Seller's description:
This Series III E-Type 2+2 represents excellent value for the money, as it combines one of the 20th centurys best automotive designs with the history that only a V-12-powered European coupe can provide.

The striking look of the factory wire wheels set this XKE apart from the rest and the automatic transmission makes the car a joy to drive in the city, country or on the highway making it a female friendly and comfortable driver. This is a proper example and is a pleasure to drive and even show, if desired.

There are many E-Types on the market but you will rarely find a V-12 XKE in such good cosmetic and mechanic condition that is all sorted out with over $25k Canadian at our cost in mechanical reconditioning making this one ready to enjoy immediately upon delivery.
