1967 Jaguar XKE Series I 4.2 Roadster 4-Speed

A sought-after final year example, this 1967 Jaguar XKE Series I 4.2 Roadster pairs evocative styling and top equipment of the era with comprehensive high-caliber refurbishment. Dark Green over Black leather, this Roadster’s matching soft-top roof opens to finely trimmed two-passenger bucket seating and tactile 60’s faire beneath. North American-market Smiths instruments sit behind a wood-rimmed steering wheel, showing an odometer reading of 26k mi (TMU). Auxiliary gauges and switchgear fill out the center stack flowing down to a Panasonic AM/FM radio. 

The model’s signature forward-opening hood conceals rebuilt 4.2L inline six power fed by triple SU carburetors. Subtle enhancements to its numbers-matching engine and drivetrain include Pertronix electronic ignition and .030 pistons, boosting reliability while lending a slight increase in displacement and 9:1 compression. 4-speed manual shifting, disc brakes, and chrome knock-off wire wheels complete a wish-list of midcentury performance hardware. Vredestein Sprint Classic tires driven just 2k miles in total bring sure-footed modern grip with period-correct aesthetics. 

Ready to be driven and enjoyed or preserved as part of a collection, this remarkably restored icon arrives well-sorted for its next caretaker. Work completed under previous ownership further includes past floor pan replacement, overhaul of suspension and braking systems, a new clutch/resurfaced flywheel, new convertible top, and ceramic coating. Extensive records from current and previous ownership, a Production Record Trace Certificate, tools, and more accompany the sale.

 

 

Delivered new to Toronto, Ontario, Canada, this stunning XKE arrives with documented history backing impressive condition throughout. Following a mid-2000's restoration, this example was later featured in 'E-Type 50: Fifty Years of a Design Icon', published in 2011. The vehicle is currently located in Glendale, California.
