1968 JAGUAR E-TYPE XKE 4.2 LITER FIXED HEAD COUPE. SERIES 1 1/2. ORIGINAL COLORS: BRITISH RACING GREEN WITH BLACK TRIM. CHROME WIRE WHEELS. 4-SPEED. TRIPLE CARBURETORS. MATCHING NUMBERS.

Offered for sale, here on Ebay, from KURT TANNER RESTORATIONS, is a 1968 Jaguar E-type 4.2 liter Fixed Head Coupe for restoration. This car was originally sold in the Los Angeles, CA area in the attractive and handsome color scheme of British Racing Green with Black leather trim. It is a full matching numbers car with the addition of the hugely desirable triple-carb setup from the Series One model. At some time in the car's life it was painted it's current black exterior color. The car is an excellent candidate for a restoration, very original, having never been taken apart.
The body on this car is very straight and solid for restoration, with no evidence of any accidents. There is some repairable rust-through on the bottom of the driver's side door. Both dipped sections of the front floors could use replacement, but the rest of the car is exceptionally solid and clean, being a West Coast car. The bonnet and door fit is very nice. The bonnet is in very nice condition, with nice shape and form to it.
The previous owner started some minor disassembly of the car in preparation for some restoration work, but did not get very far. The correct matching numbers engine is currently stuck from sitting. Some components were removed which are shown in the photos. The car seems very complete with the exception of the driver's seat, the RH windshield post molding, and the upper rear windshield chrome insert strip.
The interior trim of the car is highly original and complete, but in need of restoration. It retains all of it's correct original gauges, switches, etc.- all in good condition. The speedometer reads 77,000 miles, which is believed to be correct.
Overall, this is a desirable Series 1 1/2 Coupe for easy, straightforward restoration. It is offered with the bonus of a proper and correct Tri-carb setup which provides Series One performance on this drivetrain. With the appreciation of Series One cars recently, this Coupe offers excellent value and will prove to be a very worthwhile restoration project. It is sold with a clear title and is located in Southern California. It can be viewed by appointment. $27,900.
