It has had a complete engine overhaul and is excellent running condition. The exterior has been completely detailed and is in pristine condition. All matching numbers. Current California license plates and registered through Aug 2008.

The wheel base is 96 inches. Left hand steering column. The tire tread and interior are all in outstanding condition. And this car is a blast to drive!

Tranny said to be in Highland Park, Illinois.

Comes complete with Bell Housing (No shift fork). This transmission was removed to be replaced with a modern 5 speed transmission; it works fine, but an overhaul and reseal is always a good idea. The oil was recently drained and replaced. EJ151612

This stunning E-Type has been owned and maintained by the purest of enthusiasts. Finished in the Original Opalescent Silver Grey the exterior compliments the Black Leather interior perfectly. The beautiful paintwork and attention to detail on this Jag continues throughout the entire car, and is why this XKE is a show winner.

This Jaguar has the 4.2 Liter, six-cylinder double-cam engine, sporting 2 Zenith-Stromberg Carbs and produces an impressive 246 horsepower. This engine as well as the rest of the drivetrain was completely refurbished by the best of the best and no bolt was left unturned. The syncro-mesh manual gear box and hydraulic clutch work together perfectly when driving this XKE, as well as the independent suspension and disc brakes. All these items together made the E-Type a true supercar. Sliding into the driver's seat gives you the feeling of fine sports car craftsmanship. The classic Jaguar engine sound coupled with the forces felt by the quick acceleration and tight cornering of this sports car make for a very exciting experience! This well maintained sports car comes Highly Documented. Ownership history and service records from the day it left the show room floor are included.
