This stunning Jaguar XKE V12 is the last year of production for the icon of British spots cars. It is a documented two owner example with ultra low original miles. We have the Heritage Trust Certificate confirming a matching numbers example originally purchased in New York and then driven straight thru to Illinois where it still remains. It was used occasionally until 2003 when it was taken off the road and stored until the owner passed away. The second owner purchased the Jaguar V12 in 2020, from the widow and had an extensive mechanical refurbish by Northshore Sportscars. There is a 3 ring binder with documents dating back to to 1974 including original sale documents and service invoices thru the present. The original window sticker, owners manual, warranty binders, and British Heritage Certificate are all part of this wonderful historic vehicle record. This unrusted and undamaged Jaguar XKE shows light patina but still wears the original 50 year old special order silver paint and has the original interior from new. It is equipped with optional chrome wire wheels, 4 speed manual transmission, and factory air conditioning.

As the old saying goes, "they are only new once" and this is the one!
