Jaguar E-type Series 1 4.2 1966 for sale

The 1966 Jaguar E-Type Series 1 is widely regarded as one of the most legendary sports cars of all time, praised for its timeless design, pure performance, and elegant sporty character. This example, finished in black and retaining matching numbers, offers enthusiasts the chance to own an icon of the '60s that still requires some partial restoration. This version is the most sought after among the E-Types: it combines the elegant bodywork of the early series with the distinctive covered headlights, while also offering more interior space. The seats are less "bucket" than those of the 3.8-liter version, making it suitable for taller and heavier drivers. Under the hood lies the best evolution of the XK engine: the 4.2-liter, known for its strong low-end torque, reliability, and wonderful sound. Equipped with three SU carburetors, it offers both smooth driving and lively performance - an engine that Jaguar would continue to use in various models until the '90s.
