Jaguar E-Type Series 1½ OTS Roadster

This 1967 E-Type is an open two-seater from the Series 1½ period, the short transitional phase between the original Series 1 and the Series 2. It is a car with a long way behind it: first supplied new to the USA in left-hand drive, it later moved to Canada, where it received a full nut-and-bolt restoration. The dealer reports no corrosion underneath, including in the boot well beneath the spare wheel.

It is finished in Signal Red over black leather and black carpets, with a new mohair hood on a plated frame and four new chrome wire wheels with knock-off spinners and fresh tyres. An air conditioning system has been fitted, which is an unusual addition on an E-Type of this age. The odometer reading of 77,000 miles is described as warranted from new.

The most recent owner, who kept it for some years, used it mainly for touring holidays in Europe, reaching as far as Portugal. A large history file documents the work carried out. The car is listed as coming soon, with the full photography still to be done.
