Sellers description:
Beautiful opalescent gray 1967 Jaguar E-Type coupe with red interior. Last year of the triple-carb, covered headlight cars! This is an UNRESTORED car in excellent physical and mechanical condition. this car has been garaged since new and has been driven only on dry, sunny days. The seats, carpeting and the dash are original. The exterior paint is probably original, the paint in the engine bay IS original! Mechanical work has been performed ONLY as required to maintain the car (new tires & wheels, clutch, brakes, axle seals, fuel pump, fuel tank, colling system, etc.). The car drives every bit as good as the photos suggest with the proper E-Type feedback when underway. An excellent example of one of Jaguar's finest cars!!

Sellers description:
Gorgeous, extremely original 1967 Jaguar Series I E-Type Fixed Head Coupe (FHC) finished in its original and rare Opalescent Silver Grey over Red Leather. The 1967 E-Type is considered by many to be the most desirable of the iconic model. The final year of the Series I, it retains the desirable covered headlamps and toggle switches in the dash and boasts a 4.2L inline six-cylinder engine with triple SU carburetors mated to a four-speed synchromesh transmission. Always extremely well looked after, this car presents beautifully as a legitimate survivor. Everything on the car is original with the exception of a single repaint some 15 years ago in the original paint color. As such, it bears some typical patina and is not a show car, but as the pictures show, it turns heads wherever it goes. On the basis of the level of wear and our mechanic's opinion, we feel that the 64k miles showing on the odometer to be original to the car.

The finish retains wonderful depth and luster and polishes up nicely, however it has a few rock chips and imperfections, none of which significantly detract from the car's overall appeal or are large enough to appear in any of the pictures. All of the chrome and glass are in excellent original condition and the body and panel fit is excellent, betraying no evidence of accidents. The undercarriage is clean, original and rust-free, proof-positive that the car was always garaged and cared for. The car's interior is equally as clean and original. The seats, dash, interior panels, headliner and carpets are entirely original and are all in remarkable condition. The driver seat has some minimal separation in the seat cushion that could be replaced, however in our humble opinion the car is better for its patina.

Driving the car is a completely visceral experience. It sounds, smells and performs vintage. The original numbers matching engine fires easily without any smoke or hesitation, maintains a consistent idle and pulls with fantastic power through each of the four gears. Whether roaring down the highway, winding through the canyons or just running errands in town, the car is an absolute joy to drive, accelerating with grin-inducing force and driving and handling as it should.

This is an excellent opportunity at acquiring an extremely desirable Series I E-Type FHC that has all of the right things going for it: rare, beautiful color combination, incredibly strong, numbers matching engine and transmission, particularly presentable and the final year of the model. Please bid accordingly.

Hi, interesting, not saying it is impossible, but Opalescent Gunmetal was NOT a standard colour on the S1 4.2's, only 3.8's. Most cars *thought* to have been Opalescent Gunmetal were actually Opalescent Silver Grey: according to Clausager 2172 cars between August 1964 and July 1968. ONLY 9 cars were painted "Opalescent Gunmetal" at the factory from August 1964 to July 1968 and they were all special orders, only a JHT certificate can confirm that to be true. The original interior (the seats) prior to restoration looked like it could have been "Tan" (very saturated brown) which was together with "Light Tan" a common interior on Opalescent Golden Sand cars, but not Gunmetal nor Opalescent Silver Grey. Cheers!
