Vehicle Description
1969 Jaguar XKE Low Coupe. Equipped with its factory original
matching numbers silky smooth dual overhead cam in-line six
cylinder 4.2L engine and its factory 4 speed manual transmission. I
would consider this to be a survivor quality example of one of the
most sought after iconic sports cars. The Jaguar Heritage
Certificate indicates that the car was built in June of 1969 and
then imported to the United States, sold new in New York and then
subsequently lived most of its early life in Refugio, Texas. The
last year of registration was 1980 as indicated by the window
sticker still in place. From Texas the car fell into the hands of a
respected collector from Asbury Park, NJ for over 20 years. He
seldom used the E-Type as his collection was enormous. Several
years ago I secured its purchase and have lovingly and respectfully
brought this classic to its current condition. The E-Type was
entrusted to Ed Miller of Stormville NY where he was given
liberties to bring the car to its current cosmetic and mechanical
condition. I have receipts amounting to about 15,000 dollars, all
done in the past 9 months. A compression check was done on the
engine and the perfect results were recorded by Mr. Miller. This is
an example of a survivor quality automobile. The engine bay
represents what a properly maintained original mechanical E-Type
should look like. The rotisserie restoration crowd frequently looks
for engine compartments such as this so that after they disassemble
a car they can see what it was originally supposed to look like!!
The Willow Green paint is mostly original and there is no evidence
of any trauma to the body panels. This is one of the most desirable
colour combinations. Rust is not a consideration. Its Cinnamon
Connolly leather is totally original. Wilton carpeting as well. It
enjoys its original Philips push button AM/FM transistor stereo
radio. The brightwork is all from new and shows well despite its 53
year age. The 5 original wire wheels are wrapped
