1967 | Jaguar E-Type 4.2

We offer you one of the coveted Series 1 OTS (Open Two Seater) with 4.2 litre engine in absolute concours condition.

Restored to the highest standard with matching numbers.

The chassis no., engine no. & gearbox no. exactly match the verified Heritage certificate. As an investment, as a reliable classic to drive yourself or as a century design object that you simply want to own.

This E Type was born on 02 June 1967 and was then shipped to the USA, New York. America had no serious sports cars of its own, loved the E Type and had the money. Almost 70% of the left-hand drive E Type was sold in the USA, especially the roadsters (OTS).

The E-Type 4.2 ltr. built from August 1964 was equipped with a new engine with a larger displacement, a new improved braking system, the new fully synchronised JAGUAR manual gearbox, which replaced the Moss box, new larger seats and a slightly modified cockpit.

In 2022 we found this E Type in good condition and in unrestored condition with a mileage of 29,489 miles.

With matching numbers, a solid and complete body with the original bonnet and all important chrome add-on parts. This is very important for a perfect overall result after the restoration. The reason: these parts, headlight rings, front and rear bumpers and the rear lights were already adapted to the body at the factory during production of the E-Type. Reproduced parts exist, but they never really fit. The E-Type was shipped to Europe and the nut & bolt bare metal restoration began.

We took every single bolt in our hands, opened up all the cavities, professionally cut out the body panels that could not be repaired and replaced them with new ones. We took great care to work exactly as the Jaguar factory did in 1967. All spot welds are correct, every detail is in its correct place and only tin was used instead of body filler for levelling the surfaces. A technique that only a few specialists still master and use today. The gap dimensions and the surfaces, the flat body panels speak for themselves. Two coats of clear lacquer have been applied and additionally ceramic-sealed.

The restoration took over 2,000 hours of work. After the complete overhaul and before it was installed in the E Type, the Matching Number engine was tested with the gearbox on a test bench. After its complete restoration until April 2025, the E-Type was test-driven for 400 kilometres. Registration in Germany with an H licence plate will be carried out by us. The 2-piece luggage set shown has been customised for the E-Type OTS and can also be purchased.

This E-Type delivers the highest quality and drives perfectly. A dream car in the 1960s just like today. You will not find a better restored E-Type S1 OTS.
