An iconic British roadster brought back to its prime
With its impossibly long bonnet, low stance, and perfect proportions, this 1967 Jaguar XKE Series I 4.2 Roadster is as much a work of art as it is a sports car. Finished in a rich Opalescent Maroon, it has been fully restored and is ready for the kind of top-down drives that stick in your memory.
Everything about it, from the gleam of the chrome to the sound of that straight-six, reminds you why the E-Type has been an icon for nearly six decades. This particular Jaguar XKE with low miles is for sale on Exotic Car Trader, and you can check out the listing by clicking here.

Period-correct details, inside and out
If you’ve ever wondered what “getting it right” looks like in automotive design, here it is. The factory-correct Opalescent Maroon paint absolutely glows in the sunlight, perfectly offset by chrome trim and a black convertible top. Put the top down, and the lines get even better—pure ‘60s roadster magic. A set of factory wire wheels completes the look.
Inside, it feels like a time capsule. The black leather interior has been beautifully preserved, with original components, like the car's factory steering wheel, dash layout, and even its Blaupunkt radio. Every toggle switch, gauge, and stitch in the leather feels like it belongs here, and if you know your E-Types, you’ll appreciate how right it all looks.
The mechanical heart of a legend
Under that impossibly long hood lives Jaguar’s legendary 4.2-liter inline-six with dual overhead cams. It’s the same heart that made these cars so special when they were new. This one benefits from a few smart updates for better reliability and drivability: the current owner reports a larger aluminum radiator and fan to keep things cool, plus a 90-amp alternator to keep the electrics happy. Power goes to the rear wheels through a 5-speed manual gearbox, giving you a little extra flexibility over the original 4-speed without losing the vintage feel.
When it’s time to slow things down, Wilwood front disc brakes give you more stopping power than the factory setup, making it just as confident coming to a halt as it is pulling away.
Final thoughts
This 1967 Series I 4.2 Roadster has that unmistakable E-Type stance, the kind of curves that seem to move even when the car’s parked, and a restoration that means you can actually drive it without holding your breath. The upgrades are smart, the condition speaks for itself, and the overall vibe is pure, unfiltered classic Jaguar.
