1969 Jaguar E-Type Series II 4.2 Liter Coupe available in classic British Racing Green. Jaguar Heritage Certificate 50395. Matching numbers VIN 1R25546, engine 7R 3192-9, Body 4R 20684 built December 18, 1968 and dispatched January 15, 1969. Ownership history dating back to 1980, 2 previous owners.

This classic British Racing Green XKE is a solid driver with factory AC and over $12,000 of work and records dating from previous owner in 2016 to 2018.

Work includes: (records to be included)
3 SU carb setup ( increased horsepower/ approx. $4,000 upgrade)
honed cylinders/new rings
Electronic ignition
upgraded fan and radiator shocks replaced in 90s
Vredestein Tires 2016
carbs rebuilt 2016
brake master/clutch master and slave 2016
tie rod/ball joint boots replaced 2017
motor mounts replaced 2017
new stainless steel exhaust 2017
water pump and hoses 2017

This car drives nice and is very presentable but there are a few items that the next owner can improve. The AC does work, but could blow a bit colder. Also, the clutch has some slippage on hard acceleration so this would need to be addressed in the future. Furthermore, the driver side footwell has some corrosion and would benefit from a replacement. The paint is older and showing some patina, but it still presents well in arguably the most desirable and classic color of British Racing Green.
Price: $42,500
