1962 Jaguar XKE Chrome

PRICE LOWERED FROM $125K, MUST SELL ASAP. Garage kept & covered since 1990, recently had engine overhauled with all hoses, lines & fluids replaced, and it now runs like a champ. This car is in MINT CONDITION. Tan Leather interior was just detailed and looks/smells brand spanking new, with brand new carpets. I helped my father restore this vehicle for 2 years in the late 80's. VERY LOW MILEAGE, ONLY 43K ORIGINAL MILES. I hate to let this work of art go, but my father left behind lots of debt so I must sell as soon as possible to settle his estate. One tiny hole in windshield. Title is clear. The vehicle is located in Largo/Seminole area off Park Blvd near intersection of Starkey Rd. (Luxury European Auto next to Dunkin Donuts).
