Auction description:
1966 Jaguar E-Type OTS Roadster
VIN: 1E11516

This 1966 Jaguar E-Type OTS Convertible with just 43,547 miles on the odometer is one of the last Series I cars known with such low mileage. Most easily recognized by glass-covered headlights, small "mouth" opening at the front, signal lights and tail-lights above bumpers and exhaust tips under the license plate in the rear, the first E-Types are the car many people think of when one mentions a Jaguar sports car. This example, seen here in all black from the exterior paint to the top and leather interior cuts a very different pose than most XK-Es you will find today. With its authentic original 4.2 litre XK6 engine and a 4-speed manual transmission, this is still a high-performance sports car to wow its lucky owner after nearly forty-five years, the Series I E-Type represents the apogee of classic Jaguar racing lineage as well as the marque's sporting traditions on the open road.
