This 1970 Jaguar XKE Series II coupe was purchased by the seller’s father in 1981. It is finished in Regency Red over black leather and powered by a 4.2-liter inline-six linked with a four-speed manual transmission and a limited-slip differential. Equipment includes a louvered clamshell hood, four-wheel disc brakes, 15″ wire wheels, a wood-rimmed steering wheel, an AM/FM radio, and a heater. The seller notes that service in 2023 included touching up the paint, flushing the coolant and fuel system, rebuilding the carburetors and fuel pump, changing the fluids, and replacing the brake master cylinder and vacuum servo, the clutch assembly, and the clutch hydraulics. This XKE coupe is now offered with spare parts, a car cover, and transferable New York registration.

The car is finished in Regency Red, and exterior equipment includes sealed-beam open headlights, a driver-side mirror, wraparound chrome bumpers, bright trim, a louvered clamshell hood, and dual exhaust outlets. Work performed in 2023 reportedly included installing a mechanical brake light switch, touching up the paint, and replacing the door lock tumblers and windshield wiper blades.

The car is equipped with chrome 15″ wire wheels, 185-series Michelin red-line tires, and four-wheel disc brakes with inboard rear rotors. Service in 2023 reportedly included lubricating the chassis and ball joints and replacing the brake master cylinder, brake master vacuum servo, brake flex lines, several brake hydraulic hoses, and ball joint boots.

The cabin features bucket seats upholstered in Black leather along with a color-coordinated center console, door panels, and carpets. Interior appointments include an AM/FM radio, a locking glovebox, and a heater. Work performed in 2023 is said to have included cleaning the fuse block and headlight switch and replacing the clutch pedal spring, four-way flasher relay, and seatbelt emblems.

The wood-rimmed steering wheel frames Smiths instrumentation including a 160-mph speedometer and a tachometer with a 5k-rpm redline as well as an analog clock and gauges for voltage, oil pressure, coolant temperature, and fuel level. The five-digit odometer shows 69k miles. The temperature gauge sending unit was reportedly replaced in 2023.

The 4.2-liter inline-six was factory equipped with dual Zenith-Stromberg carburetors and rated at 246 horsepower and 263 lb-ft of torque when new. Service in 2023 reportedly included rebuilding the carburetors and fuel pump, balancing the carburetors, flushing the coolant, flushing the fuel tank and fuel system, and replacing the radiator fan thermostat switch, fan belt, thermostat housing gasket, and radiator fan motor brushes.

Power is routed to the rear wheels through a four-speed manual transmission and a limited-slip differential. Work in 2023 reportedly included replacing the clutch assembly, clutch cylinders, rear transmission mount seats, and flywheel dowel pins.

The vehicle does not have a title, as it is registered in a state that does not issue titles for vehicles of its age. It is sold with its transferable New York registration.
