This 1970 Jaguar XKE is a Series II 2+2 coupe that underwent a refurbishment in 2012 that included rebuilding the 4.2-liter inline-six and installing a five-speed T5 manual transmission, a 3.77:1 limited-slip differential, and upgraded suspension components. Equipment includes triple SU carburetors, electronic ignition, tubular headers, a Ron Davis aluminum radiator, a manual steering rack conversion, Dunlop-style 15″ alloy wheels, Koni dampers, a Series I clamshell hood, tan upholstery, a Moto-Lita steering wheel, and an Alpine CD stereo. The car was refinished in blue in the mid-2000s and the current owner acquired it in January 2017. This XKE 2+2 is offered on behalf of the current owner with removed and spare parts, a set of 15″ wire wheels, a tool kit and jack, manufacturer’s literature, refurbishment records and photos, and a clean California title in the current owner’s name.

The car is said to have been previously finished in red and was reportedly repainted in metallic blue in the mid-2000s. Further work in 2012 included installing a Series I clamshell hood without front bumpers and painting silver stripes. Additional exterior elements include recessed headlights with glass covers, leather hold-down straps, vinyl Jaguar-branded side graphics, venting rear quarter windows, a side-hinged rear hatch, a chrome rear bumper with overriders, and polished dual exhaust outlets. The reverse light is non-functional and blemishes include inconsistent panel gap around the hood, paint chipping, a crack near the back of the passenger-side door, sanding scratches on the roof, and indentations in the doors and around the rear bumper.

Dunlop-style 15″ alloy wheels are secured by chrome three-eared knock-offs and are mounted with 225/60 reproduction Goodyear Eagle VR60 tires showing 2020 date codes. Braking is handled by four-wheel ventilated discs with inboard-mounted rear rotors. A manual steering rack conversion has been carried out and the suspension has been modified with the following components:

Upgraded front torsion bars and rear springs

Koni dampers

Aftermarket front sway bar

Polyurethane suspension and rear trailing arm bushings

The seller states a vibration is present at higher speeds.

The cabin is equipped with front bucket seats and a rear bench trimmed in tan upholstery as well as a color-coordinated center console, headliner, door panels, side sills, and carpets. Additional appointments include hand-crank side windows, a locking glove compartment, tan woven floor mats, a heater and defroster, a fire extinguisher, a Ravelco anti-theft device, and an Alpine CD stereo. The ignition and headlight switch were both repaired during a 2021 service, and interior flaws include cracking in the dash pad, a passenger seat rattle, a crack in the driver’s seat bottom upholstery, blemishes on the rear side panels, and discoloration in the driver’s seat back upholstery and in the carpet, near the pedals.

A leather-wrapped Moto-Lita steering wheel fronts Smiths instrumentation that includes a 160-mph speedometer, a tachometer, centrally positioned auxiliary gauges, and an analog clock. The five-digit odometer shows 21k miles, approximately 4k of which have been added by the current owner. True mileage is unknown.

The 4.2-liter inline-six was rebuilt and bored 0.030″ over by Donovan Motorcar Service of Lenox, Massachusetts, in 2012 and is equipped with triple SU carburetors. Additional work included the installation of the following components:

9.5:1 compression pistons

High-torque camshafts

Tubular headers

Electronic ignition

Oil cooler

Ron Davis aluminum radiator with electric fans

Aluminum flywheel

Replacement wiring harness

Power is sent to the rear wheels through a five-speed T5 manual transmission and a 3.77:1 limited-slip differential. Indentations and flaking paint are present on the underside of the car, and a worn exhaust flex joint is noted.

Prior to the 2012 refurbishment, the car is said to have competed in the Jaguar Invitational class at the 2011 Monterey Motorsports Reunion.

Documentation accompanying the car includes manufacturer’s literature, as well as service records and photos documenting refurbishment work.
