Vehicle Description
Motorcar Studio is pleased to offer this 1969 Jaguar XKE coupe.
This E-type is an excellent driver with superb mechanicals and
desirable air conditioning, showing 62,000 miles. It has been with
the same enthusiast owner for five years here in Atlanta and has
seen an extensive recent mechanical freshening by a marque
specialist. The paint and body show to a nice driver standard and
the trim and chrome are in good original condition; the original
interior has held up well with some wear, mainly on the leather
seating surfaces - it feels broken in without being shabby. The
overall feel is honest and unmolested with just enough patina that
one would not be afraid of extended touring use.
The current owner has done just that, putting about 5,000 miles on
the car on several road trips through the southeast. This Jaguar
has proved quite reliable thanks to a complete drivetrain overhaul
with some choice upgrades. Engine rebuilt including three-angle
valve job, Isky XM-2 grind cams, triple carb setup with early-style
manifold, electronic ignition, new motor and transmission mounts,
cooling system overhaul and spin-on oil filter conversion.
Four-speed manaul gearbox was also rebuilt with new synchros and
new clutch (and hydraulics). Full suspension and brake service
including ball joints; new Vredestein tires. A/C system fully
overhauled, and more. A detailed "spec sheet" with pertinent part
numbers is available.
Ask any Jag enthusiast and you'll hear that although a Series I car
may have a slight edge in the pure design details, a Series II car
is the one to get if you actually want to drive it. We've driven
countless E-types but can't remember one that drives better than
this car. It is truly quick even by modern standards with confident
handling, excellent brakes and an overall "put-together" feel that
is often lacking even in "restored" examples. If you are looking
for a coupe to drive you will be hard pressed to find a better
example.
