1967 Jaguar E-Type Series 1

This 1967 Jaguar XKE is a Series I Roadster that was completed on January 11, 1967 and delivered new to Toronto, Ontario via Jaguar Cars of Eastern Canada. A multi-year refurbishment was carried out from 2006 through the early 2010s that included replacement of the floor pans, a repaint in dark green, overhauls of the brakes and suspension, and a rebuild of the 4.2-liter inline-six.

Equipment includes a four-speed manual transmission, a black soft top, black leather upholstery, glass headlight covers, four-wheel disc brakes, a Panasonic AM/FM stereo, wood-rimmed steering wheel, and chrome knock-off wire wheels.

The car was featured in the book, E-Type 50: Fifty Years of a Design Icon. Included are the receipts beginning in 2006, a Production Record Trace Certificate, tool kit, jack, owner’s manual, and a clean Arizona title.

Exterior: Finished from the factory in Opalescent Dark Green, the car was repainted its current shade of dark green during the refurbishment and recently clear ceramic coated in December 2024. Exterior features include a louvered hood, a black soft top and boot cover, and glass headlight covers. Chrome 15” knock-off wire wheels are mounted with Vredestein Sprint Classic tires. A full-size spare is found in the trunk. The four-wheel disc brakes feature inboard-mounted rears and were overhauled during the refurbishment. The steering rack and suspension components were also replaced at that time, while the left parking brake caliper was repaired in May 2022.

Interior: The cabin houses seats trimmed in black leather with a matching dashboard and door panels. Replacement black carpets line the floors, and amenities include a Panasonic AM/FM radio, a height-adjustable rear-view mirror, lap belts, and a padded central arm rest. The seat height has been lowered by approximately 3/4”. A wood-rimmed steering wheel sits ahead of refurbished Smiths instrumentation that includes a rebuilt 160-mph speedometer, a 6k-rpm tachometer with an inset analog clock, and a suite of auxiliary gauges in the center stack. The five-digit odometer shows 26,703 miles, around 400 miles of which have been added during current ownership. Total mileage is unknown.

Engine: The 4.2-liter inline-six is equipped with triple SU carburetors and Pertronix electronic ignition. The engine was rebuilt during the refurbishment, and parts receipts provided in the gallery indicate the installation of .030″ over pistons with 9:1 compression. Work performed in May 2022 by The Jag Shop of Portland, Oregon included replacement of the tachometer generator and valve cover gaskets. Both exhaust manifolds have been ceramic coated (black). Engine block stamping 7E11911-9 matches the number shown on the chassis plate and Production Record Trace certificate.

Transmission: Power is sent to the rear wheels via a four-speed manual transmission that was fitted with a replacement clutch and resurfaced flywheel during the engine rebuild. The floor pans were replaced by Andre’s Foreign Car Service and Restoration of Salt Lake City, Utah. This XKE is beautifully restored, runs strong and rides on rails. One of the finest examples you will find. Inspections and test drives encouraged.
