99k Miles Shown, TMU

Replacement 4.2L Inline-Six

4-Speed Manual Transmission

15" Dayton Knock-Off Wire Wheels

Reconditioned Radiator and Fan

Service Records since 2015

This 1969 Jaguar XKE 2+2 is finished in metallic blue over blue leather, and it was purchased by the seller in early 2015 from the previous owner in Arizona, who reportedly acquired it in Washington state in 1998. Paired with a four-speed manual transmission, the rebuilt 4.2-liter inline-six is said to have been sourced from another Series II XKE during a refurbishment to this car in the 1990s. The seller has reconditioned the radiator and fan, rebuilt the front brake calipers, installed Dayton wire wheels, and had the carburetors rebuilt and calibrated. Service performed in May and June of 2020 included adjusting the choke, replacing a side-marker lens, and recharging the R12 air conditioning. This four-seat XKE is now offered with service records from current ownership and a clean Arizona title in the seller’s name.

The previous owner had the car repainted in the 1990s in a custom metallic blue that is a different shade from the car’s original light blue, according to the seller. Chips and dings are shown up close in the gallery below along with peeling and flaking paint at the hood grilles. Series II updates to the XKE included a revised headlight design as well as horizontal taillights that sit below a wrap-around rear bumper.

Chrome-finished Dayton 15″ wire wheels with Jaguar hubs are wrapped in 205/75 Uniroyal Tiger Paw AWP II whitewall tires. The front brake calipers have been rebuilt, the rear brakes have been replaced, and the suspension has been refurbished during current ownership, per the seller.

The interior is upholstered in blue leather, and the seller notes that the driver’s side bolster displays wear and the seat was rebuilt while retaining the original upholstery. The radio and clock are inoperable, and the seller states that the factory air conditioning underwent a vacuum test and was charged with R12 refrigerant in May 2020 but still struggles to counteract Arizona temperatures. The air vents on the lower dashboard are in need of replacement.

A wood-rimmed three-spoke steering wheel frames factory instrumentation including a 160-mph speedometer and a 6k-rpm tachometer. Auxiliary gauges are located at the center of the dash. The five-digit odometer shows 99k miles, approximately 1,200 of which have been added by the seller in five years. The seller notes that the speedometer needle can vacillate under heavy acceleration and that the gas gauge underreports the amount of fuel in the tank. The horn switch has been rebuilt.

The 4.2-liter inline-six is said to have been sourced from another Series II XKE and rebuilt prior to installation in this car in the 1990s. The seller had coolant leaks repaired, added new fluids, set the timing, and also replaced the fuel pump, spark plugs, and wires in order to make the car roadworthy upon purchasing it. The dual Stromberg carburetors were later rebuilt and recalibrated by Joe Curto Inc, and additional electrical work was reportedly done. The fluids were checked in June 2020.

Power is sent to the rear wheels via a factory four-speed manual transmission. The seller notes dents on the underside of the car.

This 1969 Jaguar XKE Series II is a blue-over-blue 2+2 that was acquired by the seller on BaT in July 2020. It is powered by a 4.2-liter inline-six paired with a four-speed manual transmission and is equipped with chrome bumpers and overriders, a louvered clamshell hood, chrome 15” Dayton wire wheels, four-wheel disc brakes, Smiths instrumentation, an analog clock, a heater, and an AM/FM radio. Work in 2020 reportedly included recharging the air conditioning system, adjusting the choke, and replacing a side-marker lens. This four-seat XKE is now offered with spare parts, service records, and a clean California title in the seller’s name.

The car is said to have been delivered from the factory in light blue and was repainted under previous ownership. Features include a louvered clamshell hood, a driver-side mirror, a one-piece wraparound rear bumper, and chrome bumper overriders. The exhaust pipes have been realigned and the hatch door and rear bumper seals are said to have been replaced under current ownership. Rust repair has reportedly been performed on the top hatch hinge, and the seller states the left-rear wheel well has been repaired and is missing paint. There are dents and paint chips visible on the hood, rocker panels, door seams, and rear quarter panels.

Chrome 15” Dayton wire wheels are secured with knock-off spinners and wrapped in 205/75 Uniroyal Tiger Paw thin-whitewall tires. Stopping power is provided by four-wheel discs with inboard-mounted rears. The wheels need to be aligned. A matching spare wheel is included with the car.

The bucket seats are upholstered in blue leather and are joined by a color-coordinated center console, door panels, and carpets. Interior details include an analog clock, a heater, shoulder belts, and an AM/FM radio. Rust is visible along the edge of the driver’s door sill, and the driver’s outer seat bolster shows some wear.

A wood-rimmed steering wheel sits ahead of Smiths instrumentation that includes a 160-mph speedometer, a 6k-rpm tachometer, and a suite of dash-mounted auxiliary gauges. The five-digit odometer shows approximately 99k miles, a handful of which were added under current ownership. Total mileage is unknown.

The 4.2-liter inline-six features dual Zenith-Stromberg carburetors and sends power to the rear wheels through a four-speed manual transmission. The air conditioning system was recharged using R12 refrigerant, and the choke was adjusted in 2020. Rust is visible in the battery tray.
