Tell You Heart Heads Up Geneva, March 16 1961. Jaguar unveils that star of the Auto show, a 150 mph race-bred monocoque sports car with independent rear suspension, disc brakes and styling that would become an icon of the 60s. Its name is the Jaguar E-type (or XKE as it will be better known in the United States). Then on May 7, 1968, this particular “Series 1.5” car rolled off of the assembly line in Coventry, England bound for the U.S. Could its builders have imagined then that this car would command the roads well into the next millennium? Although an icon of beauty, this car has been restored to be driven. Affectionately (and with tongue in cheek) known as "Bad Kitty", this E-Type features quite a few all-Jaguar upgrades and enhancements from its full restoration in 2006 that respect the vintage of the car. The transmission is a 5-speed CJ5 unit from Classic Jaguar in Austin, Texas, specifically designed for E-Types with modern features like carbon fiber synchro rings. The original engine was completely rebuilt (light-weight flywheel, new cams, head, & larger valves) and balanced after a triple-Weber carb conversion. Also added were a custom A/C system from Retro A/C, Securon retractable locking three-point seat belts, and an upgraded charging system. Aesthetically, the car has Dayton six-inch wire wheels with Series 1 "eared" knock-off hubs, new (2006) interior upholstery, new (2006) headliner, and new (2006) paint in the car's original Opalescent Silver Gray Metallic color.Aesthetically, the car exudes class and sophistication without being pretentious. But the key differentiator of this car over most other E-Types currently on the market is the way it drives. Bad Kitty is a thoroughbred that is ready for action at the turn of its key. This is a no-excuses high-quality driver whose driving experience is more mechanically immersive than any modern sports car. You get it, turn the key, and go...and go fast you will! But its most impressive feature is inspiration. Watching the dawn light flow over Bad Kitty’s sumptuous compound curves, you'll soon know what all the fuss is about, and why this is an automotive icon.NOTE: Not recommended for those whose hearts are not healthy enough for sex, as both looking at and driving Bad Kitty can induce fainting spells. Car Name: Bad Kitty Year, Make & Model: 1968 Series 1.5 E-Type FHC. (Jaguar does not officially recognize the "Series 1.5" designation, but instead considers these the last of the Series 1s. Enthusiasts, collectors, and even the Jaguar Club of North America (JCNA) use the Series 1.5 moniker for cars made for model-year 1968 because of the significant changes made to the car to improve reliability, and satisfy U.S. safety& emissions regulations that would take effect in 1969. The exterior is the essentially the same as almost all other Series 1 cars made from 1961 - 1967. The big changes were to the cooling system, dash, and headlights.) Chassis Number (used for VIN): 1E35328 NOTE: The VIN number of title matches the chassis number on the data plate. However, the actual chassis number stamped on the "bird cage" front frame section is 1E35528 (one digit off). The Jaguar-Daimler Heritage Trust rendered an opinion supporting the conclusion that there is an error on the data plate. A curious and rare occurrence, but not unheard of. There is no issue with title, nor any contention over the match of the numbers. A copy of their opinion is included in the documentation to be supplied with the car.) The Jaguar-Daimler Heritage Trust issues Heritage Certificates that officially confirm a Jaguar's identification numbers, date of manufacture, delivery destination, and even first owner. Bad Kitty's Heritage Trust Certificate will come with the car. The original mileage is not known, as the odometer was reset during the 2006 restoration. Since then, 19,039 miles have been put on the clock.

We welcome and encourage inspections during the listing time frame. 1969 Jaguar E-Type SII Fixed Head CoupeChassis No. 1R27025Engine No. 7R7969-9 Stunningly Presented SII 2-Seater Coupe Fully Documented 2-Owner car from New Numbers-Matching 4.2 Litre as per Jaguar Heritage Trust Desirably Equipped with Manual Transmission in Striking Colors Proven Concours Class Winner Truly one of the best Jaguar E-Type coupes we have ever had the privilege to offer. Introduced in 1961, the E-Type roadster proved to be an immediate success. Designed under the guidance of Sir William Lyons, the car was a longer and lower version of Jaguar's D-Type. Manufactured between 1961 and 1975, its combination of good looks, high performance, and competitive pricing established the marquee as an icon of 1960s motoring. On its release Enzo Ferrari called it "The most beautiful car ever made". 1R27025 was completed at the Browns Lane Jaguar works on October 8, 1969 as a US market example, distributed through the British Leyland handler in New York. According to the previous and second caretaker, this E-Type is said to have remained with its original owner, an architect, from 1969 until 2013. Carefully stored in a heated garage by its long-term owner Mr. Robert Halander, clocking about 80,000 miles over the course of its lifetime before deciding in 2004 to commission a ground-up restoration entrusted to two well-known restoration establishments.Jaguar expert Walt Osborn of Vintage Jag Works was retained for mechanical aspects of the restoration, while body and paintwork was performed by Troy Lundquist Restorations of Sandy, Utah. The Jaguar's original leather upholstery and trim were carefully preserved rather than restored and highly compliment the exterior's British Racing Green. The bright work was also re-chromed, while the matching numbers 4.2-liter straight six engine was rebuilt. After restoration was complete, the car was driven about 4,500 additional miles by its life-long owner before it was acquired by the second caretaker.Offered with its original owner's operating handbook, Jaguar Heritage Trust certificate, jack, and knock-off hammer, this Coupe has most recently received a Jaguar class win and presents as an exceptional example of the late six-cylinder XKE. The stances of this car is truly breathtaking with an abnormally laser straight body/panel fit, high quality paint, expertly detailed engine bay and a show standard undercarriage. The driving feel is as one would imaging, sporty, tight and very responsive. Overall this is a very "dialed in" turn-key example.Classic Sports Car Show in Park City Utah - Jaguar Class Winner Full Resolution Photos: 1969 Jaguar E-type Coupe$109,500.00Offers Welcomed To learn more about this vehicle, please contact our sales department at (281) 497-1000 or [email protected] Selling Made Simple.
