Description
Lot #445 - The 1965-1967 Jaguar XKE Series 1 4.2-liter Open Two Seater (OTS) is considered by many to be the most desirable and useable variant of the E-Type range. This model offers a host of improvements over its earlier 3.8-liter counterpart, which include a full synchromesh gearbox, power-assisted servo brakes, better and more comfortable seats, improved electrical system and a new 4.2-liter engine with more torque and tractability. This example is finished in the spectacular color scheme of black with light beige leather trim with a matching cloth top and black top boot. It has completed under 1,000 miles since its complete restoration by a previous owner in 2011. It boasts a full, matching-numbers, rebuilt drivetrain and a long California history from new, as evidenced by its original black-and-yellow license plates. Enhancements over standard specs include Brembo 4-pot front calipers, high-lift camshafts with performance headers, aluminum radiator with auxiliary cooling fan, and slightly wider tires and wheels, making this car truly a driver's E-Type. Vehicle includes reprint of owner's manual and rare, full tool kit. This lovely example runs and drives extremely well and presents a rare opportunity to acquire a highly desirable matching-numbers, California roadster in one of the best color schemes.
