This 1973 Jaguar XKE is a Series III 2+2 coupe that was reportedly acquired by the seller from the son of its longterm second owner approximately 20 years ago. Power is provided by a 5.3-liter V12 paired with a four-speed manual transmission, and the car is finished in Sable over a Biscuit leather interior. Equipment includes knock-off wire wheels with earless spinners, an aftermarket stereo, and chrome bumpers with overriders. A new clutch kit and transmission seals were installed in 2013, and a rebuilt steering rack was fitted in 2015. This Series III XKE 2+2 is now being offered with some service records, manuals, and a clean Illinois title in the seller’s name. 

The exterior is finished in Sable, noted issues include chips around the rocker panels, curb damage on the lower front passenger side, and rust around a drain plug on the driver-side rocker. 

Polished 15” wire wheels with earless knock-off spinners are wrapped in Dunlop SP40 tires measuring 205/65. A matching spare is included in the trunk, along with a knock-off hammer. New front and rear brake lines were installed in 2013, and the steering rack was replaced with a refurbished unit in 2015 by Imports Unlimited of Highland Park, Illinois. 

The interior features Biscuit leather seats with a matching headliner, door panels, and carpets. An older aftermarket stereo was installed under previous ownership, and the car is equipped with air conditioning, although the seller states that it does not blow cold. The headrest foam was replaced by the seller, who reports that the passenger side seatbelt does not retract fully.

A leather-wrapped steering wheel sits in front of a 160-mph speedometer, a 7k-rpm tachometer, and gauges for water temperature, oil pressure, voltage, and fuel level. The five-digit odometer shows just over 48k miles, approximately 16k of which have been added by the seller. 

Power is provided by a 5.3-liter V12 paired with a four-speed manual transmission. A new clutch kit was installed in 2013, along with a new clutch slave cylinder and transmission seals. The factory underhood rain guards have been removed for cooling purposes but are included with the sale.
