneath the rear valance.
This XKE Roadster's Tan leather interior features leather seats,
Woolton wool carpeting, a contrasting black dash with factory
Smiths instrumentation, a traditional three-spoke, wood-rimmed
steering wheel with E-Type horn button, a manual 4-speed center
shifter with black shift knob, and chrome emergency brake
lever.

Its beautifully detailed matching in-line 4.2-liter, six-cylinder
engine, coupled with a four-speed manual transmission, generates
265 HP @ 5500 RPM, with 260 ft. lbs. of torque @ 4000 RPM. 150 mph
top speed and sub-7 second 0 to 60 acceleration. Equipped with disc
brakes, rack-and-pinion steering, and independent front and rear
suspension, it was considered a step ahead of other sports cars at
the time, and an influence on the entire industry. This is the one
car that Enzo Ferrari called "the most beautiful car ever
made."
