Pendine is offering this Jaguar E-Type Series 1 4.2 Roadster for sale. A fully restored home market car, tastefully upgraded and featuring a Rob Beere Racing 4.7 engine.
1966 Jaguar E-Type Series 1 4.2 Roadster
Chassis: 1E1527
‘PMC 122D’ is an original Home Market 4.2 Roadster. It was professionally restored in 2011 by JC Restorations in Northern Ireland with a well-documented and complete ‘nut and bolt’ process, since when the car was kept in a dehumidified garage as part of a collection maintained by a full-time mechanic. Rob Beere Racing Services built the engine and Suffolk & Turley were recruited for the interior.
An original 4.2 E-Type is a lovely car to own but now, almost sixty years later, they can be uprated, and updated, to ensure they are better equipped for modern traffic. Given the plethora of options available it is easy to ‘bolt on’ modifications but much more difficult to produce a well-engineered result that will enhance speed, safety, handling, comfort and reliability. The restoration and specification of this car does exactly that.
The enhancements include:
- Rob Beere Racing Services ‘4.7 engine’
- Aluminium radiator
- Aluminium header tank
- Five speed aluminium-cased gearbox
- Vented disc brakes & four pot callipers
- Koni shock absorbers
- Stainless steel exhaust
- Electronic ignition
- Electric power steering
- Electric fan
The Bob Beere Racing engine produces a real 320 BHP, utterly transforming the driving experience, both in absolute power and the all-important torque. The hand-built engine includes forged pistons, billet crankshaft, lightweight flywheel with lip seal, aligned and balanced con rods, larger valves, a compression ratio of 9.5, an extra half litre in capacity, and much more.
Finished in Ionian Blue over red, this E-Type presents incredibly well, and with the upgrades – and specifically the 5 speed gearbox – it makes a superb, transcontinental cruiser.
Just serviced by Guy Broad, supplied with a new MOT without advisories.
Available now for viewing and demonstration at Pendine’s Bicester Heritage showroom.
