The 1966 Jaguar E-Type Roadster, presented by Animoya Garage, is finished in stunning Signal Red over a full Red interior which is quite uncommon and an absolutely stunning combination.
This fantastic Series 1 E-Type was completed on May 17th, 1966, and was originally finished in Cream over a Black leather interior. According to the Jaguar Heritage Trust Certificate, Mr G. Thornton was the original owner, and forgoed the typical delivery process and arranged to pick up the car at the factory upon completion. We would assume he did this to enjoy his E-Type on the wonderful and hilly British B-roads in the surrounding areas before sending it home to the United States.
Since much of the history past this point is unknown we must infer that at some point the car was fully restored, this is likely when the car was switched from Cream over Black to Red over Black. Based on a Previous ad in 2020, we were able to discover this is when the interior was fully redone and finished entirely in red, all the way down to the carpets, which in our opinion, suits the car very well.
Today, this E-Type remains in the mentioned Red over Red configuration and presents very nicely. The paint overall is very nice and the chrome work all around is exceptionally bright and clear with virtually no pitting whatsoever. From a mechanical standpoint, this E-Type is dialed in quite nicely, start ups are quick, oil pressure builds nicely, and once warm it makes great power and drives wonderfully.
Included in the sale of this Series I E-Type is the original tool roll, knock-off hammer, and boot cover.
