Vehicle History Report
This beautiful Series I E-Type Coupe was finished at Jaguar's Coventry works during the fall of 1966, benefiting from the upgraded, fully synchronized manual transmission and the larger 4.2-liter XK engine. It was built just like it appears today, a left-hand drive covered headlight Coupe model, most likely painted black over the black interior. Like many E-Types, this car was destined for the United States.
According to the original manufacturer's warranty card issued for this car and signed in period, Jaguar E-Type Coupe chassis no. 1E33597 was sold new by Peter Satori Motors of Pasadena, California, on December 24th, 1966 - quite a lovely Christmas present indeed - to a John S. Turnbridge of Pasadena, California. Further records in the service and maintenance book shows the Jaguar would be serviced by Satori Motors in the late 1960s. The black E-Type is believed to have remained in California for many years, and kept it in largely original cosmetic condition, bar a repaint at some stage. Inside, the black leather interior is beautifully worn-in with great patina and believed to be mostly original. The classic wood-rimmed steering wheel is in situ, as are the first series toggle switches and original smith gauges.
Original books and manuals in pouch are accompanying the Jaguar, including a correct comprehensive tool roll, jack and knock-off tool. Chrome wire wheels with Michelin X thin red-line tires are fitted, giving the E-Type Coupe its classic and clean look. Overall, the car shows a tasteful amount of patina in and out. While maintaining functionality and operating order, it performed very well on a recent test drive. Powered by the large 4.2 liter inline 6 that the car was delivered with new, this E-Type is equipped with the 4-speed manual fully synchronized transmission and upgraded Weber carburetors. Handling is provided by 4-wheel independent suspension that was so successful for Jaguar that they continued to use the same geometry for years of production with continual successful motorsports pedigree.
