The body came factory-finished in beige according to the Jaguar Heritage Trust certificate, and it was refinished in its current shade of red prior to the current owner’s acquisition. The black soft top was subsequently replaced, and equipment includes a matching top boot, a louvered clamshell hood, dual center-exit exhaust outlets, and wraparound chrome bumpers with overriders.

The body came factory-finished in beige according to the Jaguar Heritage Trust certificate, and it was refinished in its current shade of red prior to the current owner’s acquisition. The black soft top was subsequently replaced, and equipment includes a matching top boot, a louvered clamshell hood, dual center-exit exhaust outlets, and wraparound chrome bumpers with overriders. Finish flaws include paint flakes on the hood louvers, an area of lifting paint at the front of the trunk lid, and a tear in the soft top above the left door.
Chrome-finished 15″ wire wheels secured with branded two-eared knock-off nuts are wrapped in Avon tires, and a matching spare wearing an older Vredestein Sprint ST tire is stowed beneath the trunk floor. The selling dealer reports that the brake master cylinder and servo were replaced in 2018, and the brake light switch was replaced in 2021.
The cockpit was re-trimmed in black under current ownership and features leather-upholstered bucket seats, an adjustable steering column, an open glovebox, a passenger-side grab handle, a padded center armrest, Jaguar-logo rubber floor mats, and a push-button Blaupunkt radio.
The wood-rimmed steering wheel fronts a 160-mph Smiths speedometer and a 6k-rpm tachometer with an inset clock as well as gauges for oil pressure, coolant temperature, fuel level, and amperage mounted in the center stack. The five-digit odometer shows 56k miles, approximately 4k of which were added under current ownership. True mileage is unknown.
The 4.2-liter inline-six was reportedly rebuilt under previous ownership and is equipped with triple SU carburetors and polished valve covers. Service in March 2021 included adjusting the carburetors, replacing the ignition wires, and changing the oil.
The number 7E13895-9 stamped on the cylinder head matches the number stamped on the engine block and the chassis plate, photos of which can be viewed in the gallery along with the frame stamping.
Power is sent to the rear wheels through a four-speed manual transmission and a limited-slip differential. The selling dealer reports that the clutch, pilot bearing, and clutch hydraulic cylinders were replaced in 2016.
The Jaguar Heritage Trust certificate indicates a manufacture date of June 30th, 1967, and distribution through Jaguar Cars of New York as well as the factory serial numbers and colors.
