Current bid US $28,988, 13 bids 6 days left in auction.

Sellers description:
Series 1 Roadster with triple SU's. Also referred to as a Series 1.5 , This transitional car has the best of both worlds. The lines and smaller bumpers of the Series 1 but improved engine cooling and seats from the Series 2. Unlike the US series 1.5 cars that had the major downfall of detuned twin Stromberg carbs because of changing US emission standards, this Canadian spec XKE was equipped with the triple carbs of the earlier cars making this arguably one of the rarest LHD North American examples .

A 2 owner car , British Columbia Collector plate status. 84,500 miles. Daily Driven until 2001, then driven periodically on permits every summer until 2013. The paint and interior are presentable but show patina, Glass and chrome are all in excellent condition , there is pitting on the side view mirrors. The car has very nice gaps and is straight, there is some rust on the front portion of outer sills. The dash has a crack, and the spokes on the wheels are showing some rust. The rear window on the soft top is foggy and some rear stitching is separating. There is a parking lot ding on passenger front as well as a small dent on the drives door. The floors and trunk are all solid with no issues. The engine and transmission are original and the car is a good driver, it has not been driven in 2 years so I would suggest emptying the tank to put in some fresh fuel , cleaning the carbs and replacing the clutch hydraulic fluid. I can have my mechanic spend a day getting the car road worthy at buyers expense if they choose.
