Lot 176
1966 JAGUAR E-TYPE SERIES 1 4.2 ROADSTER

Chassis no. 1E13415
Engine no. 7E9990-9

On August 23rd, 1966, this elegant E-Type Roadster rolled off the Coventry assembly line, finished in Opalescent Dark Green paint over a Suede Green interior with a French Grey convertible top. The desirable left hand drive, covered-headlight Series 1 E-Type Roadster was fitted with Jaguar's 4.2-liter inline-six and the fully synchronized 4-speed manual transmission. Shortly after production, the new E-type was shipped to the United States, where it was sold through Jaguar Cars of New York to a Mr. Frank Spivey. It remains unclear for how long Mr. Spivey owned the E-Type, but it is believed that the car has had just three subsequent owners up until today.

In 2005 the Roadster received a comprehensive restoration by noted Jaguar specialist Lloyd Gillespie of Jacksonville, Florida. Utilizing genuine Jaguar parts wherever possible, the E-Type was treated to a rotisserie refurbishment of the bodywork, during which time the color combination was changed to the charming Opalescent Red over a Biscuit interior. Delicate modern enhancements were made to increase reliability, including installation of maintenance free electronic ignition, additional cooling fans, and a stainless steel exhaust system. While in the consignor's ownership, the Jaguar has benefitted from another mechanical and cosmetic freshening by the specialists at Predator Performance in Tampa, Florida.

In very fine condition throughout, the E-Type's brightwork and paint has a brilliant shine and the supple interior leather reflects a wonderful, lightly used look as this Jaguar has covered only about 2,000 miles since its restoration. This classic Series 1 E-Type still retains its original, numbers-matching engine block and cylinder head, as confirmed by the Jaguar Heritage Trust Certificate accompanying the car. Furthermore, a tool set and owner's manuals, as well as a comprehensive file documenting the car's restoration and service work accompany the sale. This very attractive 4.2-liter Series 1 E-Type Roadster would be a great candidate to show at JCNA events, or simply to enjoy on Sunday drives. A very fine example of one of Jaguar's finest models, and boasting arguably the best specification for the classic E-Type, this Roadster is undeniably a charmer.

At this time, the original engine was also rebuilt. In 2014 the Jaguar benefitted from another mechanical freshening by the specialists at Predator Performance in Tampa, Florida.

In very fine condition throughout, the E-Type's brightwork and paint has a brilliant shine, and the supple interior leather reflects a wonderful, lightly used look commensurate with the careful use this Jaguar has seen since its restoration. This superb E-Type retains its original, numbers-matching engine block and cylinder head, as confirmed by the Jaguar Heritage Trust Certificate accompanying the car. Furthermore, a tool set and owner's manuals, as well as a file documenting the car's restoration and service work accompany the sale.
