Few cars capture the spirit of 1960s British motoring quite like the E-Type, with its long sculpted bonnet, covered headlights, wire wheels, and unmistakable proportions. The Series I 4.2 combines the elegance that made the XKE famous with Jaguar's larger 4.2-liter inline-six, making this an especially desirable specification for collectors.

Convenience features include front bucket seating, an armrest center console, triple windshield wipers, toggle switches, a 3-spoke wood-rimmed steering wheel, FM/AM radio, and a fender-mounted antenna. Together, these details give this XKE the period-correct presentation that enthusiasts look for in a Series I roadster. This particular Series 1 4.2-Litre Open Two-Seater has recently emerged from long-term storage and is currently not running. Representing an appealing opportunity for someone looking to recommission an iconic British sports car.
