Opening bid $17,500, no reserve, no bids, 1 day left in auction.
Sellers description:
1967 Jaguar E-Type Series 1.5 4.2 2+2*: Restored and maintained by JK Restorations. I have owned this car for 10 years. It had undergone a 10-year restoration for a cost basis of $44,000 when I bought it. So, it is an older restoration, late 80’s. Previous owner had less than 10,000 miles on restoration. I have less than 3000 miles. The engine was professionally rebuilt in 2002 and has less than 1000 miles on it. The Jaguar wire wheels are new. The car runs fantastic.
True series 1 (covered headlights, flip switches) 1967 2+2, midnight blue with navy leather interior, beautiful condition, gets commented on where ever it goes, one of the best 2+2s out there. The car has been professionally restored including body work, engine, gearbox and interior, drives like a 4.2 should, loads of torque from 1000 revs, handles and stops and cruises well, a pleasure to drive, that rare combination of a comfortable relaxing but also a fun exciting drive.
I am the third owner; in the ten years I’ve had it, it's been garaged and maintained by JK Restoration with no expense spared, in the past two years in addition to it's full rebuild during the late 80s, it's had a new total engine rebuild in 2002.
The interior was re-trimmed and the front seats recovered in navy blue leather and new navy wool carpets are fitted throughout the car. It has a modern stereo fitted (no cutouts) and it has front seatbelts. The car has its original handbook along with a history file.
Items of Notice:
* Scratch on lower side of driver door and scratch on low side of rear right panel.
* Speedometer needs to be rebuilt.
* Tachometer isn’t as accurate as it should be (requires a $100 part).
* The shifter could use an adjustment with the bushings for smoother shift.
* The engine could be detailed for show.
*The "E" type 4.2 (in retrospect tagged 'series I') was the successor of the 3.8. It came in OTS (Open Two Seater), FHC (Fixed Head Coupe) and 2+2 versions. The body was the same as the 3.8's (except the 2+2, which was 9 inches longer and had a higher roofline), externally identifiable only by the bootlid badge. Many detail changes were made under the skin, though. The most important of these were the use of a new all-synchromesh 4-speed gearbox, the enlargement of the engine to 4.2 litre capacity -giving more torque-, better brakeservo, and ergonomically better seats. The dashboard and tunnel were changed from aluminum to respectively a black finish and full trim.
The 2+2 was a successful effort from Jaguar to make the "E" type a viable family saloon alternative; it had a (small) backbench, and because the wheelbase was longer an automatic gearbox could be fitted.
