Ebay item 2/26/08
cgi.ebay.com/ebaymotors/ws/eBayISAPI.dll
Current bid $36,100 reserve not met, 9 bids, 9 days left in auction. Car now located in Eugene, Oregon.

Sellers description:
1968 Series I ½ E-type Jaguar. These cars retained the beauty and sleekness of the Series I cars with only a handful of changes from the 1961-1967 E-Types. Only 771 of this model were produced. Since these cars retained all the body panels and bumpers of the series I, it continues to showcase the timeless beauty of the original design. This combined with the Series II upgrades makes these cars far more desirable that the Series II. Serious collectors will recognize that these cars are visually identical to the Series I E-types and are only lacking the glass over the headlamps. This car, restored about 6 years ago, was fitted with a new Series I bonnet with the enclosed headlights. This E-type has no signs of rust repair or any accident damage. When restored it was finished in an elegant forest green color including all subframes and the underside of the bonnet. It is mechanically and aesthetically brilliant. This is not a 100 JCNA car that has to be pushed onto the field. This is a gorgeous OTS that will run with the best of them performing just as an E-type should and look fantastic doing it. Everything works and does what it should, (except the clock). This E-type has been loved and maintained.

Sellers description:
1968 E-Type Jaguar. This car is a very high level show / driver. I purchased the car from The Sports Car Shop in Eugene Oregon a couple years ago. I was told it was a numbers matching frame off restoration prior to that and I have no reason to dispute that claim. You will notice it has the 67 bonnet with covered headlights which I assume was added at the time of the frame off restoration. You may agree it improves the looks of the car as I do. It has always been garaged in my posession. This car is runs solidly, drives solidly, looks execellent and is very reliable. I have in fact driven this car on several long distance trips (900+ miles) without incident. There is no better feeling than blowing by a modern car on the interstate in this e-type at 80 mph and watching the looks on astonished folks' faces. If you inspect this car and drive it you will most likely buy it.

Mechanically the car is very sound. This car starts from cold with choke on the first crank, accelerates under full throttle with surpising power, shifts cleanly, and stops perfectly. There are no issues with any system (except original radio which does not work). Everything else works including the clock! The car does not overheat even in Tennessee summer traffic. JaguarSouth just completed full rebuild of the transmission including new clutch pressure plate, throughout bearing etc. I drove it home 200 glorious mile through the mountains of Northern Georgia, North Carolina and East Tennessee.

Cosmetically the car is excellent. The interior has exellent black leather, dash, and correct carpet with under felt. All gauges, lights and switches function as they should. Steering wheel is great, as is interior chrome trim and shift knob. Engine bay has an extremely high level of detail and is very clean. The paint is dark green with excellent gloss. The body has no rust and body panels fit very nicely. Chrome is good. Glass is good. Tires are Pirelli on Dayton tubeless wires. I have a set of Coker reproduction redlines that can go with the car. There are very few miles on them. Conervtible top is very good.

This is a 40+ year old used car and does have a few very small cosmetic issues which I will be happy to discuss with serious buyers. I drive it frequently therefore it has a few small chips and imperfections. The upside is that it is completely sorted and solid. This car attracts alot of attention wherever it goes. I have enjoyed now it is time for the next project.

Lot #166003

This 1968 Jaguar XKE Series 1.5 roadster was first delivered in San Francisco, California, and at some point before 2008 the car was refinished in British Racing Green with black leather upholstery, a black soft top, and retrofitted headlight covers. In 2014 a Tremec five-speed manual transmission was installed, and in 2015 the water pump was replaced. The current owner acquired the car in 2016 and has since driven the car approximately 6,500 miles, and in 2021 the 4.2-liter inline-six was serviced with a rebuild of the front carburetor, installation of MSD ignition, and replacing coolant hoses, the master cylinder, and more as described below. The rear disc brakes and front suspension were also refreshed at this time. This XKE Series 1.5 roadster is now offered at no reserve in California on dealer consignment with a Jaguar Heritage Trust Certificate, the owner’s manual, service records, spare parts, and a clean Oregon title.

The Jaguar Heritage Trust Production Record Trace certificate lists that the car was delivered in Dark Blue with a color-coordinated top, and at some point before 2008 the car was modified with enclosed headlights and refinished British Racing Green with a black soft top and matching boot. The selling dealer notes chips on the front fascia and hazing areas on the rear bumper chrome.

The 15″ wire wheels are secured by two-ear knock-offs and were mounted with Pirelli Cinturato tires in 2017. In 2021 the upper and lower ball joints were replaced along with the rear brake calipers and pads.

The interior also underwent a color change under previous ownership and now has black leather upholstery and carpeting. The owner reports that the right most toggle switch is an on/off switch for manually activating the auxiliary fan to aid in idle cooling. There are no sun visors currently mounted on the car, and a loose set of sun visors is included with the sale.

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 94k miles, thought it is not believed to be accurate, and approximately 6,500 miles have been added under current ownership. Total mileage is unknown.

The 4.2-liter inline-six features dual Zenith-Stromberg carburetors and was factory rated at 246 horsepower and 263 lb-ft of torque. In 2021 the timing was set, the front carburetor was rebuilt and ported, MSD ignition was installed, and the coolant hoses, thermostat, and master cylinder were replaced. The car also has an aluminum radiator with dual cooling fans, and the battery is dated January 2023.

The five-speed Tremec manual transmission was installed in 2014, at which time the clutch components were replaced.

The car is accompanied by an owner’s manual, dealer listing, service voucher booklet, and Jaguar branded booklet case, a tire jack and case, copper-headed knockoff mallet, a loose set of sun visors, a spare distributor, and other various spare parts.

The Jaguar Heritage Trust Production Record Trace certificate shows the original colors as well as the build and dispatch dates.
