"1967 Jaguar XKE Series 1 Roadster
""The greatest motor car of all time. The most iconic classic car ever. Sensational. Unique. Ahead of its time. Take your pick. Every description is fair. The Jaguar E-type is still lauded decades after its launch at 4.30pm at the Parc Des Eaux Vives in Geneva on 15 March 1961. The E-type stunned the world with its futuristic and curvaceous styling, its advanced mechanical specifications and real world price. To say that the automotive press was shocked at the first sighting of the E-type Jaguar is an understatement. The Malcolm Sayer design was simply unlike any motor car ever seen – achingly beautiful but clearly also absolutely functional."" Octane-magazine.com
For consignment, a 1967 Jaguar XKE series 1 roadster showing 68,731 miles, but the true miles are unknown. This car was completely restored in 1988 and the headlights were never covered on this late '67 car and since prior to the '68 implementation mandate, makes it a rare feature for this true Series 1 car.
Exterior
A version in Warwick Gray, the sleek, long nose and pointed tail of this classic is iconic and timeless. The entire bonnet pivots forward and the result is a sharp and distinctive line that borders the cowl panel, bordered on the other side by the door's edge. Hood vents flank the graceful bulge on the hood that points to the oval grille opening, synonymous with Jaguar, and headlights inset in black lined, chrome trimmed cylinders. Shapes are gently mirrored in the back as the tubular chrome bumper rounds around the license plate box while exotic tail lights hug the corners, reflected in the robust chrome bumper below. Of course, those quad exhaust tips put an exclamation point on the design and a luggage rack on the boot suggests picnics in the Cotswolds rather than laps around Goodwood. 15-inch wire wheels are a must, of course, and the black canvas top is in good shape with one patch repair noted. Imperfections include some chipped paint on the exterior edge of the door sill, some splotches in the paint, some crackling by a wheel, and some rust spots on the spoke nipples and rims of the wheels.
Interior
Smooth Navy Blue leather covers the inner doors, handle, and even the wide sills and it's all in nice condition. Bomber style bucket seats wear pleated blue leather and contrast the smooth presentation on the center console and armrest. Holes decorate the spokes of the sport steering wheel and its wooden rim which frames the glass fronted gauges ahead of the driver under a dash pad with some loose skin, but fully intact. More gauges are housed in the center console, cleanly accompanied by a row of toggles and the ignition port. Below that, a Kenwood AM/FM/Cassette player very close to the shifter housing where a small tear is noted along with a leather boot that shows patina. Plush blue carpet covers the floor along with matching mats and carpet also provides the floor of the package shelf behind the seats, with a pair of speakers nearby. The shallow but long trunk is lined with a fitted tan floor cover which shows bits of use.
Drivetrain
Under the hood, the legendary and attractive 4.2 liter DOHC inline six cylinder producing 266 horsepower. It receives fuel through 3 Stromberg SU carburetors and is set into motion via a 4-speed manual transmission that sends power to the rear axle with 3.54 gears.
Undercarriage
We find driver quality conditions underneath with some surface rust, oil on the rear differential that migrated down to an exhaust pipe, and some build up on the rear wheel components. There is also an area of rust and a former repair on the left belly pan. Dual exhaust flow through stock style mufflers on their way to the epic exit and disc brakes are found on all four wheels. Both front and back suspension is independent and consists of coil springs in the rear and torsion bars up front.
Drive-Ability
The lovely exhaust tones of the 4.2 are what sports car dreams are made of and we row this gray beauty onto the test loop where we note that gears engage high on the pedal travel rather than at the low or midpoint. Beyond that, the engine runs well, the car tracks true, and handling is everything you'd expect from a high caliber British roadster. The big takeaway is that all functions on board operate as intended, although we notice the clutch is on its way out, however it is not slipping at this point, so we rolled this bit of royal goodness back to the mall. While Classic Auto Mall represents that these functions were working at the time of our test drive, we cannot guarantee these functions will be working at the time of your purchase.
Series 1 Roadsters are some of the most desirable cars in the collector world and this one exemplifies beauty and performance wrapped in an amazing design. It can be mistaken for no other car and if you're the social type, just know there are Jaguar enthusiast clubs all over the world, and probably in your town. You've always dreamed about owning one and now it's time to join that exclusive group.
