For sale: 1966 Series I (fixed head coupe) E-Type Jaguar

Based on the EL Fairmont Ghia, high end features were fitted to the GT along with unique trim characteristics as outlined below.^[17]

• Seat trim: Sports seats were trimmed in a combination of leather and escaine (a mock suede material), with trim code G3. The leather is two-tone Charcoal / Mako Grey, and the escaine material is a lighter grey. The front seats use EL Falcon police seat frames with uniquely designed trim and padding not used on other models. The driver’s seat had adjustable height and thigh support. Driver and passenger seats had adjustable recline, fore and aft adjustment and vertically adjustable lumbar support.
• Door trim: Unique door trims with wood grain and escaine inserts (escaine was applied to the arm rests and upper door card insert). Driver and passenger front door trims have GT badges at the front top containing the vehicle’s unique TVE build number (in the same location as where the Ghia badge would usually be fitted to a Fairmont Ghia). Door cards also incorporate carpeted door bins and chrome finish interior door handles.
• Console and dashboard trim: The centre console storage lid is trimmed in escaine, with the remainder of the console housing finished in the standard grey plastic as applied to other EL models. The rear air-conditioning vents at the rear of the centre console received a burl walnut surround. A velvet pouch containing the locking wheel nut key was originally located in the centre console. The dashboard fascia has a distinct dark grey / black plastic fascia, extending around the base of the gearstick area, and also applied to the steering column. The main fascia has a burl walnut insert applied around the sound system.
  • Automatic vehicles received a burl walnut insert around the gear selector, with a chrome finish selector panel. The selector knob was black perforated leather wrapped, with a chrome finish button. The gear selector panel also features an “adaptive shift” badge.
  • Manual vehicles had a woodgrain / leather gear selector knob with black leather gear stick boot / surround.
  • The handbrake featured black perforated leather and a chrome release button.
• Carpets: Grey loop pile carpets were fitted to all EL GTs. Contoured grey loop pile front floor mats were fitted standard, and featured an embroidered silver GT monogram.
• Steering wheel:  A leather 4-spoke Momo steering wheel with the standard EL Falcon air bag was fitted, including cruise control buttons and dual horns. The wheel had integrated woodgrain trim on the upper and lower wheel rim.
• Instrumentation: 240kph speedometer (with white Tickford logo printed on the gauge face), rpm timer (6,000rpm top, 5,500rpm redline), fuel level, temperature, voltage, oil pressure, high beam warning light, hand brake warning light and a digital trip computer).
