Description
4/22/24: Pending Sale; This 1966 Jaguar E-Type is a numbers-matching example that was restored to show level. Included in the XKE’s restoration process: the Roadster was stripped to bare metal in our body shop, and placed on a rotisserie where the metal was finished, leaded, with body parts being fitted to the car and chrome in our assembly area. All mechanical systems were gone through, and the XKE's stock 4.2 liter engine was rebuilt back to Jaguar factory specifications, as well as the car's transmission, clutch, and hydraulic systems. This fully restored XKE now stands as a great example to drive, show and enjoy - on the show-field or on your favorite scenic drives where it is sure to turn heads wherever it goes! Don't miss this opportunity to own and experience a freshly restored Series 1 Jaguar E-Type from Classic Showcase!

History
The series I 4.2 is the most user friendly, best driver, and most collectable of the E-Types. These wonderful cars had a 4.2 liter engine with 3SU Carburetors and a fully synchronized transmission. Some of the features of this model are covered headlights, toggle switches, full instrumentation with styling and design that was way ahead of its time, center console, arm rests, and fully synchronized transmission.
