Sellers description:
This XKE had a complete Body Off restoration aproximately ten years ago. This is an all numbers matching car with the original high performance, high compression six cylinder engine and four speed transmission. The car burns premium fuel. The car was completely rebuilt and restored by a professional Jaguar restoration company. It was completely disassembled for the restoration. The frame was sand blasted and painted. The body was sand blasted and rust removed. The car has no bondo. It is all steel. The engine and transmission were rebuilt. The car runs as good as the day it came out of the factory. The convertible top is new. There is also a removable hardtop. This car is nicely detailed. Mechanically it is definately a number one car. Cosmetically I would consider it a number two because there are a few minor nicks in the paint. The overall paint is excellent. It shines and shows nicely. The redline tires are new and the original Jaguar spoke wheels are perfect. This is a real head turner and one of the nicest XKEs around. I have many more photos. I also have documented photos showing the complete restoration including all diassembly and engine rebuild. A pleasure to drive and show.
