Sorted and Happy - Jaguar E-Type Roadster
New Inventory - 1967 Jaguar E-Type Roadster
Different cars impact me in different ways when they come through the building here. This car is like your favorite pair of broken-in shoes - comfortable, easy, and you just want to drive it longer. Easily the best driving XKE I have sampled to date - sorted and happy. Thoughtful care from the current owner focused on a car that was correct, and reliable to drive every summer for the last 10 years.
In 1961, Jaguar unveiled the E-Type at the Geneva Motor Show; an event that would forever change the sports car world. The stunning design, unrivaled performance, and race-bred lineage all contributed to the E-Type, also known as the XKE, rapidly became a cultural sensation. With its captivating beauty and surprisingly affordable price, the E-Type grew to iconic status where it has remained for more than half a century.
Jaguar’s racing experience deeply informed the development of the E-Type which offered progressive features to their production cars, including independent front and rear suspension, disc brakes all around (inboard at the rear), and Jaguar’s powerful twin-cam inline-6-cylinder engine. Significant sales allowed Jaguar to improve the E-Type including updating to the more powerful 4.2-liter engine and fully synchronized gearboxes for 1965. Later cars, particularly in the United States, had safety and emissions equipment that negatively influenced both performance and aesthetics, so 4.2-liter cars prior to the Series 2 are widely considered to be among the most desirable for spirited driving and enjoyable use.
This car is an early Series 1.5 E-Type, produced in March 1967 during the transition to the Series 2. These transitional cars had notable differences from the Series 1, but still retained many of the features of the earlier cars. Built with the open headlight configuration, this car still retains the desirable triple SU carburetors (maintaining the original and robust 265hp output), Salisbury limited slip differential, center dash toggle switches on the dashboard, while benefiting from the desirable 4.2-liter engine and superior synchromesh transmission. According to the Jaguar Heritage Certificate included with this car, this E-Type was originally delivered to the first owner through US distributor Jaguar Cars, New York, finished in cream exterior with black interior and black top.
