Seller's description:

This two-owner 1970 4.2L fixed head coupe shows all the beauty and refinement of the Series 2 cars, but with an upgraded Series 1 style tri-carb intake. Its original owner, who became president of the Milwaukee Jaguar Club, had the car refurbished during his ownership. The second owners purchased the car in 1994 and have worked on and cared for it ever since. The body is free of any rust problems and is very straight. The light blue paint is in wonderful condition and is such a nice color on this car. All the chrome and brightwork is also in good condition, and the classic Jaguar wire wheels have been fitted with two-ear spinners.

The original 4.2L block was removed and rebuilt. A big change was the intake conversion from two Zenith-Stromberg carburetors to the higher performance triple-SU setup. It has been properly tuned and really hums! The 4-speed transmission shifts properly and does not grind or pop out of gear. The rear end is also in good shape without any funny noises. Combining all this with 4-wheel disc brakes, fully independent suspension, and crisp manual steering gives a delightful driving experience unlike so many other cars from this era.

The black leather interior has a stock appearance with the exception of the radio. It is all in great condition including the seats, door panels, headliner, and carpet. The dash and instruments look amazing as does the gorgeous wooden steering wheel. The rear compartment is also in good condition and houses a correct spare wheel along with a jack and knockoff hammer. All gauges function properly as do the blower motor, wipers, horn, radio, and parking brake. The factory air conditioning is fully intact but void of refrigerant (R12).

This example, with its limited ownership, refurbishment work, and performance upgrades, really looks sharp and is a pleasure to drive. And we are not talking about somebody’s project car, weekend beater, or barn find here. Rather, this quality XKE has been owned by Jaguar fanatics throughout its life and always received proper care. It also includes a service manual, operating handbook, and 1970 Jaguar literature. More than 60 years after its introduction the E-Type remains a big hit wherever it goes. There is simply nothing else like it, before or since.

This 1970 Jaguar XKE Series II coupe underwent a refurbishment in the 1980s that included a rebuild of the 4.2-liter inline-six, installation of triple SU carburetors, and a repaint of its Light Blue finish. The car is equipped with 15″ wire wheels, four-wheel disc brakes, a four-speed manual transmission, and a limited-slip differential, while the black leather cockpit features a wood-rimmed steering wheel and air conditioning. It was acquired by the current owner in 2022, and work since has included the installation of a stainless-steel exhaust system, wiring repairs, servicing the air conditioning system, and replacing the front brakes and clutch slave and master cylinders. This XKE coupe is offered by the seller, a BaT Local Partner, on behalf of its fifth and current owner with a Jaguar Heritage Trust Certificate, the owner’s manual and folio, a file of documentation dating from new, removed factory parts, and a Wisconsin title in the current owner’s name.

Styling changes introduced with the Series II included a larger grille opening, a one-piece wraparound rear bumper, and front turn signals and taillights positioned below the bumpers. This example left the factory in Light Blue and was repainted in the 1980s. Exterior equipment includes sealed-beam open headlights, a driver-side mirror, and a louvered clamshell hood.

Chrome-finished 15″ wire wheels are secured by three-eared knock-offs and are mounted with Uniroyal Tiger Paw Touring A/S tires. Braking is provided by four-wheel discs with inboard-mounted rear rotors. The wheel seals and front brake pads, rotors, and calipers were replaced in May 2024, at which point the wheel bearings were repacked, while the brake master cylinder and servo were replaced in June 2026.

The cockpit is trimmed in black leather and features bucket seats, air conditioning, and an AM/FM cassette stereo. The air conditioning system was test and recharged with R12 refrigerant in August 2026, at which time the compressor was rebuilt. The stereo was also repaired in preparation for the sale. The horn and clock are inoperable.

The wood-rimmed steering wheel frames Smiths instrumentation comprising a 160-mph speedometer and a tachometer with a 5k-rpm redline as well as an analog clock and gauges for voltage, oil pressure, coolant temperature, and fuel level. The five-digit odometer shows 63k miles, approximately 2k of which were added under current ownership.

The 4.2-liter inline-six underwent a rebuild in the 1980s that included the installation of triple SU carburetors. In August 2021, the radiator, ignition points, condenser, spark plugs and wires, and distributor cap and rotor were replaced, and the carburetors were rebuilt. Wiring repairs were performed in May 2024, and the V-belts were replaced in February 2025, at which point a stainless-steel exhaust system was installed. The exhaust manifold was fitted with replacement gaskets in June 2026, and the battery was replaced in August the same year.

Power is routed to the rear wheels through a four-speed manual transmission and a limited-slip differential. The clutch master and slave cylinders were replaced in May 2024.

The Jaguar Heritage Trust Production Record Trace Certificate shows drivetrain numbers, colors, and a dispatch date of February 11, 1970. The sale includes a file of historical and service records dating from new, the factory owner’s manual and folio, and the factory knock-off tool, hammer, and tire jack. The removed factory intake manifold, dual Stromberg carburetors, and finned aluminum cam covers also will accompany the car.

The Wisconsin title notes “Exempt” under the Odometer Status heading.
