1965 Jaguar XKE Series I 4.2 Roadster

This 1965 Jaguar XKE Series I roadster was refurbished under prior ownership and is powered by a 4.2-liter inline-six linked to a four-speed manual transmission. The car is finished in Opalescent Silver Blue with a blue soft top and boot cover, and it is equipped with a limited-slip differential, chrome 15″ wire-spoke steel wheels, power-assisted disc brakes, triple windshield wipers, a louvered clamshell hood, and a rear luggage rack. The bucket seats are trimmed in blue leather and are joined by a retro-look radio, a sliding rearview mirror, and a heater. This XKE Series I roadster is now offered on dealer consignment with a tool roll, a Jaguar Heritage Trust Certificate, and a California title.

The Series I E-Types were equipped with covered headlights and taillights mounted above the chrome rear bumpers. This example is finished in Opalescent Silver Blue, and additional equipment includes a blue soft top and boot cover, a louvered clamshell hood, a rear luggage rack, wraparound chrome bumpers, triple windshield wipers, and dual exhaust outlets.

Chrome 15″ wire wheels are secured by two-eared knock-offs and are mounted with 205/70 Michelin XA4 tires. Braking is provided by four-wheel discs with inboard-mounted rear rotors.

The bucket seats are upholstered in blue leather and are joined by color-coordinated door panels. Interior appointments include black vinyl dashboard trim, a padded armrest, lap belts, a retro-look radio, a sliding rearview mirror, and a heater.

The wood-rimmed steering wheel frames a Smiths 160-mph speedometer and 6k-rpm tachometer, while auxiliary gauges for coolant temperature, oil pressure, fuel level, and amperage are located in the center of the dashboard. The five-digit odometer shows 21k miles. Total mileage is unknown.

The 4.2-liter inline-six features triple SU carburetors and was factory rated at 265 horsepower and 283 lb-ft of torque.

The cylinder head stamp is shown above.

Power is routed to the rear wheels through a full-synchromesh four-speed manual transmission and a limited-slip differential.
