1966 JAGUAR XKE SERIES I ROADSTER

This matching-numbers 1966 Jaguar XKE Series I E-Type roadster is powered by a rebuilt 4.2-liter inline-6 engine paired with the 4-speed manual transmission original to the car. Triple SU carburetors breathe through foam-capped velocity stacks rather than the factory air cleaner, while stainless headers and side-exit pipes have replaced the original exhaust. The negative ground electrical system features an alternator rather than the generator equipped on earlier cars, and a Crane Cams electronic ignition has also been fitted. Power-assisted disc brakes are inboard at the rear and the car received a new booster, lines and stainless-lined caliper pistons from White Post Restoration. A cosmetic and mechanical refurbishment performed over the last 8 years has included new paint, replica Dunlop Racing wheels, and a fresh interior with new leather and rebuilt gauges. The car was restored in 2018 and finished in black. This Classic Series 1 still has its remaining chrome trim, including on the twin bullet sideview mirrors. The car received a new windshield, and the black canvas folding top fits. A boot for top-down storage is also provided alongside a tonneau cover. The dash houses Series 1 toggle switches and chrome hardware. It features a wood-rimmed aluminum steering wheel, and a wooden shift knob has been fitted. Black-ringed factory gauges were rebuilt by Nisonger Instruments. The heater box has been removed due to disuse, as has the radio console. It features black and silver under the hood, including most fasteners and ancillary items. Just months ago, a complete restoration was done to the interior and trunk, including a 'period-correct' full leather interior crafted by Ed 'The Stitch Doctor' of Hi Class Customs. The included Jaguar Heritage Trust Certificate lists original chassis #1E12155, body #4E3588, engine #7E7084-9 and manual gearbox #EJ6266.

Powered by a 4.2-liter inline 6-cylinder engine paired with a 4-speed manual transmission. Accompanied by the original chassis, body, engine and manual gearbox. Includes Jaguar Heritage Trust Certificate.
