- 1967 Jaguar E-Type Series I 4.2-Litre Fixed Head Coupe Chassis: 1E33689 sold by Gooding & Company at their 2019 Monterey Sale for $151,200. Unrestored car with only 10,436 miles from new. Original paint, original rubber, original upholstery, matching numbers, this one has it all. #etype #xke
I love the original rubber "strips" where the bonnet ( hood ) sits down on the main car body. You can see them in the wheel arches front. Very nice touch from 67. I was 22 years old and in love with Etypes.
Stunning example. Probably not more than a few of these E Type survivors in such great condition world wide. BTW Richard, you're adding an "i" to the word plenum.
Boy, does these pics bring back VERY good memories; only mine was a 1962 3.8 E-Type Coupe in BRG (British Racing Green),
tan interior with chrome plated wire wheels and Pirelli Cinturato tires and for 6+ years it was the love of my life!
I was driving home from work in my old 1958 TR2, it was pouring cats and dogs out and I passed this small car lot that had
two E-Types for sale, a red Convertible and the Coupe. Bottom line, I bought the Coupe 30 minutes later for $2,950.00.......What a deal!
What a stunner this E Type coupe in its original colour can't believe this car is 60 years old next year Enzo Ferrari said it's the most beautiful car in the world
Hey Richard.. that is superb to see such a pristine original E type..thanks for sharing this video with us..it is a joy to see such a car close up
Yes ur correct!! Where I live in South Kentucky Corbin that is home of KFC !! Never ever see such a machine!! Last E type I Seen around here had a chevy V-8 engine!! What a let down it was!!
Richard - Wow, what a beautiful car! It would look even better in my garage!
I sure appreciate your time and expertise that you bring with each of your videos. Especially enjoying your time in Monterey.
Was this the same model that was used in the movie Harold and Maude?
Yep !
"Be still my beating heart", this is how my '70 series 2 came to me in 1978, it had around only 40K original miles and apart from a few "normal" little electrical faults courtesy of old Joe Lucas was a lovely original example. Thanks Richard for sharing that, we'd be interested to know what price it made at auction.
Beauty in the eye of every beholder👍👍
Richard, you did it again. Another nice find, then again you are going to very nice events. I also liked the XK- 120? beside it, and that DB5? that was so so.... Keep making them... And I'll keep watching them. Later
Henry Zenke I believe the adjacent car is an XK 140 DHC ( drop head coupe). The 140 had a slightly bigger cabin, much heavier duty bumpers, better steering and cooling among other improvements. The engines were higher spec 3.4 liter. I have seen 140’s fitted with the Laycock de Normanville overdrive behind the Moss non syncro first gearbox. The 140 hits the sweet spot for me, looking almost as good as the 120 but being a better driving car. The later XK 150’s were heavier and lost the purity of line to my eye. I have been fortunate to own and drive several examples of each series. The Drophead Coupes are the rarest and had a thick quality soft top that did a good job of keeping the weather away. The roll up windows and vent windows were deluxe touches back in the day.
Wow. Tinted windows too! Even in the UK this model didn't have tinted glass, only in the last models I think. I spose this was done to fit into the American market which had glass tint since the 49 Cadillac, and would appear an oddball on American streets with plain glass.
Holy crap, sold for only US$151,200. Definitely a bargain of the century.
Always love your videos Richard! Thank you!
Richard I have an original unrestored 65 E type OTS. 50K miles. Opalescent Maroon/maroon interior.
Ted, fantastic! Is this the same color then?
A definite gem!
I'm 73 years old now. About thirty years ago I was into building Chevy small block hot rod motors, and along about that time I met a guy who owned one of the biggest junk yards in the area where I lived (North Alabama) and I asked him if he had any old Chevy parts. He said "Naw, we don't mess around with any of that old shit anymore, because that's exactly what it is... old shit."
And you've got one (almost) exactly like it! Wow.
AMAZING is all I can say.
That is a nice late '67 for sure...but I'll continue to drive & enjoy my 2/68 OTS with original pale primrose yellow paint but of course not in the same condition as this FHC.
Richard, when oh when are you going to let us down! Hardly noticed the 140 Drop Head and the Aston DB4. Was the paintwork opalescent dark red. This illustrates precisely the difference between the paint lustre of cellulose and the opalescent dark grey base /clear of that 'restored 1961? you showed us the other week. Keep 'em coming! You are the man!
From another planet Sir, the e type is a MINTER !, so so beautiful
Love this car! Can it get any better than that for an E-Type fan, unless it was the same condition for an early outside bonnet lock, flat floor example.
Richard, love your videos, awesome as usual. I have seen many many vin plates from that era, including my 64 and 63 parts car. I believe that vin plate is a re-stamp as it is too new looking and the numbers do not look right. Also the spare tire differs in the tread pattern from four tires and rims I recovered from a 67 that were definitely original. I have a photo. Keep up the good work.
