original triple SU carburetors amp; original 4 speed manual

color paint and with its faded but all original 'Light Blue/Gray'
leather interior with wooden steering wheel, original California

knock-off wheels amp; original mallet!This is a truly marvelous
mostly all original and stock example of this coveted first series
of E-Type Jaguars, with the legendary glass covered headlights,
small 'mouth' opening at the front, 4.2L liter engine with the
triple SU carburetors, aircraft style toggle switches and rear tail
and signal lamps positioned handsomely above the chrome rear
bumper!It is also of considerable note that this fine example has
been under only two southern California family ownership since new!
So here it is, a completely unrestored, apart from one older
repaint in it's original 'Opalescent Silver Blue' factory color
paint, original southern California 1965 Jaguar XKE E-Type Series 1
Coupe with the 4 speed manual transmission coupe and with it's all
original interior amp; original matching #'s 6 cylinder 4.2/265HP
engine amp; transmission with four original Jaguar chrome knock off
spoked wire wheels, handbooks and spare chrome wire wheel! The car
is reported to have only some 45K original miles by its previous
long time owners who reportedly purchased the car over thirty years
ago from its original southern California owners and who had stored
it in their dry southern California enclosed garage, with it being
used only sparingly in recent years! We recently purchased the car
from an agent for the second southern California owners and the car
shows obvious signs of "pride of ownership" and drives very well
indeed.The car has a razor straight and is a virtually rust free
California car apart from some very minor bubbling in the rear end
assembly; it is a prime candidate for a full cosmetic restoration
for the Jaguar enthusiast or simply a great daily driver for any
classic British sports car lover! The floor boards and all the
typical rust-prone areas are completely solid, original and
rust-free! The car has no signs of any accidents of any kind and
has a razor straight body and sports its original factory
'Opalescent Silver Blue' color older repaint which has some light
scratches and a couple of small dents and imperfections from its
many years spent 'unattended' in the garage and yet the car's all
original leather interior is still quite impressive with both front
bucket seats, the door panels, headliner, dashboard and carpets all
quite original and in very presentable condition throughout. Please
note the car also has it's original spare wire knock off wheel in
the trunk. This is therefore an extremely rare opportunity for the
Jaguar or British classic sports car enthusiast who is looking to
buy a great and mostly all original and unrestored rust free
example of an original southern California 1965 Jaguar XKE Series I
4.2L coupe with its highly desirable all matching #'s engine and 4
speed manual transmission with believed to be only some 45K
original miles the perfect potential candidate for the enthusiast
to restore all the way to its former glory or simply a great daily
driving 'barn find' for any classic sports car collector!Engine #
