The 2+2 Fixed-Head Coupe version of the immortal E-Type (known as the XKE in America, where most examples were sold) was introduced in 1966. Nine inches longer and featuring a more vertical windscreen, it was equipped with a pair of small rear seats and a notably airy feel courtesy of its stretched wheelbase and raised roofline. It benefited from the same fully independent suspension, rack and pinion steering and disc brakes as its two-seater brethren. Powered by a 4235cc DOHC straight-six engine developing a quoted 265bhp and 283lbft of torque, it was the first E-type model to list automatic transmission as an option. Only in production for some three years, a mere 5,600 are thought to have been built.

The 1967 Jaguar E-Type 4.2 Series 1 2+2 Coupe offered here is a true British classic, boasting genuine UK origins. Originally delivered on 6th March 1967, this iconic automobile has been in the possession of its current owner since 2005. Throughout its history, this E-Type has been lovingly maintained and is now in mechanically excellent condition, running effortlessly. In 2017, this vintage Jaguar embarked on an adventure, making a memorable trip to Southern France and even paying homage to the legendary Le Mans race. Since then, it has been carefully stored in a dry and secure environment, preserving its original charm and integrity. One notable modification that enhances its overall appeal is the installation of a full stainless exhaust system, which not only adds to its longevity but also delivers a subtly improved performance. Although this Series 1 E-Type remains in impressive and mostly original condition, it is worth noting that it would benefit from a minor round of recommissioning work. A thorough service would ensure that all components are in optimal working order, guaranteeing reliability and longevity for this classic beauty. Additionally, a check of the brakes and related systems is recommended to ensure safe driving. With these modest recommissioning efforts, this E-Type has the potential to return to its former glory and once again become a highly usable classic car, ready to grace the roads and capture the admiration of enthusiasts and onlookers alike.
