History

The 1967 Series 1 Jaguar E-Type represents a pinnacle in the evolution of this iconic British sports car. By this point, the E-Type had already firmly established itself as a symbol of automotive excellence, and the '67 model year continued to build on that legacy. Under the elongated bonnet, the Series 1 E-Type housed a refined 4.2-liter inline-six engine, delivering 265 horsepower, providing an exhilarating driving experience with a top speed of approximately 150 mph. One notable improvement for the '67 model year was the introduction of a fully synchronized gearbox, enhancing the car's usability and overall performance. The Series 1 E-Type's timeless design remained virtually untouched, featuring its signature sleek and aerodynamic lines, oval grille, and iconic triple-lens headlights. Inside the cabin, the 1967 E-Type offered a luxurious yet sporty interior, adorned with leather seats and refined wood accents. With its exquisite balance of power, handling, and elegance, the 1967 Series 1 Jaguar E-Type solidified its status as a classic of the highest order, cherished by enthusiasts and collectors alike for its timeless beauty and exceptional driving experience.
