Vehicle Description
Gateway Classic Cars of Tampa is proud to offer this truly gorgeous
1965 Jaguar E-Type Convertible. This 1965 E-Type Series 1 for sale
is stunning with its blue and red leather interior with a darker
Blue convertible top. This incredible example of late sixties
British sports cars in my option has the sweetest body lines of any
car, ever! With the long bonnet stretching out in front of you
almost beckoning you further down the road, it is almost like the
car is telling you just one more mile, just one more curve where
you hit the apex perfectly. The hardest part of owning a car like
this is pulling to a stop in your garage and twisting the key to
shut her down. Tucked under that long bonnet is the orginal numbers
mathcing 4.2 Liter dual overhead cam inline six cylinder that was
an upgrade from the previous 3.8 and mated to the orignal 4 speed
manual transmission. The 4.2-litre engine produced the same power
as the 3.8-litre 265 bhp and same top speed at 150 mph, but
increased torque approximately 10% from 240 to 283 lb ft.
Acceleration remained pretty much the same and 0 to 60 mph times
were around 6.4 seconds for both engines, but maximum power was now
reached at 5,400 rpm instead of 5,500 rpm on the 3.8-litre. This
meant better throttle response for drivers that did not want to
shift down gears. The 4.2-litre's block was completely redesigned,
made longer to accommodate 5 mm larger bores, and the crankshaft
modified to use newer bearings. Other engine upgrades included a
new alternator/generator and an electric cooling fan for the
radiator. This E Type for sale has been cared for lovingly and it
shows everywhere. The interior is crisp, gauges are easy to read
with faces that are bright and the glass clean. Once behind the
steering wheel of this 1965 Jaguar for sale your hands just fall
into place and by that, I mean shifter and steering wheel are in
just that right spot! Jaguar E types are in high demand and rightly
so, with a limited production of only 9,550 Roadster produced from
1965 through 1968. If you do not already have one, then your
collection is not complete. Here is your chance to put the
proverbial cherry on top and this E-Type only has 59, 365 actual
orginal miles! Options for this '65 Jag E type for sale include: AM
radio, Red Leather interior, Seat belts, knock off rims that are
wrapped in radial tires, and so much more! Notable upgrades worth
mentioning are the electronic ignition and back up fuel pump! This
