1967 Jaguar XKE Series I 4.2 Roadster

As one of the most iconic British sports cars of the 1960s, this 1967 Jaguar XKE Series I 4.2 Roadster benefits from a comprehensive, ground-up restoration and rebuild completed with an evident focus on mechanical integrity and factory-correct presentation. Finished in an elegant Old English White exterior over a striking red interior, the car presents with the timeless proportions and unmistakable styling that made the E-Type an instant automotive legend. The Series I’s covered headlamps, delicate chrome detailing, and low-slung roadster bodywork remain among the most celebrated design cues of the era, while the warm color combination lends this example an especially sophisticated character.

Powered by Jaguar’s celebrated 4.2-liter dual-overhead-cam inline six-cylinder engine paired with a four-speed manual transmission, this Roadster was rebuilt using an extensive catalog of new components and restoration supplies. Documentation accompanying the car reflects substantial investment in engine internals, gaskets and seals, cooling-system components, braking hardware, clutch hydraulics, suspension items, fuel-system servicing, interior refurbishment, and countless ancillary restoration details. The rebuild included attention to the drivetrain, braking system, cooling system, and cabin appointments, resulting in a car that was restored from the ground up rather than cosmetically refreshed alone.

Today, this Series I 4.2 Roadster stands as a beautifully restored example of Jaguar’s definitive sports car, equally suited for concours events, spirited touring, or inclusion in a premier collection of postwar European automobiles. Combining one of the marque’s most desirable body styles with a thorough restoration and highly attractive presentation, this E-Type offers collectors the opportunity to acquire a comprehensively rebuilt example of a universally admired classic. Removed parts including the original wheels, radiator, starter, front chrome bumper, and various other original parts will accompany the sale.
