Description
Some cars don’t need explanation
They cannot be reduced to numbers or specifications. They speak directly to the senses. This 1967 Jaguar E-Type 4. 2 Litre Series 1 Coupé is one such design—one that hasn’t merely stood the test of time, but risen above it. Elegant, sensual, and timeless. A moving work of art in a color combination that is nearly impossible to surpass.
“Jaguar… always a leap ahead.” Rarely has a slogan been more accurate. When the E-Type was introduced in the 1960s, it turned the automotive world upside down—not just through its performance, but through its shape. The long bonnet, the flowing lines, the subtle detailing. Even today, the design feels modern, almost improbably refined for a car of its era.
This particular example exudes class in every detail. The combination of a Willow Green exterior with a Suede Green interior is simply stunning—subtle, sophisticated, yet unmistakably distinctive. A color scheme we encounter only rarely, but never forget once we do. In the right light, the paint seems to come alive: deep, rich, and full of character. Inside, the cabin is a perfect continuation of the exterior—warm, elegant, and exceptionally well presented. This is not a classic you admire from a distance; it invites you to sit down and drive.
The condition of this E-Type is truly impressive. Everything feels exactly as it should. Panel fit is crisp, the interior is of very high quality, and mechanically the car is equally convincing. This is due in part to a meticulous nut-and-bolt restoration, carried out with great attention to detail. In addition, this example is matching numbers, with a Jaguar Heritage Trust certificate confirming the authenticity of this remarkable car.
Beneath the long hood lies the legendary 4. 2-liter inline six, renowned for its smoothness and impressive torque delivery. Never brash, always assured. This E-Type drives extremely well—solid and composed—and the automatic transmission pairs beautifully with the refined character of the six-cylinder engine, making for a relaxed and comfortable grand touring experience.
The Series 1 E-Type is widely regarded as the purest and most desirable chapter in the model’s history—and rightly so. Design and engineering came together without compromise.
This is not a car for everyone. It is a Jaguar for the connoisseur—someone who recognizes beauty, appreciates subtlety, and understands that true class never needs to shout. An iconic grand tourer in an exceptional specification, ready for its next custodian.
