No car caused more excitement worldwide upon its introduction as the Jaguar XKE did upon its unveiling at the 1961 Geneva Motor Show. So dramatic was its presentation that more than a few moneyed individuals dropped pending commitments to fly to Switzerland and place their order in person. Lithe of line and achingly sensuous in appearance, the E-Type was rooted in the famed multiple Le Mans-winning D-Type, comprising a central monocoque with tubular steel subframes carrying the drivetrain and suspension systems.
The E-Type’s timeless styling made it an instant classic, but its performance bore out its racing pedigree with a top speed of 150 MPH and silky-smooth road manners that have thrilled generations of enthusiasts. Close scrutiny reveals this 1965 Jaguar E-Type Series I Roadster to be a standout example after the completion of a recent restoration. Built on September 16, 1964, and distributed through Jaguar Cars of New York, it has been in the care of the same family for nearly 30 years, and it was refurbished for the first time in 1990. A California car, it was reportedly dismantled and taken to bare metal for proper preparation and repainted in Opalescent Maroon.
It features a new, black, leather interior including the door panels, carpet and soft top, a padded center armrest, a windshield-mounted rearview mirror, a JVC stereo with Polk Audio speakers and Jaguar-branded floor mats. All chrome pieces were triple plated for virtually flawless as-new appearance. Riding on Coker Classic Redline tires mounted on beautiful chromed 15-inch wire wheels, this E-Type also shows off a detailed, as-new undercarriage with new suspension, brakes, bushings and stainless steel exhaust.
In October 2021, its 4.2L twin-cam inline-6 engine was fully rebuilt to factory specifications, with the block and cylinder head reconditioned, the triple SU carburetors rebuilt and internals renewed, including replacing the head studs, seals and engine mounts. The 4-speed manual transmission was likewise rebuilt at the same time with replacement bearings, synchronizers and seals, and installed with a new clutch, all using NOS parts wherever possible. Documentation for this fabulous Series I E-Type roadster includes invoices and a British Heritage Trust Certificate.
