1966 JAGUAR 'FT' Coupe

Coupé Bertone history:

In 1966, the Italian Jaguar importer Ferruccio Tarchini commissioned Carrozzeria Bertone to build a four-seater coupé based on the Jaguar S-Type saloon, which was displayed on their stand during the 1966 Geneva Motor Show.

Initially it was planned to distribute this limited edition model through the Jaguar sales organisation in Italy and abroad, but in the end production was limited to just the show car and the one offered by GTC.

It was called the Jaguar 'FT', after the initials of Ferruccio Tarchini.

The Geneva show car is still the property of the Tarchini family.

Our car history:

Our particular car is based on the Jaguar 420 platform, and according to the accompanying Jaguar/Daimler Heritage Trust certificate was supplied as a 'CKD' (Completely Knocked Down) car, to be assembled in Italy with Bertone bodywork 

Only two owners from new : It was delivered to a wealthy customer in Madrid in 1966 and stayed there until the previous owner discovered it in a corner of an old garage building

Very original condition. The interior is original: absolutely beautiful

Repainted to its Emerald Green original color in 2015

The engine runs very well and the manual/overdrive gearbox is just perfect

92,430 km from new.

Perfect for Pebble Beach, Villa d'Este or the Goodwood Festival of Speed concours d'élégance.

A unique opportunity to own an ultra-rare and superb Jaguar
