Even among seasoned enthusiasts, it remains one of those rare machines that doesn't just age gracefully, it actually seems to gain presence over time. This 1966 Series 1 Fixed Head Coupe represents that ideal in its most classic form, with the long bonnet, covered headlamps, and perfectly proportioned fastback coupe profile that defined an entire era of automotive design. Finished in elegant Opalescent Dark Green over black leather, the color combination suits the E-Type's flowing lines perfectly, emphasizing every curve without distraction. The Series 1 4.2 cars are especially sought after, benefiting from the more developed engine and the desirable fully synchronized 4-speed manual transmission, offering a driving experience that feels mechanical, direct, and deeply engaging in a way modern cars simply cannot replicate. This example carries meaningful provenance, documented with a Jaguar Daimler Heritage Trust Production Record Trace Certificate (No. 31324) and further recognized through its feature in Hemmings Sports & Exotic Car (April 2014), underscoring its long-standing appeal within the enthusiast community. It reflects a car that has been appreciated, studied, and admired beyond just casual ownership. An older restoration, it continues to present very well today, showing the kind of character that only comes with time and careful stewardship. The black leather interior remains simple and purposeful, reinforcing the E-Type's original intent as a grand touring sports car meant to be driven and enjoyed, not overcomplicated. Accompanied by its tool kit and built on Jaguar's independent suspension and four-wheel disc braking system, this E-Type delivers the balance of beauty and engineering that made it an icon from the moment it was introduced. More than just one of the most recognizable shapes in automotive history, it remains one of the most emotionally compelling driving experiences ever created. https://www.throttlestop.com/vehicles/1686/1966-jaguar-e-type-fixed-head-coupe 1966 Jaguar Other https://hotrodhotline.com/forsale/vehicles/jaguar/other/1966/listing/252345 For sale is a truly bespoke masterpiece of automotive engineering and design: a 1966 Jaguar E-Type custom speedster, hand-built by David Welky of Design Velky in Cedarburg, Wisconsin. Currently located at The Throttlestop in Elkhart Lake, WI, this vehicle is not just a restoration; it is a complete reimagining of the British classic, drawing heavy inspiration from the legendary D-Type racers and the Lindner/Nocker Low Drag Lightweights. Born from a 1966 Series 1 2+2 Long Wheelbase, this vehicle was completely acid-dipped and reconstructed using short-wheelbase floor pans and sills to achieve perfect proportions. The result is a stunning "wide-body" configuration that blends steel and hand-formed aluminum. The builder, with over 25 years of trade experience, dedicated 50-60 hours a week in 2023 solely to this project, ensuring a level of focus and craftsmanship rarely seen in modern builds. Under the bonnet lies a stroked 4.7L inline-six engine (based on the 4.2L block) delivering an impressive claimed 435 lb-ft of torque in a car weighing only ~2,100 lbs. It breathes through three 45mm DCOE twin-choke Weber carburetors and exhales through a custom 6-tube header. Power is managed by a legendary Muncie M22 "Rock Crusher" 4-speed manual transmission with straight-cut gears, providing a raw, visceral driving experience. The bodywork features a custom aluminum "cockpit delete" panel, turning the car into a single-seater focused machine, though the panel is removable for a passenger. The exterior includes custom touches like a "hump" behind the driver, additional bonnet louvers, and a hand-formed bug deflector. The interior is pure vintage motorsport: chronometric-style gauges angled toward the driver (D-Type style), a rigid-mounted steering column for maximum road feel, and a stripped-back aesthetic that still offers refined leather touches on the sills and tunnel. This is a rare opportunity to own a "1 of 1" vehicle where every bracket, panel, and component was either restored or hand-fabricated in-house by Design Velky. https://www.throttlestop.com/vehicles/1522/1966-jaguar-e-type-le-mans-by-design-velke 1966 Jaguar Other
