1969 Jaguar E-Type Coupe XKE E-Type Series 2
The major problem areas on XKE’s has always been rust related, and as any previous owner will tell you its costly and time consuming to repair. I believe this is one of the driest and rust free xke’s you will find that hasn’t already been repaired. She sports all of her original panels and has had no accident damage that we have noted. The paint is shabby and will need to be resprayed to bring her back to her former glory. There are small dings here and there with no major body damage noted. With new paint and seals she would be a very nice driver and with no other major items to attend to! The chrome is all original and is a nice driver quality.
This xke is a numbers matching unit and runs out very nicely. She makes plenty of power with no unwanted or strange noises. The tranny shifts nicely through all the gears with no clunking or grinding. The engine bay is in original shape and would clean up nicely with a little elbow grease and a weekend of time.
The interior is in surprisingly nice shape for being all original and untouched. The seats do show some wear, and the steering wheel could stand to be redone, but what a great starting point and is enjoyable as it is. The gauges all function as do the lights and signals.
Overall what we have here is a fantastic starting point to whatever you would like to make this car. I can’t stress enough how hard it is to find any XKE with original panels and not needing rust repair. With paint she really would be quite nice and presentable, but if you are looking for a car to restore this one would be a great candidate for that route as well.
