This 1969 Jaguar XKE Series II coupe is a non-running project that was reportedly acquired by the seller’s late father in 1976, and is said to have been stored indoors since 1989. The car is finished in yellow over black leather upholstery and is equipped with a 4.2-liter inline-six mated to a four-speed manual transmission. Additional details include a push-button AM/FM radio, dual SU carburetors, four-wheel disc brakes, and 15” wheels. The car is not currently registered and will require mechanical work before it can be driven. This XKE project is now offered at no reserve by the seller on behalf of their mother with manufacturer’s literature, and a clean California title.

The car wears faded yellow paintwork and features a louvered hood, a left-side mirror, a dual exhaust system, and chrome bumpers and trim. Yellow-on-blue California plates are included in the sale, and various dents, scratches, paint chips, and areas of corrosion.

Chrome 15” wheels with Jaguar-logo hubcaps are mounted with older whitewall tires that require replacement, and corrosion is visible on the wheels. A full-size spare is found in the rear storage area. Braking is through four-wheel discs with inboard-mounted rears.

The cabin houses seats trimmed in black leather that is worn and cracked, and black carpets line the floors. The car is equipped with a push-button AM/FM radio and an analog clock. The dashboard top is peeling, and the functionality of the under-dash air conditioner system is unknown.

The wood-rimmed steering wheel has a partially removed wrap, and Smiths instrumentation includes a 160-mph speedometer, a 6k-rpm tachometer, and a suite of auxiliary displays in the center stack. The five-digit odometer shows 31k miles, and total mileage is unknown.

The non-running 4.2-liter inline-six is equipped with dual SU carburetors and mated to a four-speed manual transmission. The seller notes that the fluids were not drained from the engine when the car was placed in storage in 1989. Areas of corrosion on the radiator, exhaust manifolds, and various engine components are noted.

Car number 1R26405 is shown on the data plate, and the current California title lists the car’s VIN as J691R26405. The title carries a duplicate notation, and the car is currently registered as Planned Non-Operational.
