1967 Jaguar E-Type XKE Description

This 1967 Series I Jaguar E-Type XKE 4.2 FHC is an excellent original car which has been sitting garaged for many years. This 43,000-mile matching number example is available in the rare factory black and red color combination, wire wheels and covered headlights.

A complete rebuild of the front and rear suspension, braking, fuel, cooling systems and the triple SU carburetors along with a careful examination and testing of its 4.2-liter engine, 4-speed transmission and rear differential make this E-Type 100% roadworthy in its present condition.

Noteworthy, a cold/dry compression check indicates the following cylinder pressures: #1-160, #2-159, #3- 162, #4- 160, #5 -162, #6 -162. This engine purrs. The transmission shifts easily and smoothly. With its new suspension and brakes the vehicle drives and performs like you would expect from a Series I Jaguar.

The engine compartment is highly detailed as are the suspension and rear differential assemblies. The floors boards are solid and require no rust repair. There is the typical E-Type rust in the rockers, rear fender edges and lower door panels, which are easily repairable. Bringing this car from driver to show car level will require paint, interior and chrome plating. The only known missing part is the center console, which is readily available.

With Series 1 values still on the rise, the car presents an exciting investment opportunity. This E-Type has tremendous potential and is an excellent candidate for some light restoration. With its mechanicals already restored and detailed any further restoration should be swift and exciting for the new owner. Collectability of a Jaguar E-Type Series I is unquestionable.
