DESCRIPTION

1965 Jaguar E-type 4.2L Series 1 Convertible (VIN: 10171), Carmen Red with a Black convertible top, Black leather and carpet, upgraded JT5-BW 5-spd. transmission, 69,640 indicated miles.

This Jaguar was purchased by a local physician 12/02/2002 from the 2nd owner from Huntersville, NC. It was in need of new floorpans and structural repair, plus a complete service, which it received in 2-phases from March 2003 to May 2005. Phase I (June 2003) this Jaguar was completely disassembled and received new full floorpans, front lower bulkhead and frame rails with all new insulation material and sill foam. Every mechanical part of this car was taken apart and cleaned, repaired or replaced. Phase II (May 2005) included a new convertible top and the installation of a JT5-BW 5-spd. transmission, an alloy flywheel with new clutch and a gear reduction starter motor. The engine compartment was dressed up with polished brightwork valve covers, carb tops, ft breather cover, intake manifold and thermostat housing. The car also received a full service at this time incl. plugs, cap and rotor, ignition wires and loom, valve adjustment and all fluids and filters. An updated alloy radiator was installed and oil pan gaskets were replaced along with re-jetting the carbs. All of the aforementioned work was performed by Jaguars Unlimited of Highland Park, IL. It has received routine maintenance and service since by a local independent shop. Receipts for the aforementioned work total over $66,590.00. Sports Car Market currently shows Series 1 values ranging from $167,200.00 to $324,500.00. This Jaguar XKE has been lovingly cared for by it''s most recent physician owner and it received a complete driver quality restoration over the course of 2 years. It has always been garaged under his ownership and was driven on a regular basis. From the paperwork and photos the car does not appear to have ever been in any type of accident. The body and engine and options are all original and correct to this XKE. The transmission was upgraded so that the car was more enjoyable to drive. This Jaguar was repainted during the restoration in the original exterior color, and shows the expected amount of normal wear from street usage. The paint is excellent and has a beautiful deep shine. The glass is original and very nice with only light wiper marks on the windshield. The interior is exceptionally nice and the carpeting and interior trim is all excellent and the convertible top and headliner are as-new. The chrome is original and was not refinished with the bodywork and paint. This XKE starts easily, even cold, and drives well. While it is not in national show condition, it would make a perfect driver or local show and shine entry. Photos will give you a better idea of the condition of this vehicle, so please request them! New MSRP of approx. $5,700.00, offered at $138,500.00 / best offer. Call or text Brian @ (812) 760-5513 - Evansville, IN 47715.
