Purchased from the original owner last year. Rare and striking color combination, Opalescent Silver Blue / Red Leather. All Factory original including the tires. Incredible original condition everywhere you look. Like traveling back in time for an opportunity to buy an as new XKE from Jaguar.
Full history is documented including original title, sales invoice, '67 E-Type brochure used at purchase, all books / manuals, service records and original unused tools. Heritage Certificate on hand, with the original owner named on the Factory record. Matching numbers throughout.
Interesting history, the owner was always an avid car collector and this car was the only one he bought new to add to his collection in October of 1966. It was always properly stored in a climate controlled building and maintained in running condition since then. Starts at first try and simply runs wonderful.This was never a neglected barn find, it has always been well cared for.Nothing cosmetically has been enhanced, restored or over detailed by the first owner or me. What you see in the photos is how it survived from new. You can still easily read the body number and USA as the destination marked in grease pencil by the Factory technicians on the underside of bonnet; right front wheel well. There are many other small items / details from the Factory that you rarely if ever see on these cars anymore.To see more photos go to oldtownclassics / San Diego CA. Can be inspected by appointment during auction. I can be reached at (619) 540-4637 ** Please do not call to ask reserve as this is an auction. Deposit within 24 hours, balance due within 5 business days. California residents will be required to pay sales tax.
Very rare opportunity that you may never see again.
