No British car can quite compete with the icon that is the Jaguar E-Type, or XK-E as it was dubbed for the North American market. Its claims of a 150 mph top speed, sub-7 second 0-60 mph acceleration, and advanced steering and suspension systems made the E-Type a trendsetter for its time and for cars that followed. Produced from 1961 to 1974, the car was produced in three consecutive series. The Series 1 was produced from 1961 to 1968 and initially came equipped with a triple SU carburetted 3.8-litre six-cylinder Jaguar XK6 engine from the XK150S. In 1964, the engine’s displacement was increased to 4.2-liters that had the same power but an increased torque from 240 to 283 lb-ft. The 4.2-liter cars also had reclining seats, better brakes, electrical systems, and a synchromesh four-speed transmission. A total of 16,195 Series 1 4.2-liter cars were produced with 6,749 of them being Open Two Seaters (OTS).

This particular example, Chassis # 1E13737, is a 1967 Series 1 4.2-liter OTS model. According to the Jaguar Heritage Trust Certificate provided with it, the car was originally delivered through distributor Peter Lindner of Frankfurt, Germany to its initial owner, a W. F. Mastroler. It was later imported to the US sometime before 1981 where its next owner, the then-proprietor of a Jaguar dealership in Buffalo, NY, purchased the car in 1996. He regularly serviced the car throughout the late 1990s before restoring it sometime in the mid-2000s. The car underwent a respray, going from its original Opalescent Silver Grey over a red leather interior to its current dark green color over tan leather. The numbers-matching engine and transmission were also rebuilt during that restoration, although the head appears to have been re-stamped. The ignition tumbler has also been relocated to the steering column at some point in this Jaguar’s life.

The Jaguar was listed on Bring a Trailer in 2021 where it was bought by William Bravo of Pennsylvania. He was unfortunately only able to enjoy the car for a few months before he tragically passed away, leaving it in the care of his daughter and later executrix of his estate. We acquired the car in May of 2022 and found it needed a tad bit of love and care to work at its full potential.

Leading Edge Autosport in West Chester, PA installed new clutch hydraulics including master and slave cylinders. The left rear wheel bearing was replaced alongside its respective seals and rings as well as the rear trailing arms and all sway bar link bushings. The rear braking system was entirely flushed and replaced with all new calipers, pistons, and pads along with the respective brake hoses. Under the hood, a new power steering belt, power steering suction hose and reservoir cap, battery hold-down kit, and a brake fluid reservoir were all installed. On the underside, we had the rear differential drained and refilled as well as new exhaust clamps installed. A new set of Vredestein Spring Classic tires were mounted and balanced on all four of the original wire wheels to round out the refresh and give this XK-E the look it deserves.

There is no driving experience quite like a classic Jag and this XK-E has the best of both worlds. With a mechanically sorted engine and a driver-quality body, it will provide the ideal grand tourer for somebody seeking a taste of British motoring in their collection.

Upon purchase, the new owner will receive the original toolkit, jack, touch-up paint, a pair of color-matched driving gloves, as well as all of the booklets, manuals, and service records.
