Classic Showcase is pleased to offer this 1968 Jaguar E-Type Series 1.5 Roadster as a unique project opportunity that is available exclusively as a Classic Showcase restoration, either as our show/driver-level, or as a personalized, modified XKE. Originally delivered to California when new, the Jaguar spent time in the San Francisco and Palo Alto areas and remains a solid and well-preserved candidate for restoration.

The Roadster’s body and monocoque are in good structural condition, making it an excellent platform for a high-quality build. At this stage, the E-Type is still fully customizable, allowing its future owner to designate their preferred exterior color, interior color & materials, and any other performance or cosmetic upgrades to meet your vision.
