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.
