1966 Jaguar XKE 4.2 Coupe
If you're looking for a great investment on an original, great looking, mechanically excellent (though not concourse perfect) daily driver that turns heads at all car shows... you won't find a better car for the money. This car is the fastest XKE I've ever driven.

I've spent over $45,000 (includes price of car), and two years restoring this car to cosmetic driver condition including (receipts supplied): The leather interior is new, the chrome is mostly new, the wire wheels and tires are new, the engine compartment and components are neatly detailed, polished, and the paint is a beautiful burgundy, close to original but prettier although not perfect. 85,000 miles.

Restoring features include but not limited to:

New leather interior and seats
Rebuilt gauges
New chrome
New wire wheels
New top
Original jack, manuals, spare wire tire
New tires
Detail engine compartment and engine
New brakes
New brake master cylinder and lines
Rebuild carburetors

Some new rubber molding
Replace all fluids
New choke cable
New grab handle
Rebuild radiator
Clean and adjust horns
New upper and lower bushings
New seat belts and kit
New side mirrors
New vacuum reservoir tank
New servo booster
Rebuilt head (non matching number)
Paint sugar scoops
New headlights
Rebuild steering column and rewire
Replace old wiring
