Vehicle Description
Even Enzo Ferrari hailed it as "the most beautiful car ever made,"
and it's easy to see why when you lay eyes on this British Racing
Green 1966 Jaguar E-Type Series 1. The car's sleek lines and low
profile are accentuated by a shimmering coat of green that has been
expertly applied during a meticulous repaint. It's not just any
green; it's British Racing Green. Every inch is crafted to
perfection, from the iconic front grille to the smoothly curved
rear. The gleaming Dayton chrome wire knock-off wheels, sized at a
perfect 15", complement the car's elegant stance, open headlights,
while the dual exhaust tips give it that distinct Jaguar sound.
Sporting power disc brakes on both ends further enhance its
performance.
The fully restored light tan interior speaks volumes of luxury and
comfort. The seats, adorned in supple leather, invite you to savor
every moment of the ride. Every component, from the flawlessly
clean dash pad to the pristine console, has been attended to with
the utmost care. The stock gauges and steering wheel retain the
classic Jaguar feel, while modern touches like the vintage-style
AM/FM/AUX stereo provide convenience. It's an interior that
envelops you in a class that only Jaguar owners know.
Underneath the polished bonnet lies pure power: a 4.2-liter engine,
believed to be original, with a numbers-matching block according to
the I.D. plate. Though the cylinder head has been replaced during
the extensive restoration to achieve the correct 9:1 compression
ratio, it doesn't detract from the car's authenticity. Fueled by
triple S.U. carbs and mated to a 4-speed manual transmission, this
engine is a marvel of engineering. The car also features a
factory-independent suspension equipped with a dual-circuit braking
system.
