For Sale: 1967 Jaguar XKE in Kentwood, Michigan

This Jaguar XKE Fixed Head Coupe knows how to make an entrance as it has received a ton of attention since it graced our showroom floor just a few days ago. Not a person has walked in without taking a moment to walk over to the car and admire its beauty.

This 1967 Jaguar XKE, "E-Type", Series I Fixed Head Coupe comes to us as part of a private collection since 2014. It is presented here in Carman Red exterior paint over its Black original, yes original, leather interior. Power comes from its 4.2 liter dual overhead cam engine fed by triple SU carbs, upgraded 5-speed manual transmission and rear wheel drive. The odometer reads 43903 miles and the miles are said and believed to be original.

Acquired as a running and driving highly original example in 2014 by the current owner, the car was thoughtfully evaluated with the intent to bring the car to a very high standard with a large focus on mechanical fitness, drivability, originality and overall physical presentation. The original 4.2 liter engine was removed and sent to renowned Jaguar engine builder Bill Terry of TT Engines, Benton Illinois. There, the motor was completely rebuilt, balanced, blue printed, polished, detailed, re-assembled, dyno'd, and tuned to the highest standard. During this process, the front subframe was removed and fully refurbished, the rear suspension and transaxle assembly cage was removed and brought to Muncie Jaguar Restoration specialists for a full rebuild with fully refurbished and new compontry throughout. Other highlights include all new suspension including new torsion bars, Wilwood disc brakes all around, a new Tremec 5 speed gearbox, aluminum radiator, new Bell big flow exhaust system etc.

Cosmetically, the car presents wonderfully in all areas. Most notably is the original interior that remains intact with supple original leather seats, original carpet, dash, gauges, original wood wheel, trim and bright work. It bears witness to the fact that the car has never been resurrected from the dead and has remained a complete example since the car was purchased new. The original chrome and stainless have been polished as needed and the original wire wheels remain excellent. The Carman Red exterior paint is excellent. It lays flat and shows deep, glossy and free from any major defects. Excellent for its age. Under the hood is Jewelry.

This 1967 Jaguar E-Type FHC, is hands down, the best driving and performing E-type that I have been involved with in my 35 years of being in the industry. The initial start up is effortless and settles into a perfect idle. The power delivery is strong and consistent, the suspension, brakes and steering work together to provide confidence.

The Series I E-Type Jaguars dominated the sports car industry with its high performance and amazing style. It is considered one of the most beautifully designed sports cars of all time. It remains one of only 6 vehicles displayed at the New York Museum of Modern Art to be recognized for its styling. The car here is quite amazing in all areas. The restoration and refurbishment has been recorded and documented with receipts, before and after photos, commentary, spec sheets and a full dyno read out with the engine build. These have all been chronologically organized and easily navigated. If you are in the market for a highly regarded sports car that can be enjoyed in the garage, on the road and in your investment portfolio, then this car is a must consider.
