1967 Jaguar E-type Series I Fixed Head Coupe

Please Read All

MotorCarTrader.com, LLC is proud to offer another truly great Jaguar E-type. This is a very special, low mileage and two owner 1967 Jaguar E-type Series I Coupe. This gorgeous car was manufactured on January 17th of 1967 in Carmen Red with Black Interior. It was dispatched on February 8 of 1967 and the first owner was Mr. E.G. Garvin. Mr. Garvin was a very meticulous owner. He kept a log of the work done to this car since the day he bought it on 10/6/1967. He then sold the car to the second owner on September 30th of 1973, who was also very meticulous as well and took exceptional care of this great Jaguar. We purchased this car from the second owner in the fall of 2013. The odometer currently reads 24,454.

This Jaguar E-type is a special find. She runs and drives perfect. This e-type is very fast, tight and everything feels just perfect. The ride is very comfortable and has excellent acceleration. There is not shaking in the steering wheel at any speed and the car stops straight and hard. The clutch feels great and the gearbox shift smoothly with no noises in any of the gears. If you are looking for a Jaguar E-type Series I Coupe that has the great original e-type driving experience and still feels like it is new, this is the car. I have driven a lot of etypes and this one if truly one of the best to drive. More information about this great car is as follows:    

  • The first owner (Mr. Garvin) drove the car about 27,000 miles. The car was sold to the second owner in 1973 that drove the car another 6,000 miles since. At 18,107 miles the Speedometer failed. The speedometer was replaced when the car was still under warranty, so to be completely accurate, the original miles are 9,000 miles more than the current reading because of the speedometer replacement at 18,107 miles.
  • The engine, gearbox, brakes, shocks and transmission are all exceptional. The engine compression on each cylinder is 1-165psi, 2-170psi, 3-170psi, 4-167psi, 5-165psi, 6-167psi. The oil pressure at idle or 700 rpm (no choke and at full driving temperature)  is 40 pounds.
  • All new shocks have been installed and new springs in the rear.
  • Gear reduction starter, lightened flywheel, new clutch and spin on oil filter have been installed.
  • Does not overheat and runs cool. Exhaust manifolds were ceramic coated inside and out for longevity.
  • All gauges, instruments and switches work as they should.
  • An older Blaupunkt cassette radio was installed with an electric antenna.
  • The original floors are excellent.
  • The spare tire compartment is very clean and one of the nicest original boot compartments you will find on one of these.  There is a new spare chrome wire wheel and tire to match the other 4 new chrome wire wheels on the car.
  • The chrome is excellent on the car. New front and rear bumper seals were recently installed. The rest of the rubber on the car looks nice.
  • A new stainless steel exhaust system was also recently installed.
  • The brake system was gone through with new brake calipers and lines in the front and rear.
  • The seats were recovered at one time and we believe the carpets were replaced.
  • The steering wheel was recently polished and revarnished.  
  • Included are the original tools with a new tool bag/roll (the original is included as well) and the original Metallifacture jack, Thor Hammer and jack ratchet.
  •  The paint overall looks excellent a few minor flaws here and there, but still looks stunning.  It looks to be lacquer paint and still has beautiful depth. The car grabs attention where ever it goes.
  • Bridgestone 205 tires were installed by the previous owner.
  • All matching numbers car with Jaguar Heritage Certificate included.
  • We have a copy of the original title, original operation, maintenance and service handbook. In the back of this book is where the original owner kept a service log of all the work done to the car until he sold it in 1973. Also, the original periodic maintenance voucher book is included. In addition, the Jaguar maintenance chart and original tire manufacturer paperwork are included in the original owners pouch.
  • We also have the bill of sale from the first owner to the second owner. Furthermore, we have a letter from the original owner to the second owner to highlight some specific maintenance tips with this car and some of its idiosyncrasies as all classic Jaguars have them.
  • This is a Series I open head lamp car. The Chassis number 1E 34113 produced on January 10th 1967 (a car which we sold last year) was the very first Fixed Head Coupe produced for North America with open headlamps. All fixed head coupes made for North America from here on had open headlamps (glass covered headlamps were discontinued on North American cars). The first open two-seater with open headlamps for North America was 1E 14532.   This is referenced in the great Jaguar E-type Book Factory Original Jaguar E-type: The originality guide to 3.8, 4.2 and V12 models by Anders Ditlev Clausager (Jaguar Archivist). The Chassis Number on this Jaguar is 1E 34140 (27 numbers after the first Coupe produced with open headlamps). This car was made a week after the first open headlamp coupe was made.

    This is truly a very special car. These Series I Fixed Head Coupes are difficult to find like this one with low mileage and great history. In addition to be being rare and unique history, it is a great car to to drive anywhere, and have an absolute blast every single mile. Without a doubt, a great addition or start to any collection.

