1967 Jaguar XKE E-Type Coupe

The Jaguar E-Type was unveiled at the Geneva Auto Salon in 1961. It was one of the purest transformations of sports racers to production sports car the world had ever seen. The revolutionary Xk120, introduced in 1948 at the London Show, later evolved into the XK140 and the KX150. The Jaguar E-Type continued the tradition of elegant and sporty design and alluring buyers from around the world. The E-Type's underpinnings were directly descended from the three-time Le Mans-winning D-Type. Power was from an aluminum inline-6 twin overhead cam engine and mated to a 4-speed gearbox. It had an all-independent suspension and four-wheel disc brakes. The bodywork was sensuous and the result of Jaguar founder William Lyons' instinctive grasp of aerodynamics.

This particular example is an unrestored 1967 Series 1 XKE Fixed Head Coupe. It has covered headlights, front and rear marker lights above the bumpers and center-exiting twin exhaust. Power is from its original 4.2-liter triple carbureted twin cam engine. It has its original Opalescent Maroon paint with a great patina and original Black interior complete with 160 MPH speedometer, Smith's gauges and wood-rimmed steering wheel.

The car was in the care of one family ownership from 1967 through 2013 and driven just 12,563 miles since new. It has the original books still in the original plastic packet.
