This 1966 E-Type 4.2-Litre Roadster has resided in the southwestern United States for its whole life, and it just concluded a complete restoration to concours standards by a noted Jaguar specialist. Every component on the car is either brand new or fully rebuilt, and exceptional time and effort were spent in ensuring that this car is just as beautiful inside as it is out. It is finished in a stunning color combination of black over tan Connolly hides, which perfectly sets off its triple-plated chrome, and it is truly a marvel to behold. During the restoration, a handful of minor modifications to the car were made with drivability in mind. The original 3.54 gear ratio was changed to 3.23, making the car more tractable in each gear and comfortable for cruising. Also, four piston calipers were installed on the front brakes, and the car was fitted with a stainless steel exhaust. Additionally, the car is fitted with a factory hardtop, making this already magnificent E-Type even more desirable.

Jaguar's E-Type is truly a timeless design, and it is one that seems to only improve with age. To many, an E-Type Roadster is a must-have automobile in any collection, and this example would surely please the most discerning of collectors. As this E-Type features a factory hardtop and upgraded front brakes, gear ratios, and a stainless steel exhaust, it would be just as wonderful to drive as it is to look at. With only test miles since the completion of its incredible restoration, this is surely one of the most fantastic E-Types on the market today.

This 1966 E-Type 4.2-Litre Roadster has resided in the southwestern United States for most of its life, and received a complete restoration to concours standards by a noted Jaguar specialist less than three years ago. Every component on the car is either brand new or fully rebuilt, and exceptional time and effort were spent in ensuring that this car is just as beautiful inside as it is out. It is finished in a stunning color combination of black over tan Connolly hides, which perfectly sets off its triple-plated chrome, and it is truly a marvel to behold.