    Weekly Recap: Chrysler forges ahead with new name, same mission

    Sat, Dec 20 2014

    Chrysler is history. Sort of. The 89-year-old automaker was absorbed into the Fiat Chrysler Automobiles conglomerate that officially launched this fall, and now the local operations will no longer use the Chrysler Group name. Instead, it's FCA US LLC. Catchy, eh? Here's what it means: The sign outside Chrysler's Auburn Hills, MI, headquarters says FCA (which it already did) and obviously, all official documents use the new name, rather than Chrysler. That's about it. The executives, brands and location of the headquarters aren't changing. You'll still be able to buy a Chrysler 200. It's just made by FCA US LLC. This reinforces that FCA is one company going forward – the seventh largest automaker in the world – not a Fiat-Chrysler dual kingdom. While the move is symbolic, it is a conflicting moment for Detroiters, though nothing is really changing. Chrysler has been owned by someone else (Daimler, Cerberus) for the better part of two decades, but it still seemed like it was Chrysler in the traditional sense: A Big 3 automaker in Detroit. Now, it's clearly the US division of a multinational industrial empire; that's good thing for its future stability, but bittersweet nonetheless. Undoubtedly, it's an emotion that's also being felt at Fiat's Turin, Italy, headquarters as the company will no longer officially be called Fiat there. Digest that for a moment. What began in 1899 as the Societa Anonima Fabbrica Italiana di Automobili Torino – or FIAT – is now FCA Italy SpA. In a statement, FCA said the move "is intended to emphasize the fact that all group companies worldwide are part of a single organization." The new names are the latest changes orchestrated by CEO Sergio Marchionne, who continues to makeover FCA as an international automaker that has ties to its heritage – but isn't tied down by it. Everything from the planned spinoff of Ferrari, a new FCA headquarters in London and the pending demise of the Dodge Grand Caravan in 2016 has shown that the company is willing to move quickly, even if it's controversial. While renaming the United States and Italian divisions were the moves most likely to spur controversy, FCA said other regions across the globe will undergo similar name changes this year. Despite the mixed emotions, it's worth noting: The name of the merged company that oversees all of these far-flung units is Fiat Chrysler Automobiles. Obviously the Chrysler corporate name isn't completely history.

    Jaguar C-X75 production run canceled

    Tue, 11 Dec 2012

    "We feel we could make the car work, but looking at the global austerity measures in place now, it seems the wrong time to launch an 800,000-pound to 1 million-pound supercar."
    Those words are from Jaguar Global Brand Director Adrian Hallmark, and as true as they may be, it still stings a little bit. After all, we've been looking forward to the Jaguar C-X75 ever since word came from Jolly Olde that it was green-lit for a short production run.
    Some of the cool bits and pieces the world will now be without: a powerful but relatively miserly 1.6-liter turbocharged and supercharged four-cylinder engine, two electric motors driving all four wheels and a carbon fiber chassis developed by Williams F1. Sigh.

    2018 Jaguar F-Pace S is a fun but thirsty travel companion

    Fri, Dec 22 2017

    I love road trips. I've moved across the country twice, spending weeks living out of my car, eating granola bars and sucking down energy drinks like it was finals week all over again. I get a huge kick out of calculating fuel economy, stretching out tanks of gas or diesel until the low-fuel light begins to sear itself into my retinas. I try to take each and every one of our long-term vehicles on some such trip. Not long after our 2017 Jaguar F-Pace S arrives, my wife and I decided to see some family in Asheville, North Carolina, roughly 10 hours and 700 miles from our home in suburban Detroit. Now, I knew from the outset this was going to be a far different experience than our previous long-termer, a 2017 Jaguar XE diesel. I managed to eek out nearly 700 miles per tank, averaging 42 mpg over 2,000 miles with that car. But the 380-horsepower supercharged V6 in the F-Pace is rated at 18 city/23 highway with a combined rating of just 20 mpg. Not good, and — unlike the XE — I didn't think I could do much better without greatly altering my admittedly aggressive driving habits. Still, I wanted to take our blue bomber to the Blue Ridge Parkway, so onward I went. There were a few other things I was worried about over what was sure to be another 2,000-mile trip. The F-Pace's suspension was a bit stiff thanks to the sporty S trim. The 20-inch wheels don't help matters, though things could be worse (some people on staff wanted to get 22s). At least they look good. Still, the seats are comfortable and the radio is top-notch. LCD Soundsystem's latest album had just come out, so I put it on repeat and headed south. The first part of the trip was going to be both the most boring and the most economical. The roads in Michigan and Ohio are flat and straight. It isn't until you hit Kentucky and head into the Appalachian Mountains that things get interesting. Just set the radar cruise control and barrel down Interstate 75 with as much urgency as you dare. I forgot my Valentine One at home. The ride was firm but not as bad as I imagined it might be, at least once we got off of Michigan's pockmarked pavement. The F-Pace tracked straight and true, but I became acutely aware that the steering wheel itself was out of alignment, leaning just slightly to the left. Fuel economy was fine, but I was just meeting the EPA estimate, not beating it like I usually manage to do.
