Here is a great opportunity to own one of the most desirable classics ever produced. This 1966 Series 1 E-Type is one of the most desirable models, and comes in a highly attractive color combination of Golden Sand over a Black interior. The roadster has been maintained, enjoyed, and garage-kept by its previous owner. It is equipped with a 4-speed, tripe SU carbs, covered headlights, bucket seats, center console, armrest, full instrumentation, and wire wheels. The XKE is available now ‘as-is', but would make a wonderful restoration candidate to take to a higher level.

*Eligible for many tours and driving events

Stunningly beautiful in Golden Sand Metallic over black livery, this E-Type is a particularly

desirable model as it is one of the end-of-the-run Series I E-Types, featuring the larger 4.2-liter

dual overhead cam engine, the fully synchronized 4-speed manual gearbox, and the iconic and characteristic faired-in coveted headlights. It also features chrome wire wheels, center console, and arm rest, full instrumentation with toggle switches, and in-dash AM/FM cassette system. A dual exhaust system as was original on the E-Type is fitted, to allow the 6-Cylinder engine to breathe and make those lovely sounds.

The new E-Type was completed at the Browns Lane Jaguar factory during the Fall of 1966

as a factory left-hand drive example and is believed to have been delivered new to the US-market. At some point in time, the original 4.2-Liter engine was replaced with another comparable unit, to same specifications. Today this E-Type Series I 4.2 Roadster presents very well inside and out, with a nice luster to chrome and brightwork, and good shine to the subtle metallic paint. The classic chrome wire-wheels are shod on period-looking radial tires, perfectly filling out the fender wells. The black canvas convertible top matches the interior, and a top boot is available to fit when the top is down on a sunny day. Inside, the black leather interior shows a light and subtle patina, which these English motorcars wear so well, and the wood-rimmed steering wheel ads the perfect touch of class and performance. The Jaguar is reported to have been well maintained and enjoyed by its previous owner, and garage kept when not used.

A recent service has been performed along with interior and exterior detail. Here is a chance to buy one of the desirable, fully developed Series I E-Types, excellent all-around classic cars. With the 60th Anniversary of the E-Type in 2021, this example continues to be a highly collectible example to own.
