This is a truly marvelous frame off restored example of a mostly all original and stock example of this coveted first series of E-Type Jaguars, with the legendary glass covered headlights, small 'mouth' opening at the front, 4.2L liter engine with the triple SU carburetors, aircraft style toggle switches and rear tail and signal lamps positioned handsomely above the chrome rear bumper!
Converting to a Getrag five-speed transmission had proved to be a frequent modification to E-Types that gave owners a more modern driving experience, especially with a highway-friendly overdrive fifth gear. However, finding an original Getrag 265 for these conversions has become more difficult and costly since the company was acquired by Magna Powertrain in 2015. Modern conversion kits often use alternative transmissions, like the Tremec T5, adapted for the E-Type. Getrag was a very well respected German manufacturer founded in Ludwisgsburg, Germany in 1935 and which was in business until 2015 when it was fully acquired by Magna Powertrain for $1.9B.
The car is a prime example of a beautifully frame off restored example of a 1967 Jaguar Series I Roadster with a Getrag 5 speed manual transmission and with the floor boards and all the typical rust-prone areas completely solid, original and rust-free! The car has no signs of any accidents and has a razor straight body.
