Vehicle Description
West Coast Classics are proud to present a very solid and rust free
example of this 1968 Jaguar XKE E-Type Series II 2+2 automatic
coupe with it's original matching number 6 cylinder 4.2L/246HP
engine! The car had been garaged for many years before we purchased
it and got it running and it will be sold by us as a running
project that will need further mechanical and electrical work and
some cosmetic attention. It boasts all five original Jaguar chrome
wire wheels and it's original 4.2L engine.The car was always
garaged by its previous long time California owner for many years
and the floor boards, trunk and all the typical rust-prone areas
are completely solid and rust-free! The car has no signs of any
major accidents and has a very straight body. It's Red color paint
is in very good condition and the car looks extremely impressive
but please note there are some minor touch ups and signs of
overspray in the paint noticeable upon close inspection and the
gauges and lights are not working and the interior is showing some
wear in the form of a tear in the passenger seat and some
weatherstripping coming apart, etc. Please note that the car
currently has its spare tire on the driver side front wheel and the
original spare wire wheel located in the trunk has the other
White-wall tire on it.The Series II XKE E-Type Jaguar was only
built between the years 1968-71 and there were only 5,326 Longer
Wheel Base 2+2 coupes built with most of these models sporting an
automatic transmission. This is therefore a rare opportunity for
the Jaguar or British classic sports car enthusiast who is looking
to buy a running and mostly all original and unmolested rust free
example of a southern California 1968 Jaguar XKE Series 1.5 4.2L
2+2 seater coupe which is an ideal candidate as a project car for
the enthusiast to restore and 'take all the way' or simply a car
which with some mechanical attention could be a great daily driver
for any European classic sports car lover to enjoy today!
