This 1965 Jaguar XKE Series I coupe has been in Oregon since new and was acquired by the current owner in 2013. A refurbishment completed that same year by Consolidated Auto included rebuilding the 4.2-liter inline-six and four-speed manual transmission. The car is finished in Carmen Red over black leather upholstery and is equipped with covered headlights, 15″ wire wheels, an alloy radiator, four-wheel disc brakes, and a limited-slip differential. This XKE is now offered on dealer consignment in Portland, Oregon, with a Jaguar Heritage Trust Certificate, an owner’s manual, service records, and a clean Oregon title.

The car was delivered from the factory in Opalescent Golden Sand and was repainted in its current shade of Carmen Red in the 1980s. Series I features include covered headlights, a louvered clamshell hood, taillights mounted above the wraparound chrome bumpers, and triple windshield wipers. Additional equipment includes a driver-side mirror, a side-hinged rear hatch, and dual exhaust outlets. The windshield washers are inoperative.

The 15″ wire wheels are secured by two-eared knock-offs and were mounted with 205/65 Yokohama Avid Ascend tires in 2020. The car is equipped with power-assisted four-wheel disc brakes with inboard rear rotors. The rear brake cylinders and steering rack mounts were recently replaced.

The cabin features bucket seats upholstered in black leather with color-coordinated door panels and carpets. Appointments include black vinyl dash trim, a heater, and an aftermarket radio.

The wood-rimmed steering wheel frames Smiths instrumentation including a 160-mph speedometer and a 6k-rpm tachometer. Auxiliary gauges for coolant temperature, oil pressure, fuel level, and amperage are located in the center of the dashboard. The five-digit odometer shows 38k miles.

The 4.2-liter inline-six was factory-rated at 265 horsepower and 283 lb-ft of torque. The engine was rebuilt by Consolidated Auto in 2013, and work at that time included rebuilding the triple SU carburetors and replacing ignition components, seals, hoses, and engine mounts. An aluminum radiator and an electric fan have been installed.

The cylinder head stamping, 7E5790-9, matches the number listed on the accompanying Jaguar Heritage Trust certificate.

The full-synchromesh four-speed manual transmission was also rebuilt in 2013, at which time the flywheel was resurfaced. Power is sent to the rear wheels through a limited-slip differential.

The Jaguar Heritage Trust certificate shows the original colors, build and dispatch dates, and drivetrain numbers.

The car’s chassis number is 1E31844. The VIN on the title omits the leading 1E.
