Current bid $3,060 reserve not met, 5 bids, 6 days left in auction. 59k miles.

Sellers description:
1969 XKE, Series II Fixed Head Coupe. I gotta make room in the garage for my wife's new car. There are fewer than 100 miles on the 2 year old engine and transmission rebuild. This Jag is a real looker, runs strong, very fast, very powerful, and is a joy to drive. When I bought it, the engine had a miss in it and the synchronizers were going bad in 2nd and 3rd gears. The engine was subsequently rebuilt and a new clutch installed by professionals in Nashville, TN. The transmission was completely rebuilt by professionals in Ohio. With finely tuned carbs, this Jag runs like a new one.

The alternator has been replaced due to deteriorating bearings. A new fuel pump was installed, although the old one was ok. The car is glossy, period correct silver over a smooth body with uniform panel gaps. All the original chrome, including wire wheels, is in good condition. All exterior and interior rubber components, bumper to body seals, window gaskets, and door/rear hatch seals, etc. are good. The interior is original matching burgundy leather, carpeting, burgundy door panels, and rear cargo area with no defects and showing little wear. The body is very straight with no apparent hits. The only part not original is a Sony stereo with cassette in good working order with two Sony rear speakers behind the seats. The chrome wire wheels are excellent with new 205/70R15 Firestones. All glass, rear hatch door, chrome trim, and lights are in good working order. Guages and switches are all functional. The ride is tight, brakes and tracks straight, steers and handles very well with no significant oil or fluid leaks. Alan Jackson, the country music star, formerly owned this car around 2001.

The known defects are as follows: (1) An inexpensive piece of chrome doorsill trim is missing on the passenger side. (2) Tach not working-I'm told this may be due to a loose connection or bad sensor, but not checked out. (3) Left headlamp dims at times due to loose connection under the front bumper. (4) Factory AC not working, but compressor is said to be ok. I'm told this may be a loose connection or fuse related, but not checked out. (5) Wiper blades need rubber replaced. (6) Rear speaker wiring is pinched causing intermittent sound. (7) Clock needs new battery. (8) Floor pans solid, but one inch rust bubble over right rear wheel well.

Car offered and sold on eBay with a buy it now of £47,000
www.ebay.co.uk/itm/332109730379

I am selling my small Jaguar collection including my favorite drivers car- this Etype- plus an XK120 SE and a D Type replica. All cars currently in UK but happy to arrange shipping anywhere. This E Type has been absolutely fantastic! It's been my car of choice on the rare occasions I am in the UK and its sunny. Starts and drives very well every time. Exterior, interior and engine all very good. Not matching numbers. From the other side of the road the car looks perfect, but close up you can see signs of age in the paintwork. The interior is perfect patina, clean and tidy, no scuffs or damage, but still with the perfect 1960's leather smell! originally the car was country and western music legend Alan Jackson in the USA. This is not a concours car, it's a drivers car and with the original colors of silver on red, it's the best classic car colour combination and always attracts praise wherever it goes. Please arrange a viewing asap as I am rarely in the UK and I am keen to sell these cars asap to fund new project. Hence the very reasonable buy-it-now price. This car would be selling for £70,000 or more in a car show room.

You'll note she had triple Webber's on her for a while as she was race tuned by previous owner, none other than ex UK Porsche Champion and the former Marketing Manager of Pirelli, Peter Tyson, who brought us such great calendars! Bytheway a Pirelli calendar will be included in the sale.

The Webber's were removed in favor of triple SU's. You'll see the last image in the Dropbox folder is one of the engine bay I took yesterday, showing the triple SUs- original Jag carbs.
