Classic Car Marketing, Inc. Southern California’s premier marketing company is pleased to introduce this new listing offered for sale by one of our clients.
Model year 1965 was an important year for the Jaguar XKE. It was the first year for the 4.2 Liter engine, all synchromesh four speed gear box, alternator, copper cross flow radiator, electric fuel pump external to the fuel tank and more comfortable seats. These were great upgrades while still retaining the iconic covered headlights and rear tail lights above the bumper.
This 1965 Jaguar XKE was taken out of daily driving in 1985 and with only a few drives since then just sat in the garage until 2014 when the present owner acquired the car with 55,918 miles showing on the odometer. He was personally involved in the meticulous restoration which took nearly 5 years. The car has been meticulously restored to its original as delivered condition. It still has the original engine, transmission and independent rear suspension. The original fasteners, clamps, brackets, accessories, wire wheels, brakes and suspension, gauges, etc. have been refurbished to original condition wherever possible. The upholstery and convertible top is all new. It is now essentially a new car as first delivered in 1965.
