1968 Jaguar E Type Carmen Red Roadster Manual 6244 Miles
A Well Done Older Restoration That Has Held Up Wonderful- Finished In Its Original Carmen Red Color- Properly Serviced And Featuring Purposeful Driver Centric Upgrades- Sale Includes Original Steering Wheel, Jack And Spare, Heritage Certificate, And Available Service RecordsThe Jaguar E-Type, or XK-E for the North American market, is arguably one of Jaguar’s most popular and recognizable sports cars. Built from 1961 to 1974, the original design for the E-Type was based on Jaguar’s D-Type race car and boasted a top speed of 150 mph with a sub-7-second 0-60 time. The Series 1 E-Type was produced as both a two-seater coupe, made famous by its long hood in comparison to the rest of its body and a two-seater convertible. The Series 1 cars had two engines under the hood depending on their year of manufacture. Those made between 1961 and 1964 had a 3.8-liter engine while the latter 1965 to 1967 models had a 4.2-liter engine with increased torque, thus making them the most usable of the models.Between 1967 and 1968, 6,726 Series 1.5 cars were produced as transitional models between Series 1 and Series 2. These had open headlights due to a US safety law, black rocker switches on the dash instead of the original toggle switches, de-tuning from three to two carburetors due to US emissions, twin cooling fans, adjustable seatbacks, and other cosmetic changes. The lack of a third carburetor resulted in a sizable loss of power for the US-market Series 1.5 cars. In total, 6,749 of the later 4.2-liter Series 1 roadsters were made, and 2,801 Series 1.5 roadsters.This particular example is a beautiful example of a 4.2-liter Series 1.5 finished in Carmen Red with a contrasting black leather interior and top.
