FOR SALE: 1966 Jaguar E-Type 4.7 Roadster
A fully restored RHD home market car, tastefully upgraded and featuring a Rob Beere Racing 4.7 engine.
An original Home Market 4.2 Roadster, ‘PMC 122D’ underwent a professional nut-and-bolt restoration by JC Restorations in 2011. Since then, it has been kept in a dehumidified garage as part of a collection maintained by a full-time mechanic. The engine was built by Rob Beere Racing Services, with the interior trimmed by Suffolk & Turley.
While an original 4.2 E-Type remains a joy to own, modern upgrades can enhance performance, reliability, and comfort. Poorly executed modifications often compromise the car’s integrity, but this example has been expertly engineered to improve speed, safety, handling, and drivability without sacrificing character.
Enhancements include:
• Rob Beere Racing 4.7L engine (320 BHP)
• Aluminium radiator & header tank
• Five-speed aluminium-cased gearbox
• Vented disc brakes with four-pot callipers
• Koni shock absorbers
• Stainless steel exhaust
• Electronic ignition
• Electric power steering & fan
The hand-built engine transforms the driving experience with forged pistons, a billet crankshaft, lightweight flywheel, balanced con rods, larger valves, a 9.5:1 compression ratio, and an extra half-litre of capacity. The result is exceptional power and torque, making this E-Type a thrilling yet refined transcontinental cruiser.
Finished in striking Ionian Blue over red, it presents beautifully. Recently serviced by Guy Broad and supplied with a fresh, advisory-free MOT, this superbly upgraded E-Type is now available for viewing and demonstration at Pendine’s Bicester Heritage showroom.
