Originally delivered by special order in "triple black"

Correct tool kit, jack, and original factory hardtop

Matching numbers; documented by a JDHT Certificate

Only 14,000 original miles

Concours restoration by marque specialists

The Series 1 4.2-Litre Roadster offered here is documented by its Jaguar Daimler Heritage Trust Certificate as having been originally delivered to Excel Electric Supply, of California, finished in special-ordered Black with a matching interior, soft-top, and factory hardtop. It remained in the hands of its original owner until the late 1960s and was then acquired by its second owner as a "second car." After he started a family, the car was put into storage, where it remained until his passing over 40 years later. A concours-quality restoration was then begun, to see the car returned to its original glamour.

Refinished in its original colors and with correct materials, the body can now only be described as exquisite, with doors that close beautifully along perfect panel gaps and excellent glass-smooth paintwork and brightwork. The engine was rebuilt and, as can be expected of an engine with 14,000 miles, retains its standard bores and crankshaft, as well as a perfect original cylinder head. It is smooth and quiet while delivering great torque. The gearbox was disassembled to replace dried-up seals and gaskets; the differential was rebuilt for the same reasons, with gearing changed to 3.31 to improve the driving experience. New wiring harnesses and associated items were installed, and the brake system incorporates new master and wheel cylinders. New wheels, shod in proper Dunlop sport tires, were also fitted.

Supplied with a correct tool kit, jack, and its JDHT Certificate, as well as a letter from the previous owner testifying to the mileage and the original chassis plate, this is an ideal Jaguar to join a lovely collection or display in a concours event. After all, original California E-Types, in "triple black" with a hardtop and only 14,000 miles, do not come around often, if ever again.

Professional Restoration by Marque Expert Shaun Saunders

Stunning Triple-Black Livery and Presentation

Accompanied by JDHT Certificate, Hardtop, Manuals, Jack, and Tool Kit

One of the Finest Variants of the Celebrated E-Type

A Beautifully Restored Example of Jaguar’s Masterpiece

This sublime 1966 Roadster was sold new to Excel Electric Supply Co., in California, finished in desirable triple black with a factory hardtop. Following 40 years of storage by its second owner, the car was comprehensively restored to concours standards by the renowned specialist Shaun Saunders. All aspects of the Jaguar were attended to with an uncommon level of care, with deviations from original specification limited to a 3.31:1 final-drive ratio and new 72-spoke wire wheels. Purchased by the consignor in 2017, the Jaguar has since received fastidious care as part of his world-class collection of sports and classic cars.

The numbers matching 4.2 Litre engine was given a full rebuild and powers this stunning E-type Roadster today with just as much ease at it did when it was new!
