The subject of a complete restoration, this Opalescent Maroon 1967 Jaguar E-type Series I Open Two-Seater (or OTS, Jaguar’s term for the convertible) is avowed to look and drive like new. A multiple award-winning example of the E-type, the car has twice been named Best in Class at the Lake Mirror Classic held in Lakeland, Florida. A few mechanical upgrades have been implemented to improve the Jaguar’s drivability. These include a larger aluminum radiator and fan, a 90-amp alternator, Wilwood front disc brakes, a five-speed manual transmission, and a high torque starter. All replaced components will ship with the car, should the new owner wish to reverse the mods. Documented by the Jaguar/Daimler Heritage Trust, a copy of the E-type’s factory build sheet will accompany the car. Indicative of his attention to detail, the seller says the original Blaupunkt radio works, as does the clock. 

The Jaguar retains the original 4.2-liter DOHC inline-six.

Factory-stated output was 265 horsepower and 283 lb-ft of torque.

A five-speed manual transmission has replaced the original four-speed.

The original four-speed transmission and driveshaft will accompany the car.

No weeps, leaks, or powertrain issues are cited.

The Opalescent Maroon paint is said to be in “near perfect” condition.

No convertible roof problems are cited.

No crash damage, dents, dings, leaks, or other body issues are noted.

Upholstered in black leather, the interior shows well in the photographs.

The dash, instruments, accessories, and heat have no reported concerns.

Steering, suspension, and brakes are in "excellent" condition, with no issues noted.

COMES WITH

A copy of the Jaguar/Daimler Heritage Trust certificate of authenticity is included.

A copy of the factory build sheet is also included with the E-type.

The factory tool kit, jack and handle, knock-off hammers, and grease gun are included.

A convertible top boot cover will come with the car.

Original versions of all upgraded components will ship with the car.

Copies of receipts detailing the restoration work are included.

An extensive library, including the factory service manual, is included.

The seller is also including a Union Jack flag.

NEEDS

No needs are cited.

The seller states that this vehicle will be sold on a clean Colorado title in his name. Additional documentation includes copies of the factory build sheet, a certificate of authenticity from Jaguar/Daimler Heritage Trust, and all receipts pertaining to the restoration. By all indications, this is a no-expense spared restoration, which is reflected in the appearance and mechanical condition of this 1967 Jaguar E-type Series I OTS. Modifications have been made to improve the Jaguar’s roadability, but all available replaced components will ship with this convertible. And yes, the seller says the E-type drives just a good as it looks.
