Sellers description:
1969 Jaguar XKE Coupe with low miles and runs like a top. I'm actually selling this car for my uncle who is located in Denton, TX (DFW suburb) and vehicle is available there for inspection over the next week for potential buyers. The auction will be in the no reserve format so the winning bid will be the buyer of the vehicle. This is an amazing ride that has been meticulously maintained by my uncle, who is a retired pilot. Reason I tell you this is that now you can understand the level of care afforded to the Jag.

Here is a brief description from my uncle:

This is a 1969 Jaguar XKE Coupe. They came with a 4.2 Liter in line six engine, and this has a non-original with three SU carbs, probably from a mid to late-70s Jaguar XJ. So, the numbers are not matching, and I do not have the identification plate.
The drive train is strong, the frame is straight and rigid, the body is nearly rust free. The exceptions are a couple spots beneath the fuel filter bowl and beneath the battery. The red paint has become separated from the body in a few areas, so there's some cracking, and in one of these places there is a spot of rust visible. The fuel tank/spare tire well may have some residual corrosion due to the old tank rusting out, but it does not appear to be thru. Doors and hatch are close to being aligned. One point of the hatch touches the body, causing some paint chipping.
The interior is in good to excellent shape. Seat covers are like new, headliner may be original, but looks good. The luggage area is missing a few chrome and rubber trim pieces and the luggage 'divider'. Trim inside the hatch needs re-gluing.
All gauges and exterior lights work. The speedo, though working, searches back and forth for the speed, and needs repair. All accessories will need your attention, including the factory A/C and anything having an electric motor. For instance, I had to clean a couple connectors to get the radiator cooling fans to start running.
I have owned the car since 1996. I had a new clutch installed a couple years later. Around 2000 I stored it, mostly in the garage, awaiting the installation of a new fuel tank, which I did about a year ago. Since then I had five new tires installed, replaced (with new) the plugs, wires, coil, and distributor, a Pertronix. Also added a CoolCat oil filter spin on adapter. Then I put in a new clutch master cylinder.
The cold start cable needs the be anchored beneath the dashboard.
It's a sweet ride, but though I don't need to, I am ready to part with one of the toys.

Nice xke that is from dry climate texas , that says a lot right there . This car is very nice and is a fantastic daily driver , show type car . The car was originally brg but it was repainted in carmen red many years back and they did the firewall and under the hood . the car has been upgraded with the tri carb set up and knock offs to give it the power and the series one look . the chrome is very nice and totally complete, the paint is very glossy but does have some spider webbing if you look very closely but again it is a beautiful car in every way , the seats are done in vinyl but they actually look very close to leather , the dash and interior are super nice but do show some aging again nice but not new. Here is the best part THIS CAR RUNS AND DRIVES LIKE NEW, the transmission , clutch , brakes, starter, etc etc etc are excellent , all the instruments work , the lights all seem to work, even the hand brake light and the choke light and the low fuel light etc . the chassis is rust free underneath and the bonnet is excellent . the air conditioning is complete but it does not blow cold and i havent tried to inspect it but everything is there and the compressor is not locked up, in short if you want a good xke investment that is also a driver this is the one , the series 2 coupe is the most dependable e type jaguar ever . and they can withstand the heat . I will accept 30,000 buy it now or as close as i can get, the odo only shows 54363 miles .

I forgot to mention that this jag has a new gas tank, new tires, repair manuals, car cover, etc , some of the pictures are better than others , this car is gorgeous when freshly detailed , we have so much dust down here that it is impossible to keep my cars looking their best every day.
