1967 Jaguar E-Type Series I 4.2 Roadster
- Engine
- 4.2L inline-six
A right-hand drive Jaguar E-Type Series I 4.2-litre Roadster finished in Carmen Red with a black leather interior, originally delivered new to Hong Kong in 1967. The car has a remarkably well-documented history spanning multiple owners across Hong Kong and the United Kingdom, accompanied by two binders of receipts, a 23-page expenditure record totalling 122 entries, and a JDHT certificate. A 2011 rear-impact incident prompted a comprehensive cosmetic restoration costing over £48,000, alongside drivetrain work by CKL Developments, leaving the car in notably fine condition.
