Auction description:

1967 Jaguar E-Type Series I Roadster

Lot F115 // Friday, August 15th// Monterey 2025

4.2L Inline-6, 5-Speed

Odometer reads† 66,832 miles

VIN / Serial 1E11120

Balanced and blueprinted 4.2 inline 6-cylinder engine

Getrag 5-speed manual transmission

3.31 ratio limited-slip differential

Metallic Silver with Black upholstery

4-wheel disc brakes

Recent upgrades include heavy-duty radiator, performance cams, stainless steel headers and exhaust system

Stored in a climate-controlled facility

Adorned in the almost formal combination of metallic silver paint with a black bucket-seat interior and black top, this 1967 Series 1 roadster has been stored in a climate-controlled facility.

Lifting the one-piece front clip reveals the car’s competition-bred double-overhead-cam inline-6 engine, one of the smoothest running powerplants of its time. Displacing 4.2L and rated at 265 HP, it has been balanced and blueprinted and upgraded with performance camshafts, stainless-steel tube headers and exhaust system, and a heavy-duty radiator. The stock 4-speed manual transmission was replaced with a more flexible Getrag 5-speed, which drives a 3.31:1 limited-slip differential. The car is also equipped with 4-wheel disc brakes. Identified by the chromed wire wheels and covered headlights that were signature features of these early E-Types, this 1967 Series 1 is a fine performer that is widely considered the best of all E-Type series models made.

Converting to a Getrag five-speed transmission had proved to be a frequent modification to E-Types that gave owners a more modern driving experience, especially with a highway-friendly overdrive fifth gear. However, finding an original Getrag 265 for these conversions has become more difficult and costly since the company was acquired by Magna Powertrain in 2015. Modern conversion kits often use alternative transmissions, like the Tremec T5, adapted for the E-Type. Getrag was a very well respected German manufacturer founded in Ludwisgsburg, Germany in 1935 and which was in business until 2015 when it was fully acquired by Magna Powertrain for $1.9B and their 5 speed transmissions are widely considered to be the ultimate Etype upgrade transmission due its very fine German craftsmanship.

This car is a prime example of a beautifully frame off restored example of a 1965 Jaguar Series I Roadster with a Getrag 5 speed manual transmission and with the floor boards and all the typical rust-prone areas completely solid, original and rust-free! The car has no signs of any accidents and has a razor straight body.
