DESCRIPTION
Classic Car Marketing, Inc. Southern California’s premier marketing company is pleased to introduce this new listing offered for sale by one of our clients.
Model year 1965 was an important year for the Jaguar XKE. It was the first year for the 4.2 Liter engine, all synchromesh four speed gear box, alternator, copper cross flow radiator, electric fuel pump external to the fuel tank and more comfortable seats. These were great upgrades while still retaining the iconic covered headlights and rear tail lights above the bumper.
This 1965 Jaguar XKE was taken out of daily driving in 1985 and with only a few drives since then just sat in the garage until 2014 when the present owner acquired the car with 55,918 miles showing on the odometer. He was personally involved in the meticulous restoration which took nearly 5 years. The car has been meticulously restored to its original as delivered condition. It still has the original engine, transmission and independent rear suspension. The original fasteners, clamps, brackets, accessories, wire wheels, brakes and suspension, gauges, etc. have been refurbished to original condition wherever possible. The upholstery and convertible top is all new. It is now essentially a new car as first delivered in 1965. Repainted in the original color, Opalescent Golden Sand, with light tan interior and light tan top. Engine is a 4.2 Liter (4235cc) twin overhead cams, 260 HP, backed by the all synchromesh 4 speed, independent rear suspension and 3.54:1 final drive ratio. Dunlop disc brakes with a dual master cylinder and vacuum booster, Koni shocks, rack and pinion steering, all sitting on 72 spoke 5” by 15” wire wheels. A hardtop is still with the car. The original VIN number, and data plate are in tact. The car was built in late November, 1964. A Heritage Certificate (the build sheet confirming the cars history) was obtained from the Jaguar Heritage Trust. This museum quality, investment grade Jaguar is as close to perfection as we have seen and you will desire this one for any discriminating collection. Vehicle is located in Los Osos, Ca. Offered at $275,000 OBO. For more information please visit our website at www.classiccarmarketing.net or call us at 619-972-7073.
