Interior is superb - seats appear to have been recently reupholstered in correct leather. Heritage Certificate inbound and will verify all numbers and colors. This is absolutely one of the best original series II E-types we've seen in many years - they just don't exist in this condition anymore.

Equipment includes chrome wire wheels, a period trio-band radio, and a modern aluminum radiator added prior to current ownership. This XKE is offered with a Jaguar Heritage Trust Certificate and a clean Colorado title in the seller’s name.

The five-digit odometer shows 34k miles, approximately 100 of which were added under current ownership. Total mileage is unknown.

Power is sent to the rear wheels through a four-speed manual transmission.
