There is no question that Jaguar’s Series I E-Type is one of the most beautiful automobiles ever designed, and its performance was on a par with its appearance. Today, examples have been added to many of the world’s most significant collections, but a precious few have been loyal partners to long-term owners – and are all the better for it.

The purchase of a new Jaguar Mark II Saloon in 1965 changed the course of the consignor’s life, and that of his wife. The introduction to the lively Jaguar community in Northern California in the mid-1960s led the couple to become officers in their local Jaguar club, establish lasting friendships, embark on countless adventures, and in 1968, it led them to the very special E-Type offered here.

The consignor reports that this Cream over Black Roadster was first owned by a member of Thailand’s royal family while attending Stanford University in the San Francisco Bay Area. The prince is said to have enjoyed the car particularly in light of its limited interior space, giving him time a bit further away from his bodyguards. Before returning home, the prince sold the Jaguar in 1968. It was joyously acquired by the consignor, who was elected president of the Jaguar Associate Group that year, while running his own architectural practice. Soon after his purchase, he upgraded his new prize with a set of five new Borrani wire wheels, which remain on the car today, giving it an aggressive, competition-style presence.

The E-Type became the car the young couple would take on countless rallies throughout the western states, enjoying its open-air design through majestic destinations such as California’s Yosemite Valley and Lake Tahoe. When it was not earning a trophy at a local Jaguar meet, it also served as a carpool shuttle – in the days before seat belt laws – for as many as four elementary school-aged children at a time. All along the way, the owner recorded every tank of gas in spiral notebooks, accompanying the car, and calculated his average mileage at the bottom of each page.

In late 1994, the E-Type was retired to the couple’s garage, with 112,749 miles, still wearing its original paint, as it does today, according to the consignor. 22 years later, having befriended exalted E-Type authority Dave Ferguson of Images Auto Body in nearby Campbell, California, the Jaguar emerged from its dry storage and was mechanically reworked, while maintaining its original character. Invoices on file show that the gearbox and suspension were serviced, and the Jaguar’s original engine was renewed, top and bottom as necessary. In addition, an aluminum radiator was installed, the carburetors were rebuilt, and the dash received a new wiring harness.

Following the car’s return to the road, the owner and his wife have again enjoyed open-road adventures in the E-Type, but now in his 53rd year of ownership, and well into his eighties, they have decided that it is time to let another fortunate enthusiast take over ownership. Still registered on its 1968-issued license plates, this is a very special E-Type, one that has enriched its owner’s life since he was a young man. In thanks, he has made sure his car survived the years intact, much as he has himself – with stories to tell, and new adventures ahead.

This 1967 Jaguar E-Type Series 1 roadster was reportedly purchased new by a Thai prince to drive while attending Stanford University. The current owner, an officer and long-time president of the Jaguar Associate Group, bought it in 1968. Finished in Cream over black leather, the car is powered by a 4.2-liter inline-six paired with a four-speed manual transmission. Equipment includes a black convertible top, 15″ wire wheels, four-wheel disc brakes, triple SU carburetors, and a Blaupunkt multi-band radio. A mechanical overhaul was completed in 2016. This E-Type roadster is now offered on behalf of the owner with a Jaguar Heritage Trust certificate, California black plates, and a California title.

The car is finished in Cream, and exterior equipment includes glass headlight covers, split chrome bumpers with bumperettes, a louvered forward-hinging hood, bullet-style side mirrors, and dual exhaust outlets. The black convertible top is a replacement, and California black license plates are mounted at the front and rear.

Chrome 15″ wire-spoke wheels secure with two-eared knock-off hubs and wear 185/65 Mohave Touring A/S tires. A spare wire wheel is stored in the trunk compartment. Stopping power is provided by four-wheel disc brakes with inboard rear rotors. In 2016, the brake calipers were rebuilt and the rotors, master cylinder, servo, and brake lines were replaced. The rear radius arms, tie rods, and tie-rod ends were also replaced.

The bucket seats have been reupholstered in black leather, and the carpeting was replaced. Interior appointments include a wood-rimmed steering wheel, a dash-mounted rearview mirror, manual crank windows, a locking glove compartment, and a Blaupunkt multi-band radio.

Smiths instrumentation consists of a 160-mph speedometer and a tachometer with an inset analog clock. Gauges for coolant temperature, oil pressure, fuel level, and Lucas amperage are mounted across the central dashboard. The five-digit odometer shows 13k miles. Handwritten service logbook entries from 1968 and 1969 record mileage readings exceeding 39k miles. Total mileage is unknown.

The 4.2-liter inline-six is equipped with polished camshaft covers and triple SU carburetors. During the 2016 overhaul, the crankshaft was ground and balanced, and the carburetors, distributor, and oil filter head were rebuilt. The timing chains, crankshaft damper, main and connecting-rod bearings, and cooling hoses were replaced, as were the main and bonnet wiring harnesses.

Cylinder head stamping 7E9338-9 matches the engine number on the chassis tag and the Heritage certificate.

Power is routed to the rear wheels via a four-speed manual transmission. The gearbox was rebuilt and the clutch was replaced in 2016, and the driveshaft was balanced and fitted with universal joints.

The Jaguar Heritage Trust certificate lists factory serial numbers, original colors, and a dispatch date of August 3, 1966. A cantilever jack, a Thor knock-off hammer, service invoices, historical logs, and California black plates are included in the sale.

The California pink slip appends a J67 prefix to the chassis number, 1E13271
