Why am I selling? I just finished a complete restoration of a 1953 XK120 SE and don't have the time to restore another car... This car is complete and is a great candidate for full restoration.

Sellers description:
Unrestored 1966 XKE Roadster. Very solid condition. I purchased this car from a friend who had it in storage for 20 years. I just finished a 4 year restoration of an XK120 Roadster and don't have it in me to do another restoration. This is a matching numbers car. I have owned it for 2 years and cleaned the old gas out of the system, installed a new electric fuel pump, filters, etc, but did not get it running yet. It turns over. Great Series 1, 4.2 Litre car. Since restoring an XKE in 1980, I remember that rot is a major problem. This car is rock solid with rust visible only in bottom of trunk a hole the size of a quarter. Inner and outer sills and floor boards are solid. This car was previously listed and withdrawn because several bidders wanted to know if the engine was original. I had a the engine number verified as original.
