Few automobiles define an era quite like the Jaguar E-Type. It has been called "the most beautiful car ever built"; more than half a century later, its timeless design, elegant engineering, and unmistakable charm continue to captivate collectors and enthusiasts worldwide. This stunning "Series 1½" Roadster, manufactured in 1967, is one of the final examples—out of a total of only 319 units—produced by Jaguar Cars with left-hand drive (LHD) and a 4.2-liter engine, making it a highly sought-after and significant model within the E-Type lineage. By combining the purity of the original Series 1 with the mechanical refinements that paved the way for the Series 2, it represents the best of both worlds. Finished in "original yellow" with a black leather interior, this vehicle was delivered new in Spain—specifically to the Canary Islands—before later moving to the Mediterranean coast. The car retains its original, factory-matched serial numbers and comes with an extensive, superbly documented history that confirms its authenticity and long provenance, throughout which it has been carefully preserved.
This unique E-Type is powered by a 4.2-liter, inline-six-cylinder XK engine (with matching numbers). Producing approximately 265 hp, it achieves 0–60 mph in 7.0 seconds (period figures). Since its complete restoration, the odometer shows 12,774 kilometers. Equipped with a 4-speed manual transmission, rear-wheel drive, and independent rear suspension, it delivers the classic E-Type driving experience: balanced, exhilarating, and refined. The braking system features 4-piston Cooper Craft front brake calipers; it has a new clutch and has covered only 12,000 kilometers. It includes an electronic ignition conversion, an upgraded throttle and pedal assembly, power steering, refurbished interior upholstery, a black canvas soft top, and a hardtop for winter use. It is completely free of rust and has never been in an accident; it has been fully maintained and all mechanical needs have been addressed.
