Car has a buy it now price of $89,900 for 29 days, seller leftcoastclassics, 200 miles reported.

Seller's description:
Stunning, freshly restored 1969 Jaguar XKE E-Type FHC for sale. A handsome Fixed Head Coupe finished in Signal Red with black interior.

Car Number: 1R26555
Body Number: 4R21890
Engine Number: 7R5987-9
Transmission Number: KE6195

This beautifully restored E-Type offers the best of both worlds. A beautiful, high-quality nut/bolt restoration of a number matching car but upgraded to tri-carburation and a Trimec 5-Speed manual with the original 4-speed transmission included. The rebuilt engine starts; runs and drives beautifully. No expense has been spared. As the photos show, everything mechanically has been gone through, restored or replaced. Suspension, braking, and exhaust are all fresh.

The exterior is freshly restored. The already very nice, original needed very little. It was completely stripped to bare metal and beautifully finished in PPG code 73145 Jaguar Signal Red. All of the chrome, trim, rubber was either restored to showroom condition or replaced with SNG Barret replacements. The windscreen and rear window are new. It has new wheels purchased in 2014 with only 200 miles that are wrapped in Redline Michelin X 185-15's. The exterior is truly beautiful and in show condition.

The interior was mostly restored in 2014 with new leather, rugs, panels and more. It has a correct Philips AM/FM Shortwave radio in working condition. Everything in the car is in working, tach rebuilt, clock updated, etc condition (though we are told that the rear window defroster is currently not operational).

This is a stunning, beautifully and thoughtfully restored Xke that has been set up to drive and show.

I purchased this car in November 2019 in Cotati, California. The restoration work was spearheaded through British European Motors. The car was originally black exterior with a red interior but was switched during the restoration to red exterior and black interior. The tremec 5 speed and 3 SU carburetors were added during the restoration. Other than that the car is stock and numbers matching. Having owned another XKE I can tell that this car was extremely well sorted. The owner of British European was a pleasure to deal with.
