Sellers description:
1969 JAGUAR XKE Fully Restored with Glass Covered Headlamps: The body was completely stripped down and fully dismantled. We performed a complete rotisserie restoration to the highest standards. All rust was cut-out and replaced with new metal panels from Monocoque-Metalworks. The undercarriage was seam sealed, rust-proofed, and painted as the rest of the car. We performed a proper conversion to fit glass covered headlamps. Great attention was paid to having proper shut lines and even panel gaps. The complete restoration was photo documented. A new and complete black leather interior kit as original has been fitted. The interior was supplied by Original Specification Jaguar Interiors. "Dynamat" was used throughout the interior and trunk, as well as the original jute insulation, to keep the car quiet and comfortable. The convertible top frame has been restored and fitted with a new vinyl top. The top boot cover is also new. A stereo with IPOD & USB hook-ups has been installed. Original numbers matching Engine completely Rebuilt to the highest standards using genuine Jaguar parts. A modern style rear main seal was adapted to eliminate the troublesome oil leaking original rope seal. With the fitment of Triple SU Carburettors and a modern 123 electronic distributor, along with a new original spec stainless steel exhaust this 4.2L Jaguar has the proper "Growl" and performs better than when new. A new Alloy radiator filled with "Evans" waterless non-toxic coolant along with twin original cooling fans keeps this cat running cool and reliable. Original Transmission was completely overhauled as well as new clutch and hydraulics. This gearbox shifts smoothly and effortlessly. No noises or grinding. The overall driving experience is that of a new car. The front suspension components were all rebuilt using uprated parts such as poly-urethane bushings. All of the main suspension components were nickel plated as original for superior corossion protection and superior asthetic appeal. The front & rear brakes were completely overhauled. Once again the main components such as calipers and handbrakes were nickel plated. This Jaguar has been fitted with new brake master cylinder, servo assembly, and stainless brake lines.The rear suspension and differential have been overhauled, painted and detailed. The majority of the chrome plating was re-plated by Van Nuys Plating in California to the original Superior type Hexavalent Triple Chrome Plating. A few pieces were left original to preserve some patina. The wire wheels are brand new Chrome Rim/Stainless Spoke Dayton's. We chose a 15x6 "Center-Lace" wire wheel for better visual appeal and better handling 215/65-15 Pirelli P4 Tires. The story: We originally sold this car to one of our good customers back in the late eighties. We reacquired the Jag back in September 2013. We embarqued on the full restoration in-house.
