This car was mentioned by Kent Marvin in the 5/89 issue of Ejag magazine as having been owned by his parents. They owned it for 7 years and put 70k miles on it.

This was my mother's 25th wedding aniversary present from my father. I used it when I was in high school - great for getting dates. I later restored a different XKE. They are unique cars, nothing beats the throaty yet sophisticated sound of the engine out of the reasonators when cruising 40 mph on a sunny day with the top down! THe irony of all this is that I later became the director of mfg for Lucas Aerospace in the mid '90's! Yes, the prince of darkness was a well used term there (good products though) and a list of corporate jokes made the rounds. Lucas electrics were the bain of the XKE, for a lot of reasons. The mechanicals of the XKE were superb. If you know where this car is today, I would love to chat with you. Hopefully, it was lovingly restored and someone is enjoying it as much as we did.
