Our Take:
- Classic Elegance Meets Engineering Masterpiece: The 1967 Jaguar E-Type, especially a Series 1, is often hailed as one of the most beautiful cars ever crafted. Enzo Ferrari himself dubbed it the world's most beautiful car. With its opalescent silver gray body and red trim, this model is a fine example of British craftsmanship that continues to captivate enthusiasts worldwide.
- Series 1 Mystique: The 4.2-liter engine paired with triple carburetors and a 4-speed manual transmission offers a driving experience that harkens back to the golden days of motoring. The original French delivery by Jaguar dealer Delacroix adds a layer of historical intrigue, as European-delivered models often feature unique specifications compared to their UK or US counterparts.
- Coveted Details: This particular 2+2 coupe boasts iconic covered headlights and classic chrome wire wheels, which were emblematic of the Series 1 E-Types. Toggle switches inside the cabin further enhance its vintage charm, offering a tactile experience that modern cars lack. Jaguar aficionados know that these details make restoration efforts worthwhile.
- Restoration Potential: While it needs some TLC — with bodywork requiring rust attention and a damaged cylinder head — its matching numbers and complete original components present an appealing project. Having a mechanically complete underbonnet with excellent subframes makes it a prime candidate for restoration, promising both a rewarding endeavor and potential appreciation in value.
