Here is a nice 1967 Jaguar series 1 E-type roadster that I can never find the time to enjoy anymore; I hope someone else will. This car has the 4.2 litre 6 cylinder, triple SU-carburetted motor that is rated at 265 horses, with a consistent compression of 150 psi. It is fitted with a borg-warner 3 speed automatic transmission. The engine runs very well and the carbs have behaved very nicely in the years I have owned the car. The car began life as a 2+2 coupe, but was converted with all steel panels during a prior restoration, when it was painted to it's present Britsh Racing Green. The interior is in very nice condition, the leather is supple and tear-free, the carpets and door panels and related chrome are very nice. All the gauges and electrical works nicely. There is a crack in the dash pad directly above the choke lever (see photos), but the pad is approx. $150 I understand. The steering column is the telescoping unit and works nicely. The tires are Pirelli P300's with approx. 50% tread remaining and give the car a very pleasing and comfortable ride. The 67 E-type is generally considered one of the best years of the car, and this car presents nicely and turns the heads; all the glass is in perfect shape, including the glass covering the headlights. The paint is very glossy and the chrome is still bright, there are a handful of dings on the sides, not very noticable, but do inspect the photos. The only modifications are a delco alternator and an electric fuel pump mounted in the front of the trunk. This car has no signs of rust or corrosion on the underbody, but I have noted a couple of the usual paint bubbles at the front wheel arch. This car was a northern California/Oregon car until I brought it to North Carolina in 2006. the car really is an excellent driver that is ready to go anywhere,and is quite a comfy driver over the long stretch with its larger cabin as compared to most two seaters of the day. Please feel free to have the car inspected or come and drive her, she will sell herself. I am located in Elizabeth City, NC, which is just south of Virginia Beach, VA. I have garage space for the car so it will not be a bother while someone handles transportation needs. I will expect a $1000. deposit within 3 days of auction close and full payment within 10 days.
