1966 Jaguar E-Type 4.2 roadster Series 1 No reserve Swedish registration Chassis no. 1E12892 Engine no. 7E8742-9 - Extensive restoration - Original engine - Ideal for touring or back-roading - No reserve Like many E-Types, this one was exported new across the Atlantic, then sold through the New York distributor to its first owner, Mr. Thomas E. Joworowski of Chicago. It was painted "Opalescent Maroon" with a black interior, and remained in the USA until 2007. At that time, it was exported to Europe by a Mr. Wettengel and, in 2010, underwent a complete restoration by a workshop based in the Czech Republic. Numerous photos and invoices illustrate the extent of the work carried out: we invite interested buyers to consult them. In 2015, it was purchased by Staffan Wittmark from the specialist "Anglo Italian Cars" of Welden, near Munich. For Mr. Wittmark, the E-Type Series 1 boasts timelessly beautiful lines, which explains why he has three models in his collection. He was seduced by the car's color, which recalls the original "Opalescent Maroon" with its shimmering highlights. The impeccably clean engine compartment houses the original XK 6-cylinder. Inside, new white leather seats welcome occupants, along with a smaller-diameter Moto-Lita steering wheel and a more modern car radio. This well-restored example lives up to the reputation of this automotive icon, whose stunning lines stunned the world when it was unveiled at the 1961 Geneva Motor Show. It's an awe-inspiring experience combined with undeniable driving pleasure, to the bewitching sound of the smooth, powerful 4.2-liter 6-cylinder engine. - Extensive restoration - Original engine - Ideal for outings or trips on back roads - No reserve Like many E-Types, this car was exported new to the States, then sold through Jaguar's New York distributor to its first owner, Thomas E.
