1966 Jaguar E-Type XKE FHC (Fixed Head Coupe) 4.2L for sale! Motorcar Classics is pleased to offer this stunning Jaguar E-Type presented in Opalescent Silver Gray with Red interior. This 1966 Series 1 has undergone a complete restoration to return it to original factory condition. Every effort has been made to ensure accuracy and authenticity for its year. As such, the car operates perfectly and is a joy to drive. Originally a French Export vehicle, the speedometer tracks distance in kilometers not miles and the gauge reads in Km/h. This vehicle has been restored to the exacting condition it would have been when it left Coventry. For example, the vehicle would have received yellow headlight bulbs and Pirelli tires once it was processed in France but since the restoration was being done to factory standard, these elements were kept as they would have left England. Little is known of the car's history after its first owner but the vehicle was purchased in 1980 where it remained with the same owner until the restoration. Mileage is noted to be accurate as the vehicle was disassembled in the 80's and shelved for the majority of the last 40 years.
This example is fully numbers matching with rare color combo Opalescent Silver Gray with Red Interior. What we would consider a Concours level restoration which has been meticulously completed on this vehicle. Included with this car is the French Import Data Tag removed from the engine bay firewall but kept with the vehicle for historic purposes, original warranty card noting the first owner and the Delacroix dealer information, all Tri-Plex glass, perfectly matched battleship-gray/green paint on radiator support rails. We would consider this XKE concours ready and it has all necessary accessories required for showing including: Complete tool kit, factory jack, factory hammer, front license plate mounting kit (needs to be shown with car since front plate is not mounted) and the original owner's manual and parts catalog all included with vehicle. Do not miss this opportunity to own a piece of jaguar history!
