1966 Jaguar XKE Series I 4.2 Roadster Project

The car is equipped with a 4. 2-liter inline-six, triple SU carburetors, a four-speed manual transmission, and a limited-slip differential as well as 15â?³ wire-spoke wheels, independent suspension, and four-wheel disc brakes. It has been refinished in red with a black convertible top over black leather upholstery with low-back bucket seats and a wood-rimmed steering wheel. Series I E-Types were equipped with glass-covered headlights and taillights mounted above the rear bumper. Equipment includes a black soft top, a louvered clamshell hood, triple wipers, dual center-exit exhaust outlets, and chrome wraparound bumpers with overriders. Close-up photos depicting paint chips, cracks, and bubbles along with dings, orange peel, and rust can be viewed in the gallery. Silver-painted 15â?³ wire wheels are secured by branded two-eared knock-offs and mounted with older 215/70 Dunlop D65 Touring Elite thin-whitewall tires, and a matching spare with a Pirelli tire is stowed in the trunk. The car is equipped with rack-and-pinion steering, and braking is handled by four-wheel discs, the rears of which are mounted inboard. Black leather upholstery covers the low-back bucket seats, which are accompanied by a color coordinated center console, door panels, and black carpets. A Sony AM/FM/cassette stereo is mounted ahead of the shifter, which displays a torn boot and a cracked knob.
