Vehicle History & Overview

According to the factory build-plate, this Jaguar XKE was produced in August 1970. The current owner, one of the partners of the selling dealer, acquired this Roadster in March 2022 and has added less than 1,000 of the 58,900 miles shown. A prior owner provided a document detailing certain service and repairs, including replacement of the convertible top with a Stayfast component in 2020, and notes the car received a refurbishment at some point that included a re-spray in factory British Racing Green. Other notable service/repairs include rebuilding the SU HS8 carburetors and the distributor, upgrading the alternator, and installing new tires in 2019. Modifications include the aforementioned SU HS8 carburetors, internally regulated alternator, and a Kenwood stereo with electric antenna. A zippered tonneau cover, boot cover, jack, tools/bag, factory owner’s manuals, driver’s manual, lubrication chart, and service handbook are included.
