This E-Type - a highly desirable late Series 1 4.2 with the archetypal covered headlamps - was the car the owner most often picked to drive out of his collection. Finished in Opalescent Maroon over black trim, it wears an older restoration that has been consistently and attentively maintained throughout its tenure, remaining both highly attractive and eminently usable. While in the current owner's care, the original, matching numbers 4.2-liter engine was rebuilt by a marque specialist and it has proven to be a consistently strong running example.
The Opalescent Maroon paintwork is very attractive and in fine overall condition, accented with restored bright work and chrome wire wheels shod with Michelin radials for an authentic stance. The restoration has mellowed nicely with time and enjoyment, yet the car is still quite presentable for casual shows and club gatherings, while also looking as striking as ever on the road. This would be an excellent pick for classic rallies and high-speed touring events. Inside, the black leather, carpet, and vinyl trim have been authentically restored and maintained with a pleasing, lightly broken-in character. Switchgear and controls are true to original, while a late-model aftermarket AM/FM/CD stereo is in the console.
Hitting the sweet spot of E-Type evolution, this '67 Roadster blends the purity of the early styling features with the improved 4.2 engine and myriad mechanical refinements over the 3.8. This car's 4.2 XK inline-six corresponds to the chassis tag as retaining its original block and head, and is well detailed with polished cam covers, inlet manifold, and trio of polished S.U. carburetors.
The E-Type is undeniably a motoring icon, with legions of fans the world over who sing its praises. After more than 25 years in the care of an attentive and passionate enthusiast, this attractive, well-maintained roadster will bring many miles of joy for its next caretaker.
