1967 Jaguar XKE

Price: $134,500

Location: Saint Louis, Missouri

Chassis 1E14923

Offered in its factory-correct Carmen Red over black leather

Desirable closed-headlight Series I configuration

4.2-liter "gold head" XK inline-six

Rear luggage rack for added touring practicality

Attractive driver-level presentation, ideal for regular enjoyment

This 1967 Jaguar XKE Roadster, chassis 1E14923, was delivered new through Jaguar Cars New York to Westville, Illinois on January 30, 1968. It is presented today in its factory-correct specification of Carmen Red over black leather with a matching black canvas top, a timeless combination that suits the flowing lines of the XKE particularly well.

Under the bonnet is Jaguar's celebrated 4.2-liter XK inline-six, distinguished here by its gold-painted cylinder head. Smooth, flexible, and remarkably capable, the XK engine remains one of the defining elements of the E-Type driving experience, offering ample performance while maintaining the refinement expected of a proper grand touring roadster.

The exterior presents attractively throughout, with the Carmen Red finish showing well and complemented by brightwork that gives the car a crisp, traditional appearance. The desirable closed headlamps retain the elegant early Series I look, while a rear luggage rack adds both visual interest and useful practicality for touring.

Inside, the black leather cabin is simple, purposeful, and unmistakably Jaguar. The low seating position, compact steering wheel, and aircraft-inspired instrumentation create one of the most evocative cockpits of the period, while the black soft top provides a handsome complement to the exterior when raised.

Mechanically, this XKE is especially appealing, with strong road manners and excellent overall fitness that make it well suited to regular use. Importantly, it retains its numbers-matching 4.2-liter XK inline-six, preserving an important element of originality while delivering the smooth, flexible performance for which the model is so well known.

Today, chassis 1E14923 presents as a very appealing driver-level XKE, with the sort of honest, well-kept character that encourages regular use. Rather than being an over-restored showpiece, it is a car that can be comfortably enjoyed on tours, club events, and weekend drives while still offering the beauty and presence that have made the E-Type such an enduring icon.

With its factory-correct color combination, desirable closed-headlamp configuration, 4.2-liter XK power, and attractive overall presentation, this 1967 XKE Roadster represents an excellent opportunity to acquire one of the most celebrated British sports cars in a particularly usable form.
