1967 Jaguar XKE Series I 4.2 Roadster

Purchased new by Eugene A. Casaroll of Michigan, founder of the Dual Ghia Motor Car Company, this 1967 Jaguar XKE Series I 4.2 Roadster arrives as a numbers-matching design icon with impressive pedigree and upkeep. Finished in classic Opalescent Silver Grey over Dark Blue leather with a black convertible top, its 4.2-liter inline-six engine pairs with a four-speed manual transmission to drive the rear wheels. Signature Series I details include covered headlights, four-wheel disc brakes, 15-inch knock-off wire wheels, Smiths instrumentation, a wood-rim steering wheel, and its original, Motorola AM/FM radio.

Extensive refurbishment has been entrusted to respected Jaguar specialists. Jim Bryhan’s Body and Paint Specialists completed a glass-out, bare-metal respray, while Northshore Sportscars retrimmed the cabin to its original specifications. A new Haartz canvas top and cover, refinished top frame and steering wheel, new cabin glass, dash, carpeting, door cards, and visors lend time-capsule touchpoints. Kats British Car Service subsequently carried out comprehensive mechanical and cosmetic work, including removal and servicing of the engine, carburetor and water-pump rebuilds, a rebuilt rear axle and suspension assembly, renewed Girling rear brakes, replated exhaust manifolds, a stainless-steel exhaust, new fuel tank, correct Dayton wire wheels, Vredestein tires, and extensive renewal of the braking, steering, cooling, and suspension systems.

Sympathetic performance upgrades aimed at improved drivability include a Pertronix high-torque starter, Wilwood front brake calipers with drilled and slotted rotors, a high-capacity aluminum radiator and cooling fan, and a spin-on oil-filter conversion. A recent tune-up and alignment further prepare the car for use and accompanying records document extensive care invested. Accompanying items include an ignition key set, Jaguar Daimler Heritage Trust Certificate, restoration and service records, a knock-off wheel block, convertible top cover, spare wheel and tire, plus spare braking and trim components.
