1974 Jaguar XKE Series III V-12 Roadster
Only 25,000 Actual Miles.......Same Owner Since 1981
Just Fully Serviced and Inspected
Gorgeous low mileage 1974 Jaguar XKE V-12 Roadster in stunning Sable Brown.
This particular example is an original unmolested car that we purchased directly from the owner of the last 26 years!!! It lived in his garage virtually undisturbed. It is equipped with ICE COLD factory air conditioning, Power Steering and an Automatic Gearbox. The Chrome Wire Wheels with new Dunlop's are just Gorgeous, as is the rest of the car. The odometer on this vehicle now reads 25,648 miles.....amazing!!! It is COMPLETELY original (It may have had some minor paintwork over the years). It is one of the Nicest examples that I have EVER seen. It runs and drives extremely well and is very tight and solid. We're sure the winning bidder will be just delighted!!!
In the last few hundred miles, the car was taken out of storage, and completely re-commissioned to ensure reliability, and motoring pleasure.

New diaphragms in all 4 carburetors
Replace 12 sparking plugs
Replace Air Filters and Powdercoat Housings
Replace Fuel Filter
Change Oil and Filter
Convert Ignition to Electronic
Replace Temperature and Oil Sending Units
Replace Wiper Blades
Replace all Exhaust Masnifold Gaskets
Replace Both Thermoststs
Remove and Re-Condition Radiator
Retro-fit and Charge A/C with R-134
Repair/Replace various lights and vacuum hoses.
Install Brand New Soft Top
Install New Sunvisors
Re-stuff Both Headrests

The exterior colour is called "Sable", and is magnificent!! I see no signs of previous damage, and of course no rust is present(Yes, there is normal surface corrosion on suspension components etc., but no rust through/rot). There is of course some minor nicks and chips, and some light "Checking", as would be expected on a 32 Year old car(they are only original once). The black soft top has just been installed, and looks fabulous! The original top boot is present, however has shrunken over the years. This 1974 Jaguar V-12 Roadster makes a grand appearance and causes a commotion wherever it goes. The XKE is one of the most notable sports cars ever conceived, and is ever increasing in value. I would consider it an exotic at a VERY affordable price, that will be a great investment.

The interior is beautiful Biscuit leather. It is also completely original, including the Wilton Wool carpets, and makes a Lovely appearance. Both front seats have been re-dyed to freshen their appearance. The drivers footwell carpet is a bit tatty on the outside edge. The Jaguar rubber floor mats with the "Growler" logo are also included. The headrests are in great condition as well, and have been "restuffed". The dash and gauges are in very nice condition, they all appear to be in proper working order with the exception of the tach (Probably when the ignition was converted). The heataer core has been bypassed. The Air Conditioning blows Ice Cold!! The original AM FM powers up, and makes static, but no music. I thought that the new owner would want a choice to keep this original, or upgrade.

This beautiful XKE V-12 Roadster has just been safety checked and thoroughly inspected. It starts with ease and runs super. As noted above Thousands have just been spent on service and upgrades. It is a Fabulous Example and will certainly be cherished by the lucky New owner. This wonderful Jaguar XKE is just Gorgeous, and is ready to be driven and enjoyed for many years to come.

Here is a gorgeous example of an E-Type V-12 Roadster,(Brown with Tan interior). This vehicle run,drives,brakes and shifts smoothly. It has recently been tuned & serviced, is turn-key and ready to roll. The paint is in excellent condition. The top is brand new (It's never been "put down" either). The interior is in perfect shape.The dash is original and shows a few wrinkles.The tires have excellent tread on them and the brakes operate flawlessly. All lights,horn,electrics perform correct and as they should.The exhaust is excellent and provides the correct "V-12 Note" The A/C works great also. The engine is clean and detailed. The chrome is excellent as well as the wire wheels. This vehicle underwent a nut & bolt restoration in 1995-96. At that time the engine had 58,000 miles on it, the engine underwent a complete and professional overhaul. I have every single receipt for the restoration and maintenance records for the car (they are extensive and detailed). The engine and transmission are the numbers matching originals for the car. You or your mechanic are more than welcome to fly in for close inspection.
