1967 JAGUAR E-TYPE 4.2 Series 1 Open Headlight  2+2

I would like to start by saying what a rare and solid example this car is.. with only 2644  2+2 models made between 66-67 and even fewer being open headlight models that make her one rare cat..

she is a 2 owner car and this is her story as told to me by the owners son..his dad bought the car in 1990 and spent 2 years and a good deal of money having her motor, transmission, cooling system, and fuel system all restored by a local jaguar restoration shop and by this time she was in need of a paint job so he decided to change her to white to help keep her cool on those hot summer days..by the time he registered her in 1992 she had 77236 original miles on her.. he told me that it was his dads pride and joy and he only took her out on weekends.. then his dad had a bad stroke in 1993 leaving him unable to drive his beloved Jag.. And he didnt want to sell it because he thought he might get well enough to drive it again.. he never did and the car sat for 21 years till his death in October, 2012..

i bought the car with the intention of doing a nut and bolt restoration on her, but just 2 days ago found the car of my dreams a 1968 Shelby gt 500.. and i don't have the time, space, money, to do 2 nut and bolt resto's and mamma says you can only have one so the kitty cats gotts go...After i picked up the Jag i put her on blocks and removed the spinners and wheels to give me more room to get around and under her.. from what i can tell the man was telling me the truth.. the motor looks to be a fresh rebuild as does the transmission and the new fuel tank in the trunk supports his claim.. so with that in mind i decided to try something out.i pulled the plugs which were like new and turned the motor over by hand and that got me thinking..i did an over all inspection after filling the radiator i noticed water coming out of the 2 little hoses from the firewall to the heater so i replaced it and it held water, i checked the oil which looked new and was full, so moved on to the transmission and it was full and clean, so on to the fuel system and cleaned the glass fuel filter and blew out the line from the trunk forward,,decided to put in a couple gallons of fuel and battery and when i turned the key i heard the pump pumping but i didnt get any fuel to the filter ( probly cloged at a fitting).. so for the sake of my test i grabed my electric pump hooked it up to the fuel line in the trunk and the other end in a gas can and turned the key again and the glass filter up front filled up with fuel... so i pumped the pedal a couple times and hit the start button.. and about fell out of the car when she fired up.. i let her run for about 30 seconds and then mamma noticed fuel coming from the su carbs overflow hoses.. i knew it would need alittle work to get her running but never thought she would fire up that easy on the first try..

She is not perfect she has a couple dents and dings not bad for her years she needs some interior attention and a paint job, a set of tires and some general maintenance to be road worthy and she would make a nice daily cruiser..but she is solid and the power train is all original and matching numbers and with such low production numbers  she is a great candidate for a complete nut and bolt resto....

here are her numbers....CHASSIS#  1E 77436    BODY#  4E 53333    ENGINE#  7E 53359-9    GEAR BOX#  EJS 13940 

ANY QUESTIONS..CALL DAVE...702-645-1676


On May-24-13 at 13:58:12 PDT, seller added the following information

this is a rare car it was even ordered radio delete..it still has the original radio block off plate and the 2 covers where the speakers would go in the back and the 2 grill covers where the 2 speakers would go up front...and there is no antena hole in the rear quarter where it would be..

 

 

Less widely known, right at the end of Series 1 production and prior to the transitional "Series 1 1/2 " referred to below, a very small number of Series 1 cars were produced with open headlights.[11] Production dates on these machines vary but in right hand drive form production has been verified as late as March 1968.[12] The low number of these cars produced make them amongst the rarest of all production E Types.

Following the Series 1 there was a transitional series of cars built in 1967–1968, unofficially called "Series 1 1/2 ", which are externally similar to Series 1 cars. Due to American pressure the new features were open headlights, different switches, and some de-tuning (using two Zenith-Stromberg carburetters instead of the original three SUs) for US models. Some Series 1 1/2 cars also have twin cooling fans and adjustable seat backs. Series 2 features were gradually introduced into the Series 1, creating the unofficial Series 1 1/2 cars, but always with the Series 1 body style.............from wikipedia

