Appealing example of the unusual “Series 1.5” E-Type

One of few E-Types sold new in Canada

Accompanied by a Jaguar Daimler Heritage Trust Certificate

Completed 19 June 1968, this Series 1.5 E-Type, chassis 18180, was among the final batch of cars completed before the factory fully transitioned to the Series 2. Furthering this example’s exclusive pedigree, it is one of few E-Types sold new to Canada. While this Roadster was originally finished in Opalescent Maroon over Beige trim, it now wears a handsome older restoration in red over black trim with a black fabric soft-top. Importantly, the car is equipped with its matching-numbers 4.2-liter engine block, which wears a replacement cylinder head and desirable triple SU carburetor setup.

The car is accompanied by service invoices, a Jaguar Daimler Heritage Trust Certificate, operating handbook, and E-Type maintenance chart. Among the final Series 1.5 E-Types built, this beautifully appointed roadster represents an important chapter in the marque’s history.
