This 1970 Jaguar XKE is a Series II fixed-head coupe that was purchased new by the current owner and was the subject of a mechanical and cosmetic refurbishment in the early 1980s. Work completed at that time included an overhaul of the 4.2-liter inline-six and refinishing the car in light green over beige leather upholstery. The car is equipped with a four-speed manual transmission, a dual exhaust system, chrome 15″ wire wheels, power steering, air conditioning, a wood-rimmed steering wheel, and a Philips AM/FM push-button radio. Service in August 2022 included rebuilding the power steering rack and one of the Zenith-Stromberg carburetors, replacing the valve cover gaskets, flushing the brake fluid, and installing replacement carpets. This XKE coupe is now offered on dealer consignment with an owner’s manual, a tool kit, a Jaguar Daimler Heritage Trust certificate, service records, workshop manuals, refurbishment photos, and a clean Illinois title in the owner’s name.

Finished from the factory in Willow Green, the car was repainted in the current shade in 1982 following the repairs to the trunk floor, front floors, and rocker panels. Features include a bright driver-side mirror and trim, a power antenna, pop-out rear windows, polished dual exhaust tips, and chrome bumpers with overriders. Bubbling paint is noted on the passenger door and right-rear quarter panel, a dent is shown on the right-front overrider.

Chrome 15″ wire wheels secured by knock-off nuts are mounted with 205/70 Michelin Symmetry narrow-whitewall tires. A matching spare is stored below the rear floor. The car is equipped with adjustable Spax front shock absorbers and four-wheel disc brakes with inboard rear rotors. The power steering rack was rebuilt, replacement power steering hoses were installed, and the brake fluid was flushed in preparation for the sale.

The front bucket seats were reupholstered in beige leather Connolly leather along with a color-coordinated center console and door panels during the refurbishment. Amenities include air conditioning, a Philips AM/FM push-button radio, a locking glove box, and chrome trim. The leather shift boot and wool carpets were replaced in preparation for the sale. Wear and areas of discoloration are shown on the front seats.

Smiths instrumentation consists of a 160-mph speedometer, a tachometer with a 5k-rpm redline, an analog clock, and gauges for voltage, coolant temperature, and fuel level. The five-digit mechanical odometer is said to have rolled over and now shows 27k. The total mileage is unknown. The selling dealer notes that the wood-rimmed steering wheel is cracked.

The 4.2-liter inline-six was overhauled in 1982 by Coventry Classics of Orlando, Florida, and is equipped with twin electric cooling fans and dual Zenith-Stromberg carburetors. The spark plugs and valve cover gaskets were replaced, the front carburetor was rebuilt, and an oil change was performed in preparation for the sale.

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

The Jaguar Daimler Heritage Trust certificate indicates the factory colors as well as chassis, body, engine, and gearbox numbers along with an April 1970 build date.

A tool kit, an owner’s manual, workshop manuals, and service records are included in the sale.
