This 1963 Jaguar XKE is a Series I coupe was purchased by the seller as a non-running project on April 27, 1971, and subsequently placed in storage. The car remained off the road until it was re-registered in 2015, and it is finished in black over a tan leather interior. Power is from a 3.8-liter inline-six mated to a four-speed manual gearbox, and work performed since the early 1990s is said to have included an engine rebuild, a new clutch, upgraded cooling system, interior refurbishment, replacement wire wheels, and more as described below. This Series I XKE shows is now offered with a Jaguar Heritage Trust certificate, a factory shop manual, spare removed parts, a tool kit, and transferable New York registration in the seller’s name.
