This OTS XKE was the subject of a major strip-to-metal restoration
some years ago and has enjoyed an easy life of car shows and casual
weekend drives ever since. The work included a complete engine
overhaul and all the associated subsystems, plus the car has had
ongoing service & maintenance. Originally from Texas, rust was
never an issue and the monocoque & bonnet remain straight and
solid.A well-sorted Series I is considered the most desirable XKE
by many, with its covered headlights, toggle-switch dash, small
taillights and the lively 3.8 engine with triple carburetors. And
what could be better than British Racing Green with Tan
interior?!
The car comes with a file of past records, photos of the
restoration in progress, the original owner's book & keys plus a
factory shop manual and other literature. XKE roadsters have always
been a 'blue chip' collectable, and their values have historically
trended upwards. Recently they have climbed dramatically with
top-drawer examples over $300K with many no nicer than this car now
in the low-to-mid $200s. However, this car no longer has original
colors or a matching engine number, so no matter how nice it is, it
must be described as a 'driver,' albeit a really fine one.
Consequently, it represents a great value for any enthusiast who
wants to enjoy driving the car rather than worrying about (and
paying for) minutia.Bonus! Included with the car is a factory
hardtop (that needs minor work)!
