1966 JAGUAR E TYPE 4. 2 SERIES 1 

2+2 - ORIGINAL RIGHT HAND DRIVE ONLY 73. 00 MILES

 

It may be one of the most beautiful shapes in motoring history but the E-Type Series 1 fixed head coupe does have one serious drawback - if you are much over 6 foot tall you wont fit in it. The original car could accomodate only two people so Jaguar addressed both these shortcomings in 1966 with the launch of this 2+2 model.

With a higher roof line and stretched by 9 inches. it was still powered by the same magnificent 265BHP XK 4. 2 litre engine but now had enough room to squeeze in three passengers and a tall driver.

First registered in September 1966 this was an exceptionally well maintained example that has undergone a process of continous improvements over the last 20 years although it has had very little use over this time.

Parts renewed or rebuilt include a full VSE engine rebuild to lead free spec less than 4. 00 miles ago. upgraded Coopercraft brakes. 6" chrome wire wheels with 205/70/15 tyres. new fuel tank. new suspension. new wiring loom. new steering rack. new engine frame. new bonnet. new seatbelts and stainless steel exhaust.

The engine and gearbox oil are extremely clean.
