I am very pleased to be offering for sale this rare, beautiful, numbers matching, original 1967 Jaguar XKE Series 1 Coupe with its gorgeous glass covered headlights and small “mouth” opening. As I am sure most are already aware, this is one of the very desirable late series 1 Jag Coupes with a 6 cylinder 4.2 Liter engine, triple SU carburetion, fully synchronized 4 speed manual gearbox, and many other significant factory upgrades over the earlier Series 1 cars.This brilliant Jaguar is finished in its correct factory Carmen Red (JAG-303) over Black, that in my opinion is the best and the only appropriate color combination for such an aggressively styled series 1 coupe. The paint is exceptional and without flaw. Its deep finish is spectacular. All rubber on the car is new. The interior is very original and in great condition. The seats are in excellent shape, showing only the slightest patina that only adds to the Jags overall beauty and charm. The headliner was recently replaced and is perfect. While the carpets are original, they are still very presentable, but could be addressed based on the opinion of the next owner.The mechanicals are very strong. This is a matching numbers engine (engine # 7E2394-9) and gearbox (# EJ1505). The 4.2L engine pulls powerfully through each of its 4 gears without hesitation or smoke. The ride is comfortable and the suspension feels tight. I would of course encourage a professional mechanical inspection of the vehicle prior to purchase, which I am happy to help facilitate with any interested party. I acquired this wonderful series 1 Jag from a very wealthy estate, whose previous owner had a wide assortment of unbelievably classic and rare British sport cars, all of which went up for auction. Once I took possession of the car in Santa Barbara, CA I had my Jaguar mechanic and longstanding Pebble Beach Concours judge inspect the vehicle and due a service and tune up. I have been driving the car for the last 6 months on sunny weekend afternoons without a problem to report. It is a fantastic automobile. I want this car to go to a great home, so please feel free to email me or give me a call at (805) 886-1823 if you have any additional questions or would like to make a deal. While I have a California dealer license, I’m not your typical dealer. I’ve always had an appreciation for classic European cars and have always bought and sold them to create a kind of very small revolving personal collection, which, up until this posting, has contained the XKE you’re currently looking at. I try to give accurate descriptions of the cars I’m selling, but I’m not an expert and I encourage and am happy to help facilitate personal or professional inspections. But please do so before bidding, as the alternative harms my ability to make sales with other interested parties who have done their proper due diligence before bidding. Please feel free to visit my website at www.GoodmanReed.com For U.S. buyers a 10% non-refundable deposit is required within 3 days of the auction's end, the balance to be paid within 7 days of the auction's end. Foreign buyers must pay in full within 7 business days of auction’s end. Buyer is responsible for shipping, however I'd be more than happy to help with recommendations and arrangements. The car is listed locally and I reserve the right to end the auction at any time should it sell prior to auction's end. Thanks for your interest.
