Description
This 1967 Jaguar XKE is a Series I roadster that was produced on May 12, 1966, and originally distributed via Jaguar Cars of New York. The car was refurbished in 2020 before being acquired by the current owner in 2023, with work involving an overhaul of the 4.2-liter inline-six and its triple SU carburetors, the four-speed manual gearbox, suspension, and brakes. It has been repainted in metallic dark blue over red leather upholstery, and equipment includes a blue soft top, enclosed headlights, chrome 15″ wire-spoke wheels, power-assisted disc brakes, triple windshield wipers, a Blaupunkt AM/FM radio, and a heater.
The Series I E-Types were equipped with covered headlights and taillights. Finished from the factory in Pale Primrose Yellow, the car is said to have been dissembled and stripped to bare metal with corroded body panels replaced before it was refinished with metallic dark blue Standox paint in 2020. The chrome trim and wraparound bumpers were also refreshed. Equipment includes a replacement blue soft top, enclosed headlights, a louvered clamshell hood, a driver-side mirror, triple windshield wipers, and dual exhaust outlets.
The chrome 15″ wire-spoke wheels feature two-eared knockoffs and are mounted with 185/80 Dunlop Sport Classic tires. An overhaul of the suspension involved installing GAZ shocks and replacing various components with subsequent galvanization and powder-coating performed. Braking is provided by four-wheel discs with inboard-mounted rear rotors, with a rebuilt brake booster. The seller states that the brake master cylinder, brake lines, and brake pads were replaced.
