WHAT MAKES THIS 1970 JAGUAR SO SPECIAL IS THAT THIS XKE HAS ONLY 2,278 “ORIGINAL” MILES!

THIS SPECTACULAR 1970 JAGUAR XKE ROADSTER WAS BUILT IN DECEMBER 1969. THIS IS A ONE-OWNER “ORIGINAL” 2,278 MILE XKE, COMPLETE WITH THE ORIGINAL BILL-OF-SALE. THAT’S NOT A MISPRINT, 2,278 “ORIGINAL” MILES!

THIS XKE WAS SOLD NEW ON AUGUST 8, 1970 BY THE EMMICK MOTOR CO. TO LAWRENCE W. BROWN OF TROY, PENNSYLVANIA. MR. BROWN WAS A SPORTS CAR ENTHUSIAST WHO TOOK VERY SPECIAL CARE OF HIS CARS AND DROVE THIS XKE SPARINGLY AND ONLY FOR SPECIAL OCCASIONS IN GOOD WEATHER. THIS VEHICLE WAS STORED IN A CLIMATE CONTROLLED GARAGE WHEN NOT BEING DRIVEN. MR. BROWN WAS VERY PROUD OF THIS JAGUAR AND LOVED TO SHOW IT OFF TO FRIENDS AND VISITORS.

BY ALL RIGHTS, THIS JAGUAR SHOULD BE IN A MUSEUM, BUT IS NOW RELUCTENTLY BEING MADE AVAILABLE FOR THE 1ST TIME TO SOME VERY LUCKY EBAY BIDDER. THIS VEHICLE WOULD BE AN EXCEPTIONAL ADDITION TO ANY COLLECTION.

THIS AMAZING 2,278 ORIGINAL MILE XKE IS IN INCREDIBLE “SURVIVOR” CONDITION, AND HAS BEEN PROPERLY STORED AND LOVINGLY CARED FOR SINCE NEW. NOT ONLY DOES IT LOOK NEW, IT DRIVES LIKE NEW!

THIS BEAUTIFUL XKE STILL HAS ITS FACTORY ORIGINAL WILLOW GREEN PAINT. EVERYTHING IS IN EXCELLENT FACTORY ORIGINAL CONDITION! IT EVEN HAS ITS ORIGINAL DUNLOP SP SPORT TIRES. THE ORIGINAL PAINT, CHROME, RUBBER AND CONVERTIBLE TOP ARE ALL IN EXCELLENT ORIGINAL CONDITION! THE EXTERIOR IS INCREDIBLE, BUT THAT’S JUST THE BEGINNING!

THE STUNNING TAN LEATHER INTERIOR IS ABSOLUTELY BREATHTAKING. EVERYTHING IN HERE LOOKS LIKE NEW. THE UPHOLSTERY, DOOR PANELS, CARPET, PAINTED SURFACES, CHROME & STAINLESS, EVERY GAUGE, EVERYTHING LOOKS LIKE NEW!

THIS AMAZING 1970 JAGUAR IS POWERED BY ITS ORIGINAL I-6 4.2L ENGINE AND 4-SPEED MANUAL TRANSMISSION. EVERYTHING PERFORMS AS NEW.

DON’T MISS THIS OPPORTUNITY TO ACQUIRE THIS EXTREMELY LOW MILEAGE AND HIGHLY COLLECTIBLE 1970 JAGUAR XKE.
