 |  | Roadster |
In 1967, the present owner drove his new car off the boat in Bayonne, NJ. It has been with him in Massachusetts and, following retirement in 1991, followed him to Florida.
The car is powered by a 4.2 Liter (4235 cc), 6-cylinder engine producing 265 horsepower.
It is probably the last XKE 4.2 to come into this country with the original SU carburetor setup, before Jaguar went to the Stombergs.

The 1967 Series 1 E-Type's had faired-in headlight styling, great brakes, comfortable seats, and a reliable gearbox. They are considered by many to be the best of the Series I E-Types.
The first update to the E-Type was in 1964 which saw in increase in engine size to 4.2-liters. The top speed remained at 145 mph but torque improved throughout the range. Standard for the 4.2 cars were an improved brake servo system and an all-synchromesh gearbox. The clutch and electrical cooling systems were also improved, and the seats were more comfortable, the dashboard revised, and a storage compartment was now available in the transmission tunnel.
This example has 83,000 miles on its odometer. A modern radio has been installed. A spare tire is the only accessory to this car. It was offered without reserve and estimated to sell for $80,000 - $120,000. The buyer of this car saw an opportunity and purchased this car for an excellent price of $55,000 including buyer's premium.

The Jaguar E type, also known as the XK-E, brought style and performance together to create a mass-produced supercar. The road-going sports car was conceived in 1956 as a replacement for the D-type. In March of 1961 the E-Type was officially introduced to the world at the Geneva, Switzerland Motor show.
It's design was created by an aerodynamic engineer named Malcolm Sayer. The front engine, rear-wheel drive vehicle featured a moncoque body and a tubular front chassis. The six-cylinder double-cam engine had three SU carburetors and produced 265 horsepower. The suspension was independent with disc brakes on all four wheels. It brought together the best or aerodynamics, coupled with the latest technology and propelled by a potent engine. The vehicle was not only fast, it offered excellent performance and handling. Some of the most common complaints it received were the cabin being too cramped and it suffered from poor ventilation.
The E-Type was a popular vehicle. It was fast, performed well, and was competitively priced. Due to the United States safety and emission regulations, some of the horsepower was lost. The headlamp covers were also removed prior to the close of the 1960's.
A 4.2-liter engine and synchromesh gearbox was introduced in 1964. In 1966, the 2+2 coupe was introduced and featured a longer wheelbase. The Series II cars were not as quick as its predecessors. The Series III, however, was a different story. Powered by a V-12 engine they were once again able to propel the E-Type over 145 miles per hour.
Production for the E-Type ceased in 1975, after 72,520 examples being produced. It was replaced by the XJ-S; a vehicle that was larger, heavier, and not as visually appealing.
