Sellers description:
THIS JAGUAR XKE 2+2 WAS PURCHASED IN 2001 FROM THE ORIGINAL OWNER IN CALIFORNIA.I AM ONLY THE SECOND OWNER OF THIS CAR. WE DROVE IT FROM CA TO WA AND IT HAS BEEN GARAGED SINCE THAT TIME. I WAS PLANNING ON RESTORING IT BUT LIFE HAPPENED AND I WASN'T ABLE TO DO SO. I NOW NEED TO SELL IT. THE CAR HAS NO APPARENT RUST THAT I CAN SEE. IT HAS THE ORIGINAL PAINT COLOR WHICH IS A GRAYISH TAN. I DON'T KNOW THE NAME OF THE COLOR. I WAS PLANNING ON HAVING THE CAR REPAINTED IN THE FUTURE BECAUSE THERE ARE A FEW PLACES ON THE LEFT SIDE THAT WERE TOUCHED UP AND DOESN'T QUITE MATCH THE ORIGINAL COLOR. IT HAS A GREAT STRAIGHT BODY. THE CAR RUNS. IT NEEDS A TUNE UP AND THE CARBURETOR ALSO NEEDS A GOOD CLEANING BECAUSE OF SITTING FOR THE LAST 6 YEARS. I DID START THE CAR EVERY COUPLE OF MONTHS THOUGH. THERE IS NO ENGINE OIL LEAK BUT THE TRANSMISSION HAS SOME LEAKING. AS FAR AS I KNOW EVERYTHING ON THE CAR IS ORIGINAL EXCEPT FOR THE RADIO WHICH IS A PIONEER FM CASETTE, BUT DOESN'T WORK. ABOUT 80% OF THE RUBBER WEATHER STRIPPING HAS BEEN REPLACED BY THE ORIGINAL OWNER. THE CAR HAS AIR CONDITIONING BUT DOESN'T WORK. ALL THE GAUGES WORK EXCEPT FOR THE CLOCK. THE CAR COMES WITH THE ORIGINAL OPERATING, MAINTENANCE AND SERVICE HANDBOOK. IT ALSO HAS AN ORIGINAL ILLUSTRATED MAINTENANCE AND CHASSIS CHART, AND AN ORIGINAL BROCHURE WITH PICTURES OF THE 1969 JAGUAR MODELS. THERE'S A PAPER WITH A DIAGRAM OF THE ORIGINAL PHILIPS AM/FM RADIO, AND ANOTHER PAPER SHOWING THE AIR CONDITIONING SYSTEM INSTRUCTIONS. 146k miles, VIN J6941156BW

My father in-law purchased this e-type in 2007 it has sat in garage since 2008. He has passed away while trying to get it back to glory. Now we are starting the task of going through it to get it back on the road as he would want. It's all #'s matching and we hope to keep it that way. I will post again once it's roadworthy.
