Sellers description:
1969 XKE Coupe for auction. The VIN is 1R26255, purchased in Scotland, shipped to California, I am the 5th owner. Jaguar Daimler Heritage Trust certified #1724. Also registered with XKE Data. Signal Red exterior with black interior, sporting German made 6.5x15 MWS XW wire wheels, much wider, that make this car look outstanding.

A fine performer in stock form, the car was modified to fast road status with quality components, care in assembly, and professional advice from Donovan Motorcars, Terry s Jaguar Parts, SNG Barratt, and others to make it a better performer. Also modified are some body components giving the car Series 1 appeal. The bonnet is a Series 1 1/2.

The tub is rust free with one known respray. Being a driver, there are the expected dings and dents that come from daily use and occasional slalom and rally events. The interior is in good, original condition. Some instruments have been changed to suit other modifications and work very well. The glass is also in good condition. Switches are all operational, and the weather seals keep the car dry.

Modifications include:
ENGINE COMPARTMENT
--Installation of rebuilt motor 8L21534-L, with the large valve head, refurbished to top mechanical
and concours standards by Apex Automotive in Illinois.
--Triple Weber 45 DCOE carburetors by Pierce Manifolds.

BRAKES
--Uprated front brakes to Series 3 E-Type vented rotors.
