This 1966 Jaguar E-Type Roadster has an older frame-off restoration that was completed about mid-2005; and later benefiting from a refresh in 2016 by Jaguar expert Butch McKenzie. It’s presented in a brilliant shade of red with a new Stayfast black convertible top. The car rides on blackwall tires mounted on knock-off wire wheels. The E-Type is powered by a 4.2-liter, 265-hp six-cylinder engine which is paired to a fully synchronized four-speed manual transmission. The excellent sound of the 4.2-liter engine can be heard through a stainless steel exhaust system.
The interior is completed in black featuring leather bucket seats, a wood-rimmed steering wheel, Smiths instrumentation and a radio. When the top is down a new Stayfast black tonneau covers the convertible top, helping the car retain a sporty look. Included with the E-Type are a book, manual, tools; spare tire with jack, as well as a wood knock-off wrench for the wire wheels.
Recent work completed by Jaguar expert Butch McKenzie included: checking and changing all fluids; changing belts and hoses; re-calibration of carburetors and set idle; installed new correct fuel pump and related fuel lines; checked compression (all cylinders within spec); new plugs, new wires, new filter, minor seals were replaced; radiator flow and temperature were checked – installed new temperature sending unit; installed new knock-offs and balanced wheels; checked brakes (almost new); replaced wiper blades and one wiper arm; and lastly several chrome items were upgraded to enhance the car’s finish.
This is an excellent example of a 1966 Jaguar E-Type Roadster. The owner describes the car as being a, “well sorted show-driver that can be driven long distances if desired without worry.”