Beautiful automotive 'art' to be sure, and no doubt that it is an all original car.
I do have a little question though Richard, I'd like to know what that yellow wire and fuse is for, coming from the
battery and going where?
I was thinking it's for a trickle charger,to keep the battery charge up?
@@brianiswrong Maybe, but there are usually two leads for that, aren't there?
Think I might know where a rolling 150 chassis is if your intrested get a hold of me. Nice video good work.
Astonishing, thank you Richard, so valuable that you now have a video record of how they looked new in early 1967. Didn't the series 1A come out in '67? No glass covers over the headlights and rocker switches instead of toggle (levers). My late 70 series 2 was red untiI I took it through a car wash, which turned the colour red/orange, so I resprayed it in my driveway...that series 1 has to be worth a million, because of its low mileage and absolute originality...imho...
What we called the Series one and a half E-Type here in Australia, arrived I think in 1968, it had lost the clear headlight covers and moved the headlights forward. I thought the "rocker" type switches were series 2, along with a further move forward of the headlights and the "underslung" tail and front parking lights.
@@gazzafloss : I think you're wrong about the 1.5 E-type. I've seen many original '67 1.5s with rocker switches but the series 1 tail lights....the series2 was introduced, from memory, in '68, probably many 1.5 were sold then too...the series 2 had the headlights moved forward with a chromed moulding above, and tail lights under the bumpers...the final series 2 E-types were sold in Australia, discounted with paint instead of chrome on some body mouldings and on wheels...
No, not a million. $151,200 to be exact.
@@stephenholland5930 Pedant, that phrase is vernacular meaning very valuable...what price it achieved once is irrelevant to future "worth" to a global market...look how certain Ferraris, eg GTOs, escalated in "value" to millions...
Very clean
That would be a pretty valuable video for anybody doing a factory correct E Type restoration. No arguing about which parts have which finishes.
By the way, do you happen to what that color is called?
Very Impressive! Beautiful example. I would Only show it cordoned off from hands.
Love it
You find them some how Richard !!!
She is a Beauty
Were the aero covers on the headlights original? I thought they were forced to discontinue those after 1964 or so.
John 100% original
@@RichardMichaelOwen Cool. I always thought the (US government) mandate to delete the aero covers destroyed the look of the car.
I love that car !
Lovely 💓👍
I want it!........... How much?
I "think" the gear shift knob is not original. I am thinking the orginal should a small black teardop shaped. Can anyone confirm?
The shift knob looks like the Amco accessory knob. Original is a simple black ball with the shift pattern in white.
The bars between the bumpers are not Jaguar parts. They were a common accessory, also from Amco, which helped minimize rock chips on the leading edge of the bonnet.cars with
The cylinder head in 1967, should still be gold. Most experts agree that the heads were gold until the '68 federal cars with only 2 small carbs.
Pretty sure you're correct. And the headlight bevels shouldn't have philips head screws. This is a gorgeous car and I'm delighted we got to see it, but it's not a pristine original.
@@markrahner2065 You're right about the screws and the car is gorgeous. IMHO it would be perfect with the tan interior. For 50 or 60k my 65 would be just as nice.
@@BOOMER9196 Amco bars are for idiots to not back into car. Late 67s were not painted gold, i have one since '69. It's a one and a half. Has absolutely everything a series one has except open headlights. !!!!! I've had three, all roadsters. I even had an OBL car, traded it on a Tornado. OMG. Who knew..??? !!!!
Hi i have an etype 1966 u s and the head is not painted only 57000 miles from history could be original? and onother thing can some one tell me the back of the seats is sepose to be upholstery or the same as the carpet ?i tks in advance if some one could give info noel@@gf4353
It's not bad.
Yes but is it the most original e type you have seen ?
Yes
Nice example but hardly original configuration or top scoring concours example. But beautiful nonetheless. Missing some interior door trim as well as some plated trim flat blacked over. Soft top header missing some bits as well. Curious how engine bay is presented. Off hand would imagine non-original finish on some panels...likely once again liberal use of flat/matte black paint. FYI....coming from a concours E type judge and '64 E owner.
I really hate that it's a left-hand drive
The original owner must have kept it in the garage, and only drove it on special occasions.
You never met Dr. Haddock?
Can yu get us informed of it's selling price ? I'd say at least 200 K$
Sold for $151,200USD

Worth every penny to me !! As a car is OEM only once !! Yes, I'm dead jealous !
Merci, Richard ! Très apprécié.
👍
So sad that no one got to enjoy that car.
If only it was a convertible 😐
Original battery??🤣
Great restomod project....,just kidding
One of those cars that is so original you really can’t drive it. A collector car that looses value with every mile you would put on it. I’d rather have a well used one and restore it and drive the hell out of it.