Cat Scratch Fever: Jaguar's turnaround looks toward the US

Fri, Oct 9 2015

It is ironic that a British car company, steeped in the European sports-car tradition and now owned by an Indian industrial conglomerate, will ambitiously be seeking to attract customers in the United States with, of all things, a truck. But there it is: Jaguar's beefy F-Pace crossover, the first SUV in the company's 80-year history, hit the ground last month at the Frankfurt motor show. The F-Pace – along with the new XE sedan designed to take on the BMW 3 Series and Audi A4 both in Europe and on these shores – is spearheading the brand's hoped-for turnaround on this side of the Pond. In the States, Jaguar is still a big player for Tata Motors of India, which bought Jaguar Land Rover from Ford for $2.3 billion after months of back-and-forth negotiations in 2008. It seemed like an incredibly brassy move at the time, when the economy worldwide was reeling and Britain's automotive industry was on its heels. And while the Jaguar brand name has a grand historical resonance, in the first nine months of 2015 it moved just over 11,000 cars in the US, down five percent for the same period the previous year. But if Porsche can capitalize on SUV sales, so can Jaguar. The tea leaves are promising come next spring, when both new premium luxury models arrive in the US. The F-Pace will have a starting price of about $43,000; the sedan range starts at a competitive $35,000. View 25 Photos Architecturally, both models are similar, with a modular aluminum chassis, and, for the F-Pace, a range of gasoline and diesel engines for Europe as well as rear- or all-wheel drive. For the American market, the model-year 2017 crossover will launch with a 380-horsepower gasoline V6 mated to an eight-speed transmission and all-wheel drive. Later in 2016, a 180-hp four-cylinder Ingenium diesel is expected to be added to the lineup. Both models are currently built in the UK, although if demand increases, Jaguar is likely to shift some production to Brazil, China, or Eastern Europe. I wanted a Jaguar that was designed as a crossover, not the other way round. For Jaguar design director Ian Callum, who showed up at the SUV's formal debut in Frankfurt, skepticism – did we mention that Jaguar was a sports-car company? – turned to enthusiasm as his team worked to develop some "drama" in the SUV's shape. "I wanted a Jaguar that was designed as a crossover, not the other way round," he said.

Jaguar has something special planned for Goodwood

Mon, 23 Jun 2014

It's been barely a week since JLR announced its new Special Operations division, dedicated to creating limited-run halo cars and custom creations for both the Jaguar and Land Rover brands. Now the British automaker has confirmed the debut of the division's first project.
We don't know what it is, exactly, that Jaguar will be bringing to the Goodwood Festival of Speed later this week, but we bet it'll be exciting. If we were the betting kind, we'd put our money on some kind of hot-rod F-Type, but we'll just have to wait and see.
Alongside whatever JLR Special Operations has got cooking, Coventry will also be bringing the new F-Type R Coupe and XFR-S Sportbrake to run up the hill alongside a whole slew of classic and racing Jaguars, including a pair of D-Types, a Group 44 E-Type, a Group A XJS and the reunion of XJR-9 and Andy Wallace that last saw each other on the top step of the podium at Le Mans in 1988.

Recharge Wrap-up: Jaguar Land Rover talks EVs, Batteries should be modular

Wed, Sep 3 2014

A new study out of Germany suggests adopting a modular approach to battery offerings in plug-in hybrid and extended range electric vehicles. Automakers could offer the same car with different battery sizes (and different costs, accordingly) to drivers depending on their driving ranges. This would optimize the total cost of ownership for various drivers better than the current approach. Developing a modular battery design and offering appropriate batteries for different customers "is the key for electric powertrains to meet customer expectations and become cost competitive against conventional technologies," according to the report from the Institute of Vehicle Concepts, German Aerospace Center. Learn more at Green Car Congress. Jaguar and Land Rover are looking to offer more electric driving from their vehicles. Wolfgang Ziebart, head of product development for Jaguar Land Rover, said in an interview that its hybrid system is being tweaked for more electric power and "downsized" combustion. He also said the likely target market for EVs would be second and third vehicles, rather than primary vehicles for urban driving. Within that market, Europeans look for something smaller, while American drivers lean toward larger luxury vehicles for their second car. Ziebart uses the Tesla Model S as an example of American tastes, and compares its size to that of the Jaguar XJ. Read more at Automotive News Europe. Thailand will likely approve a Volkswagen factory as early as next week. A German newspaper suggests that Thailand's Board of Investment is set to greenlight the plant, which is planned for a site near the Port of Bangkok. Thailand is a relatively large and growing auto manufacturing country, which seeks to be a major producer of eco-friendly vehicles. The country's "Eco2" program would provide incentives to Volkswagen if it builds clean cars and meets certain production targets. Read more at Reuters. Formula E has chosen Sky Deutschland for broadcasting rights in the German market. The deal includes television rights, as well as online broadcasting. Sky Deutschland has 3.8 million subscribers in Germany and Austria. Showing the races on Germany's largest pay television provider should help generate interest for the series, particularly the Berlin ePrix - the inaugural season's penultimate race - scheduled for May 30, 2015.
