This car should be titled as a '68. All '68 cars have rocker switches S2 style interior and engine compartment with 2 stromberg carburettors, this was a federal safety and emissions mandate. No '67 cars had these features. Many '67 cars did have open headlights. Nothing to do with California, all cars got this beginning in January of '67.

This car is among the very last Series 1 E-types (1 of only 2,328 issued around the world in 1968); before the Series 2 the following year. This numbers-matching open headlight, late Series 1—colloquially known as a Series 1.5—Jaguar E-Type Roadster was built on December 21, 1967, and left the Browns Lane factory in Coventry just about a month later on the 19th of January in 1968, which effectively made it a 1968 model year, and was imported through Jaguar Cars of New York. This Open Two Seater has been restored to its original colors of Opalescent Maroon exterior with Black leather interior and a black convertible top. While the early history of this Jaguar is not known, it is believed that the car eventually made its way to California where it received a complete rotisserie restoration.

Devoid of the large taillights, heavy bumpers, and additional fittings that came to be a hallmark of later E-Types, the Series 1.5 retains the good looks and style only found in the Series 1, with only minor detail differences. The restoration was performed to a high standard and still presents well today. According to the consignor, the car received some additional refurbishment between 2013 and 2015 ensuring it was sorted, and the seller reports it runs and drives well. Notable features include a wood rimmed steering wheel, Blaupunkt radio, stainless steel exhaust, triple SU carburetors, chrome wire wheels wrapped in Vredstein tires and more. The car is well detailed and the interior quite tidy.

Accompanied by its jack, some tools, service handbook, tonneau cover and its Jaguar Daimler Heritage Trust Certificate, an ear-to-ear grin is virtually guaranteed once out on the open road with the top down in this sleek Jag. A wonderful example in an appealing color combination, this E-Type presents an excellent opportunity to acquire a classic Jaguar roadster to savor on the open road.
