This 1964 Jaguar XKE is a Series I coupe that was acquired by the seller around 28 years ago and is powered by a numbers-matching 3.8-liter inline-six paired with a four-speed manual transmission. The exterior was repainted red under current ownership, and features include black leather upholstery, electronic ignition, a Sony CD stereo, a Moto-Lita steering wheel, knock-off wire wheels, fender-mounted bullet-style side mirrors, four-wheel disc brakes, and chrome bumperettes and trim. Suspension refreshment was carried out in 2010, while the three SU carburetors were more recently rebuilt. This Series I XKE is being offered with parts receipts and a clean California title in the name of the seller’s wife.

Said to have originally been finished in Primrose Yellow, the exterior was repainted brown by a previous owner and refinished in its current Carmen Red around 11 years ago. The windshield was replaced at that time, and features include a fender-mounted antenna, glass headlight covers, fender-mounted Talbot Yorke green dot mirrors, blue California license plates, and chrome bumpers and trim. The seller states that previous body filler was discovered in several areas around the body during the 2010 repaint. Corrosion is noted on the rear of the hood, and other flaws include paint imperfections on the roof, a dent and paint bubble on the passenger-side rear quarter panel, and various paint chips and scratches that can be seen up close in the gallery below.

The 15” polished wire wheels feature two-eared knock-off spinners and are wrapped in Pirelli Cinturato tires. Braking is handled by four-wheel discs with inboard-mounted rears. The suspension is said to have been refreshed with replacement bushings, ball joints, tie rod ends, torsion bars, shocks, and springs in 2010. Additional work at this time included the installation of a replacement brake master cylinder, calipers, and rotors. A creak from the front suspension is noted by the seller along with a squeal from the driver-side front brake.

The cabin was reupholstered in 2010 in black leather with a matching dashboard, door panels, and carpets. A Sony CD stereo has been added in the dash, which features toggle switches for vehicle functions. The analog clock is inoperable and wear on the driver’s seat bolster can be seen.

A wood-rimmed Moto-Lita steering wheel sits ahead of a 160-mph speedometer. The speedometer is said to be inaccurate and the tachometer is inoperable. The five-digit odometer shows just over 54k miles, though total mileage is unknown.

The 3.8-liter inline-six features triple SU carburetors and sends power to the rear wheels through a four-speed manual transmission. Alterations consist of electronic ignition, an external fuel pump, a radiator fan, and a gear reduction starter. Work performed in 2010 is said to have included the installation of a replacement generator, exhaust system, various electrical wiring, and an etched and resealed fuel tank. The seller notes that the carburetors have been recently rebuilt and the oil was changed in 2020. A leak from the rear main seal is reported.

Engine block stamping number RA 5994 seen above matches the number shown on the identification plate.

Seller's description:

This stunning numbers matching 1964 Jaguar XKE Series 1 Fixed-Head Coupe is a California car that benefitted from a full concours quality restoration costing in excess of $200,000. This XKE shows near-new throughout from its gorgeous red livery, through the beautiful black interior, to the jewel-box-like engine compartment. The numerous mechanical upgrades added during the restoration have certainly enhanced the appearance and drivability of this Jaguar. This XKE needs nothing to be enjoyed and would be a showstopper at any show or on tour. This Jaguar was built on March 5th, 1964 and was dispatched to the New York distributor on the 18th of March, 1964. According to the Jaguar Heritage Certificate (a copy is included on our website), this Coupe is a numbers matching example and had been a long time California car, most likely since new. The last owner was Lydia Beebe, Esq, from San Fransisco, CA, who presently serves on several public company boards of directors, including for the largest natural gas producer in the US (EQT Corporation) and the Kansas City Southern Railway Company. Lydia acquired the Jaguar from a long time California owner on October 28, 1992, and she enjoyed it for the next 30 years. On March 30, 2021, the Jaguar was acquired by our good friend and client who has a collection of about 45 E-Types. It was still adorned by its California Blue Plate license plate. He commenced a comprehensive restoration through his restoration team at Doctor Jag Technologies in Albuquerque, NM. Investing $50,000 in parts alone as well as about 2,100 hours of labor, the present owner invested well over $200,000 in its restoration. And it shows. Doctor Jag Technologies is well respected for its parts fabrication and restorations, which incorporate about 14 engineering advances, improving performance, reliability and safety. The beautiful livery of this Jaguar is Carmen Red (Paint Code 3097) is in show quality condition due to its recent restoration. The paint is nearly perfect with only a very few minor imperfections, and you would be hard pressed to find them. The chrome wire wheels show very well and are wrapped with Pirelli Ginturato radial tires. The chrome and stainless trim are all newly polished and show very well throughout and is nearly perfect. The exterior of this E-Type is stunning overall and is ready to show. The interior of this Jaguar is as gorgeous as the exterior. The black leather upholstery appears near-new overall with very few noticeable imperfections. The black carpets show little to no wear as does the beautiful gray headliner. The gauges have internal upgrades along with upgraded sending units. All gauges perform as designed and are in beautiful condition. The chrome London Radio works well and sounds great. The wood and chrome Moto-Lita steering wheel looks beautiful and feels great in your hands. The interior chrome and trim are in very nice condition and show very well. The interior of this recently restored XKE shows incredibly well overall and is very complementary to the beautiful red exterior. The Jaguar is wonderful to drive with excellent power. The numbers matching engine, cylinder head and transmission look as-new or perhaps better with ample polishing to make it stunning to behold. During our test drives this Coupe was a blast to drive. Shifting through the four-speed transmission was smooth and easy and the Wilwood brakes performed brilliantly. The engine compartment is as nice to look at as the rest of this gorgeous Jaguar. There were numerous performance and mechanical upgrades made during the restoration. The upgrades include: a Ron Davis alloy radiator, Electronic Ignition, Findanza Performance light weight flywheels, Spax adjustable shocks, gear reduction starter, Wilwood Brakes, 15x6 chrome wire wheels with tubeless Pirelli tires, stainless steel exhaust, Cosmetic upgrade engine gaskets, upgraded relays, alloy heater core, grade 8 hardware for subframes, sound and vibration dampening material, remote brakes bleeders, hardware and suspension plating and powder coating, an ignition relay and a number of other items and parts. This XKE comes complete with its spare, jack and tools as well as a comprehensive list of restoration expenses and components and the Jaguar Heritage Trust Certificate. We have this Jaguar XKE priced to sell as the Hagerty No. 1 value is $340,000 and the No. 2 value is $242,000 .
