1966 Jaguar E-Type

1966 Jaguar XKE Series One Coupe in highly original condition. Construction was completed on the 27th of April, 1966 and delivered to Bartlesville, Oklahoma in the early fall of the same year. On August 9th, 1966, Herbert Hyatt would take out a loan for $4,032 from the First National Bank in Bartlesville, OK, to purchase his brand new Jaguar XKE Coupe. Mr. Hyatt would become the long-term owner of this spectacular Jaguar for 49 years until his passing in 2015. Meticulous documentation from Mr. Hyatt records any and all service work ever completed during his ownership, filling an entire booklet with detailed notes and specifications. While the car was maintained mechanically to the highest standard, Mr. Hyatt was ahead of his time by understanding the value of keeping the car in original cosmetic condition. The XKE retains most of its original paint, and the original interior is in superb original condition. During the mid-1970s Mr. Hyatt would move his family and his beloved XKE to the Sunshine State, where the XKE would live out its days. Upon Mr. Hyatt’s passing in 2015, the very original XKE would be passed down to his son, who cared for the vehicle until 2018.I purchased it in 201, the numbers matching engine was completely rebuilt. The fuel system was completely overhauled including a new fuel tank and rebuild of the three Solex carburetors. A stainless steel exhaust system replaced the old steel exhaust with the original exhaust tips re-installed to maintain their period appearance. A full service was completed to the entire braking system including all new rubber lines. The transmission was disassembled and re-sealed and a new clutch, throw-out bearing and master cylinder were installed. The front suspension received new torsion bars, bushings and ball joints. The rear suspension was overhauled and received all new bushings. The original seats were carefully disassembled and repaired to maintain their impeccable condition for years to come and a new carpet set was made and installed in house.I'm open to offers.
