Description
This fine example was built in 1966, this Series I car is fitted with the 4. 2 litre powerplant, often considered the best E-Type engine. For the 4. 2 model Jaguar introduced their own all-synchromesh gearbox along with improved seating and brakes. The new gearbox allowed faster changes and was well received in the motoring press at the time, offering an exhilarating driving experience for both pilot and passenger. Apart from ‘4. 2’ badging, the car’s external appearance was unchanged but under the skin there were numerous detail improvements, mainly to the electrical and cooling systems with the top speed remaining unchanged.
