According to the Jaguar Heritage Trust Certificate, this XKE was finished in Carmen Red over a Tan interior and was completed on February 23, 1967. The E-Type is considered by many to be the height of Jaguar, and automotive design overall. The E-Type's combination of beauty, high performance, and innovative engineering has made this British sports car an icon of classic car passion.
Its brilliant Red exterior is complemented by Classic Redline 185 R15 radial tires mounted on chrome knockoff wire wheels, triple-plated chrome components throughout, chrome 'bullet-style' driver-side mirror, new rubber seals, polished aluminum trim, louvered hood, and dual exhaust pipes jutting seductively from beneath the rear valance.
This XKE Roadster's Tan leather interior features leather seats, Woolton wool carpeting, a contrasting black dash with factory Smiths instrumentation, a traditional three-spoke, wood-rimmed steering wheel with E-Type horn button, a manual 4-speed center shifter with black shift knob, and chrome emergency brake lever.

Its beautifully detailed matching in-line 4.2-liter, six-cylinder engine, coupled with a four-speed manual transmission, generates 265 HP @ 5500 RPM, with 260 ft. lbs. of torque @ 4000 RPM. 150 mph top speed and sub-7 second 0 to 60 acceleration. Equipped with disc brakes, rack-and-pinion steering, and independent front and rear suspension, it was considered a step ahead of other sports cars at the time, and an influence on the entire industry. This is the one car that Enzo Ferrari called "the most beautiful car ever made.”
