This 1962 Jaguar XKE Series I is a US-spec roadster that was exported to Europe, where it was refurbished in 2015. Modifications added at that time included a five-speed manual transmission, electronic power steering, an electronic ignition system, and LED lighting. Refinished in black over gray leather, the car is powered by a 3.8-liter inline-six and is equipped with a limited-slip differential, a blue mohair soft top, a soft top boot, enclosed headlights, 15″ wire-spoke wheels, power-assisted disc brakes, dual side mirrors, triple windshield wipers, a Dietz stereo with Bluetooth, and air conditioning. This XKE Series I roadster was acquired by the current owner in 2022 and is now offered on their behalf by the seller with Jaguar-branded luggage and UK registration.

The Series I E-Types were equipped with covered headlights and taillights mounted above the chrome rear bumpers. This example was repainted black during the aforementioned refurbishment and is equipped with a blue mohair soft top, a soft top boot, enclosed headlights, LED lighting, a louvered clamshell hood, wraparound chrome bumpers, bright trim, dual side mirrors, triple windshield wipers, and dual exhaust outlets.

The 15″ wire wheels are secured by two-eared knock-offs and are mounted with Vredestein tyres measuring 205/65. Braking is provided by four-wheel discs with inboard-mounted rear rotors. Uprated sway bars have reportedly been added along with electric power steering.

The cabin features bucket seats upholstered in gray leather along with color-coordinated door panels and carpets. Interior appointments include textured aluminum dash trim, a sliding rearview mirror, a Dietz retro-style radio with Bluetooth, and air conditioning.

The wood-rimmed steering wheel frames a Smiths 160-mph speedometer and 6k-rpm tachometer, while auxiliary gauges for coolant temperature, oil pressure, fuel level, and amperage are located in the center of the dashboard. The five-digit odometer shows 56k miles, approximately 3k of which were added under current ownership.

The 3.8-liter inline-six features triple SU carburetors and was factory rated at 265 horsepower and 260 lb-ft of torque. The seller tells us that D-type camshafts and electronic ignition have been added, and cooling is via an aluminum radiator with upgraded fans. A five-speed manual gearbox was installed during the refurbishment, and the car is equipped with a limited-slip differential.

The vehicle is being sold on its UK V5C registration, which serves as an ownership document in the United Kingdom.
