This 1962 Jaguar XKE Series I Roadster is said to have been purchased by the seller’s father in 1966, and a refurbishment in the 1990s involved body repairs, a repaint in Opalescent Gunmetal, and an interior re-trim in black leather. The car is powered by a 3.8-liter inline-six paired with a four-speed manual transmission, and additional equipment includes a black soft top, 15” knockoff wire wheels, four-wheel disc brakes, covered headlights, split chrome bumpers, and a wood-rimmed steering wheel. Work performed in 2022 reportedly involved overhauling the triple SU carburetors, installing a battery cutoff switch, and replacing the fuel pump. This Series I XKE is now offered with manufacturer’s literature, a Jaguar Daimler Heritage Trust certificate, and a clean Florida title in the seller’s name.

Finished from the factory in Opalescent Gunmetal, the car is said to have been repainted during a refurbishment in the mid-1990s after several decades of storage. Work reportedly involved repairing left-side accident damage sustained in the 1960s, as well as re-plating the bright exterior trim. Exterior features include a black soft top, a louvered clamshell hood, covered headlights, dual center-exit exhaust outlets, and split chrome bumpers with overriders.

Chrome-finished 15″ knockoff wire wheels are retained via two-eared spinners and mounted with 205/70 Cooper CS5 Grand Touring tires. Stopping power is provided by servo-assisted four-wheel disc brakes with inboard-mounted units at the rear. The seller notes a vibration while driving at higher speeds.

The cabin features bucket seats trimmed in black leather with color-coordinated door panels and carpets. Bright metal trim adorns the dash and center console. The car is not equipped with a radio, and has wear on interior surfaces.

The wood-rimmed steering wheel fronts Smiths instrumentation including a 160-mph speedometer and a 6k-rpm tachometer with an inset clock, while auxiliary gauges are mounted in the center of the dash. The five-digit odometer shows 45k miles, approximately 3k of which have been added since the refurbishment. Total mileage is unknown.

The 3.8-liter inline-six features triple SU carburetors that were overhauled in 2022, per the seller. The fuel pump and engine oil were also replaced at that time, and a battery cutoff switch has been added. The seller notes an oil leak.

Power is sent to the rear wheels through a four-speed manual transmission.

A Jaguar Daimler Heritage Trust certificate shows the original configuration and colors along with identification numbers for the chassis, engine, body, and gearbox.

This 1962 Jaguar XKE Series I Roadster spent 57 years under single-family ownership from 1966 until the seller’s acquisition in 2023. Finished in Opalescent Silver Grey over black leather, it is powered by a 3.8-liter inline-six linked with a four-speed manual transmission and a limited-slip differential. Features include a black soft top, triple SU carburetors, a stainless steel exhaust system, four-wheel disc brakes, 15″ wire-spoke wheels, a cabin heater, and a wood-rimmed steering wheel. The car was restored in the late 1990s and was previously listed on BaT in May 2023. This XKE Series I shows 46k miles and is offered with a Jaguar Heritage Trust Certificate, a car cover, a jack, a tool kit, spare parts, owner’s and service manuals, service records, and a clean California title in the seller’s name.

The rear brake calipers were rebuilt in 2021, and the rear suspension bump stops were replaced and the brake fluid was flushed under current ownership.

The five-digit odometer shows 46k miles, approximately 1k of which were added under current ownership. The steering wheel, steering column bearings, the speedometer cable, and the tachometer drive unit were replaced under current ownership.

Service in 2021 consisted of rebuilding the carburetors and replacing the fuel tank, fuel pump, fuel-level sender, battery cables, ignition wire ends, and spark plugs. The rocker cover gaskets, oil line seals, and oil pressure sender unit were replaced under current ownership, and the oil and coolant were changed in December 2024.

Work in 2021 consisted of replacing the clutch hydraulic cylinders, and the clutch, transmission, and differential fluids were changed in December 2024.

A jack, tool kit, and black top boot are included in the sale.
