1966 Jaguar XKE Series I 4.2 Coupe 4-Speed

This 1966 Jaguar XKE Series I 4.2 coupe is powered by a 4.2-liter inline-six paired with a four-speed manual transmission and limited-slip differential. Finished in Opalescent Silver Gray over black leather, it is equipped with covered headlights, 15-inch wire-spoke wheels, four-wheel disc brakes, triple windshield wipers, and air conditioning.

The Series I body features a louvered bonnet, wraparound chrome bumpers, bright trim, a driver-side mirror, and a side-hinged rear hatch. Records document front-bumper and headlight work in November 2004, boot-floor panel installation and door-lock service in February 2006, and bumper rechroming by Art Brass in 2010. A 2014 inspection report describes damage to a heater pipe and an exhaust header tube.

The 15-inch wire-spoke wheels are secured by two-eared knock-offs and mounted with 185-section Universal Sport Redline tires. Braking is provided by four-wheel discs with inboard-mounted rear rotors. Suspension work in February 2009 included an adjustable torsion-bar reaction plate and the replacement of rear springs and shocks. The brake master cylinder, booster, vacuum hoses, and brake line were replaced in June 2010. In December 2025, the Dunlop brake calipers and Lockheed brake master cylinder were rebuilt.

The cabin features black leather bucket seats, black vinyl dash trim, crank windows, and air conditioning. The speaker covers and grilles, glovebox liner, handbrake seal, shift gaiter, millboard set, and Hardura trim was replaced in 2007, and BAS installed leather seats and carpeting. Two loose console pieces were recovered in May 2025; the original dash console accompanies the car.

The wood-rimmed Nardi steering wheel frames Smiths instrumentation including a 160-mph speedometer and a 6k-rpm tachometer, while auxiliary gauges for coolant temperature, oil pressure, fuel level, and amperage are located in the center of the dashboard. A Smiths voltmeter with a black bezel was installed in 2026. The oil-pressure gauge and sending unit were replaced in 2010. The five-digit odometer shows 87k miles, approximately 50 of which were added under current ownership.
