Sellers description:
Our XKE is an older restoration, of some 10 years. It has always been in a dry, heated garage. Only driven on sunny days, locally.

New tires and new Dayton stainlees/ chrome wire wheels are a just couple of years old, and still as new and true. Very little mileage on car since restoration, and only taken out 3 or 4 times last summer. Drives excellent. All systems work fine- brakes, cooling fuel, electric. Car was completely restored. I will post a few scanned photos of the car during restoration. Everything was gone over, rebuilt or replaced.

I changed the Lucas generator out for a very highly efficient, small aircraft alternator about 5 years ago and it has worked flawlessly. I still have the Lucas generator. It needs a rebuild and comes with the car. I also have the stock wood steering wheel that comes with the car, in great shape. I just prefer a smaller wheel The tires are the proper stock size, Vredesteins. I have the front bumpers and will put them for a new owner if they so wish. I just like 'the lightweight e-type' look, as was the Jag racing team cars of the early 60's.

All the chrome was redone, seats redone, wiring, carbs, differential, engine, gearbox, brakes . It runs out straight and strong. I don't think I have ever put up the top. Rust free body. This was a clean car before the restoration was done.
