1968 Jaguar Series 1.5 E-Type Roadster
Two Owners, 42,000 Original Miles, Recent Mechanical Refurbishment

 
The transitional Series 1.5 E-Type was introduced before the second generation of Jaguar's brilliant E-Type. It combines the 4.2-liter engine and handsome body style of the Series 1 cars, while also incorporating many changes more commonly associated with its successor. These changes included twin Zenith-Stromberg carburetors, twin cooling fans, adjustable seats, and, most notably, open headlights. These upgrades were complemented with four-wheel Dunlop disc brakes, with the rear discs fitted next to the differential to reduce un-sprung weight, and most importantly, fully independent suspension on all four wheels.

The Roadster offered here comes from the second owner, who has kept possession of the vehicle for 34 years. With just 42,000 original miles, the vehicle has recently been treated to a mechanical refurbishment, which included a brake overhaul, a rebuild of the top-end with new valves, a complete engine tune, and the installation of an electronic ignition. The car shines in Carmen Red over Black Leather interior, and is shod in new chrome wire wheels with fresh rubber. The car is in top notch mechanical condition, and delivers an absolute thrill on the road.

This Series 1.5 E-Type is an excellent automobile for anyone seeking a usable classic, and it is a splendid example of one of the finest Jaguars to leave the factory in Coventry.
