1967 Jaguar E-Type Series 1.25 Roadster
- Colour
- Opalescent Maroon
A May 1967-built Jaguar E-Type occupying the transitional 'Series 1.25' specification, combining the mechanical and interior attributes of the Series 1 with the open, chrome-rimmed headlamps of the incoming Series 2. Delivered new through a Massachusetts dealership to physicist Dean Edmunds, who retained the car for over five decades, covering barely 7,200 miles. A full bare-metal restoration was completed in 2004. The car retains what is believed to be its original black leather interior and is accompanied by exceptional documentation including the original window sticker, factory invoice, and a Jaguar Daimler Heritage Trust certificate.
