PRICE REDUCED $6,000! This is a stunning 1973 Jaguar XKE Coupe that
has been in California and Arizona with a mere 40,600 miles
travelled since new. Benefitting from updated cosmetics, this is a
beautiful example in the striking Opalescent Maroon complimented
with more modern Jaguar wheels. The automatic transmission and air
conditioning make it a pleasure to drive. This Jaguar was built in
June of 1973 and was first registered in California in July of
1973. By January of 2013, the present owner, Phil Pheiler, acquired
her from her previous Palm Springs, CA owner having accumulated
39,681 miles. Mr. Pheiler serviced the Jaguar and used it sparingly
over the past decade. It now has accumulated 40,600 miles from new.
The beautiful Opalescent Maroon is in very nice condition and has
incredible shine and luster. In the sunshine, the opalescence
lights up the paint whereas in the shade or evening it appears a
dark and rich maroon. There is a very small blemish in the paint
about 1.5 inches in diameter that is shown in the photo gallery on
the passenger side rear fender. Otherwise, the paint is beautiful
for touring, regional shows or weekend use. The chrome and
stainless is in excellent condition as one would expect from a
40,000-mile example. The traditional E-Type wheels have been
upgraded with a more modern Jaguar chrome wheel, likely from the
early 1990's. The look is simply stunning as it truly subtly
updates the look of the car. The interior features Maroon Leather
that we believe was replaced with a non-perforated leather. The
leather is very soft and supple and compliments the exterior color
perfectly. The dash and steering wheel are in excellent condition
with no cracking or issues. The center console armrest does have
some cracking. The instrumentation and air conditioning all work
well. This Jaguar features the automatic transmission, power
steering, power brakes and air conditioning. The engine compartment
holds the venerable 5.3-liter V12 aluminum engine with four
Zenith-Stromberg carburetors. The engine compartment is clean and
in nice condition. The chassis and undercarriage are free of rust
and damage. The spare wheel is the original Jaguar rim and the
spare tire is non-matching. This Jaguar comes complete with a
service manual, owner's manual and some servicing receipts. The
Hagerty No. 2 value is $85,900 and the No. 3 value is $56,900. The
NADA value is $73,350. We have this priced fairly. For more

available for inspection at our Phoenix showroom.
