1966 Jaguar E-Type Series 1 DHC – Iconic Design with Exceptional Refinement

This 1966 Jaguar E-Type Series 1 DHC (Drop Head Coupe) is an extraordinary blend of art and engineering, widely celebrated for its timeless beauty and exhilarating performance. Powered by a 4.2-liter inline 6-cylinder engine producing 265 hp at 5,400 rpm and paired with a 4-speed fully synchronized manual transmission, this car offers an unmatched driving experience with increased torque of 283 lb-ft, making it more refined than its 3.8-liter predecessor.

The vehicle is finished in the classic Old English White, a shade that perfectly complements the E-Type’s iconic 1960s styling. The cherry red leather interior is in immaculate condition, creating a striking contrast that ensures this Series 1 E-Type is a true head-turner. Additionally, the car comes with a black removable hardtop, offering a versatile two-tone aesthetic and added comfort for cooler weather driving.

Performance & Restoration:
The E-Type features a larger displacement engine that retains the same horsepower as earlier models while improving drivability. This car underwent a comprehensive engine overhaul in 1992, which included a new crankshaft, bearings, valves, and valve guides, ensuring reliable and smooth operation. The Jaguar’s refined suspension and responsive handling make it both a pleasure to drive and a piece of automotive history to cherish.

Design Excellence:
Recognized by the Museum of Modern Art for its exceptional design, the Jaguar E-Type is as much a work of art as it is a car. Its sleek lines and harmonious proportions define the pinnacle of 1960s automotive aesthetics, making it an enduring symbol of modern elegance.
