Sellers description:
HERE IS A BEAUTIFUL 1974 (FINAL YEAR OF PRODUCTION) JAGUAR XKE CONVERTIBLE. FINISHED WITH A BLACK EXTERIOR AND TAN LEATHER INTERIOR. THE ODOMETER READS 25,487 MILES BUT THIS BEING A 30 YEAR OLD CAR I DO NOT THINK THAT THIS IS CORRECT. OPTIONS ON THIS JAGUAR INCLUDE AUTOMATIC TRANSMISSION, MASSIVE 12 CYLINDER ENGINE, CONVERTIBLE TOP, LEATHER INTERIOR, AIR CONDITIONING, WIRE WHEELS, CD AND MUCH MORE. THIS JAGUAR JUST UNDERWENT A COMPLETE OIL AND FLUID SERVICE WITHIN THE LAST 20 MILES AND THIS CAR REALLY DOES DRIVE EVEN BETTER THAN IT LOOKS. THE 12 CYLINDER ENGINE IS STRONG AND POWERFUL AND THE AUTOMATIC TRANSMISSION SHIFTS EFFORTLESSLY THROUGH ALL OF THE GEARS. THE STEERING IS TIGHT AND PRECISE AND THE BRAKES FEEL JUST GREAT. ALL OF THE ELECTRICALS WORK WITH NO PROBLEMS TO SPEAK OF AT ALL. THE 4 OUTLET EXHAUST REALLY BELTS OUT THAT CLASSIC JAGUAR GROWL. MECHANICALLY, THIS E-TYPE HAS BEEN PROPERLY MAINTAINED AND IS JUST A JOY TO DRIVE. THE INTERIOR IS VERY NICE. THE TAN LEATHER SEATS HAVE BEEN REDONE IN THE PAST AND THEY ARE IN VERY GOOD CONDITION WITH NO RIPS OR TEARS TO EITHER SEAT. THE SEATS ARE IN VERY GOOD CONDITION WITH THE EXCEPTION OF SOME TYPICAL WEAR TO THE LEATHER. THE DASHBOARD IS IN REMARKABLE CONDITION AND THE CARPETS ARE IN FANTASTIC CONDITION AS WELL. THE EXTERIOR IS WHAT REALLY SETS THIS PARTICULAR JAGUAR APART FROM THE REST. I JUST (PICKED UP LAST WEEK) HAD THE CAR PAINTED TO A VERY GOOD DRIVER (NOT SHOW QUALITY)STANDARD. THIS CAR WAS ORIGINALLY GREEN BUT HAD BEEN PAINTED SEVERAL YEARS AGO TO BLACK. THE PAINT LOOKS GREAT AND IS VERY BRIGHT AND SHINEY. IF YOU WERE TO LOOK CLOSELY UNDER THE BONNETT AND INSIDE SOME OF THE JAMS YOU CAN SEE EVIDENCE OF IT'S PREVIOUS COLOR AND PAINTWORK (SEE PICTURES) BUT IT IS ONLY VISIBLE IF YOU ARE LOOKING FOR IT. THE CHROME AND BRIGHTWORK ARE IN EXCELLENT CONDITION AND THE BLACK CONVERTIBLE TOP IS VIRTUALLY PERFECT WITH NO WEAR MARKS, RIPS OR TEARS ANYWHERE AT ALL. EVEN THE ORIGINAL WIRE WHEELS ARE IN FANTASTIC CONDITION AND ARE MOUNTED ON EXCELLENT BF GOODRICH TIRES. THIS REALLY IS A BEAUTIFUL CAR. THE E-TPYE JAGUAR CONVERTIBLE WAS AND STILL IS THE BENCHMARK FOR CLASSIC SPORTSCARS. I HAVE OWNED A LOT OF CLASSIC JAGUAR'S, BUT THIS CAR HAPPENS TO DRIVE AS NICE AS ANY AND IT REALLY DOES LOOK GREAT. THIS PARTICULAR CAR WOULD MAKE A FANTASTIC DRIVER AND COULD BE USED ON A DAILY BASIS. IT COULD ALSO BE SHOWN ALTHOUGH I DOUBT IT WOULD WIN BEST OF SHOW AT A JAGUAR CONCOURS EVENT. THESE CARS ARE ALSO EXCELLENT INVESTMENT OPPORTUNITIES WITH PRICES RISING IN THE LAST FEW YEARS AND EXPERTS EXPECT THE VALUES TO CONTINUE TO RISE.
