- 4.2L inline-six, 265 bhp
A 1966 Jaguar E-Type Series 1 roadster powered by the 4.2-litre XK six-cylinder engine, assembled in late March 1966 and originally exported to the United States via Jaguar Cars New York. First sold to a Chicago owner in spring 1966, the car passed through undocumented ownership before reaching Wisconsin by 2007. Around 2011 it received a comprehensive restoration including a correct-colour cosmetic refinish, and retains its period radio, chromed wire wheels, and original factory chassis plate.
