Auction description:
1969 XKE 4.2 2+2 Jaguar #P1R42721
I've this 1969 XKE 4.2 2+2 Jaguar for over 35 years. It has always been a show car for the years I have owned it. It has 21,463 original miles and all shows it has taken 1st or 2nd in the early 1990's. I turned it into a high performance show car at the same time keeping it as original as possible.
Lou Fidanza at Gran Tirusmo Jaguar and I decided to make this a level 3 car which took the engine from 190hp to 326hp with internal and external components, you will see on list.
I also upgraded the front and rear suspension and put on Daton S.S. wire wheels. This engine only has about 3500 miles on it, and has made this car 0-60 4 second car. It was also viewed by a sports car authority and he said it was very well done and was a rocket powered limo.
The car also has brand new black leather interior and just the upgrades in 1990 were about 28,000.00 today about 40,000.00. I also have original equipment including the wheels.
Engine: 3 Sucarbs, S.S. covered lines, forged high comp. pistons, high performance cams, alloy wheels & damper system, S.S. headers, large remote oil system with cooler, three electrical fans, and redline moved from 5500rpm to 8500rpm. This engine is what is called stage 3
Suspension: New torsion bars, heavy duty anti sway bars with STR kits, delpin poly brushings system, new shocks, new springs, adjusting anti sway bars.
Exterior: Paint all cut & rubbed, daton S.S wheels
