This 1972 Jaguar XKE Roadster V12 was acquired by the late-owner in 1989 and is powered by a 5.3-liter V12 paired with a four-speed manual transmission. The car is finished in silver over a dark blue leather interior, and equipment includes a black hardtop, black vinyl soft top, quad Zenith-Stromberg carburetors, four-wheel disc brakes, wind wings, chrome 15″ wire wheels, and an AM/FM radio. An oil change was carried out in anticipation of the sale. This XKE Roadster is now offered on dealer consignment with spare parts, a Jaguar Heritage Trust certificate, and a clean Kansas title.

The car is finished in silver and fitted with a contrasting black hardtop that is depicted above. Equipment includes chrome bumpers with overriders, a black soft top, aftermarket wind wings, V12 badging, and quad exhaust outlets. Rust bubbles are present on the right rear fender.

Chrome 15″ knock-off wire wheels wear older Michelin Wide X Radial tires. The four-wheel independent suspension incorporates torsion bars up front and coil springs out back, and braking is provided by four-wheel discs with the rear set mounted inboard.

The cabin features bucket seats trimmed in dark blue leather with a matching center armrest, door panels, and carpets. Amenities include air conditioning, a British Leyland AM/FM radio, and an AMCO shift knob and rubber floor mats. Wear is noted on the seats.

A leather-wrapped steering wheel sits ahead of Smiths instrumentation that includes a 160-mph speedometer, a 7k-rpm tachometer, an analog clock, and centrally mounted gauges for voltage, oil pressure, coolant temperature, and fuel level. The five-digit odometer shows 55k miles. Total mileage is unknown.

The 5.3-liter V12 features a single overhead camshaft per cylinder bank and is fitted with four Zenith-Stromberg sidedraft carburetors. An oil change was carried out in anticipation of the sale. Power is sent to the rear wheels via a four-speed manual transmission. The seller notes that the clutch slips, and a replacement clutch is included in the sale.

The Jaguar Heritage Trust certificate lists the factory colors and powertrain numbers and shows delivery to British Leyland in New York, and a March 24, 1972 date of manufacture.
