Seen on eBay, 5/2003, offered by Kruse International. Ad reads:

"
This Jaguar has had a meticulous frame off restoration and a complete rebuild by a world class Jaguar facility. The body is in 9+ condition and the seller has all records. The car features new performance tires, true rims and matching numbers. The interior has been completely redone. Rebuilt items include (auto) transmission, starter, fuel system, carbs completely rebuilt etc. This California car is in a class by itself. With over $40,000 invested this vehicle is ready to go. Don't delay, this is a beautiful Jaguar that will make heads turn. "

Purchase by me, (3nd owner) and alway primarily service by a Licenced Jaguar mechanic in southern California. Always garage with absolutly no rust and no accident damage whatsoever. obviosly owned by only very careful and mature driver since new-never abused, babied all the way!

The original beige interior seats are also in outstanding condition with virtually no sign of any wear. There are no cracks on the dashboard and the door panels and the carpet are also in outstanding condition. The interior is also completly original with except a great (Alpine) CD stereo system and all the options and gauges are working properly as they should included the ice-cold A/C. The engine is an extremely strong and smooth running, with excellent oil pressure and which does no burn or leak oil. The temperature always remains cool and the car drives exactly like an XKE Jaguar with such low miles should.- no shakes or rattle- very smooth and powerful!. The suspension and everything about this car seems to be driven as it should Whoever will own this car, will know how beautiful of a ride is.

I purchase this car from High end Hollywood Jennifer Lopez .photographer

This XKE was sittinf for few years and was giving an $8,000.00 complete overhall, and I have the service records to show.the work done and also in 2002, a complete paint job done.

Overall an incredible fine example of this classic and increasingly desireable and collectable series.
