Up for sale is my 1968 XKE Jaguar in outstanding, unmolested condition. The past owner had it for over 20 years and we both feel confident that the mileage at approximately 67,000 is correct.
This car drives as tight, strong and straight as my late model Porsche. The gear box is in excellent condition and has syncro in ALL forward gears. You will see from the pictures that it is a Series 1.5 which included upgrades to the interior and some upgrades to the mechanical systems. The color is a beautiful Primrose Yellow which has had an overspray about 15 years ago. This was the original color when delivered, and has a black leather interior. The paint has two very small "star" like cracks on the deck lid and a few other minor scratches and blems which are not noticable to most people. There is, however, a very small dent on the right front fender. I have tried to show these few blems in the included pictures but they are very hard to see (even in person).
The interior shows some wear on the console and doors and the steering wheel needs to be revarnished, but for a 40 year old original interior, it is in excellent condition. The top is virtually new and the back window is clear. It fits tight and true--it has rarely been up as both the prior owner and I never drove it in the rain unless there was no choice. The chrome wire wheels are straight and true and have no rust. All the guages except for the clock, work correctly. The oil pressure and water temp are fine in and out of traffic.
You can see that the car has virtually no rust on the underside and frame. The car has no rust that I can see on any of the panels. The exhaust system is in fine condition. The glass in the doors and windshield have no cracks but there is a small scratch on the windshield from a wiper blade. I am trying to acurately describe all the things that a Jag expert would notice.
This is an excellent example of a well maintained XKE that with minimal cost and effort can be a "Best of Show" winner. With NO effort you will have a beautiful "driver" that will win "the peoples' choice" award.
