A stunning and captivating 1974 Jaguar XKE Series III Roadster signal red with tan interior and soft top, wire wheels, 57,734 miles in excellent condition: a rebuilt 5.3 liter V-12 engine with 4 SU carburetors; a converted 5 speed manual transmission with a black leather gear shift knob; a sleek black Nordi wooden steering wheel; dual side mirrors; converted power windows; and a Clarion 12 CD player AM-FM radio stereo system.

These upgrades have stimulated the desirability, improved the drivability, and enhanced the looks of "the most beautiful car ever made".

Since its debut in 1961, the XKE open two-seater (roadster) has been an exciting and breath taking sports car without an equal.

1974 was the last year of the production of the XKE, the Series III V-12. It was
without a doubt the smoothest, silkiest, and most comfortable. And, a signal red and biscuit roadster was the "show stopper".

It looks good. It starts, sounds, runs, and drives beautifully. The shifting is tight and effortless; the suspension and handling make it a pleasure to drive. The car runs cool and operates as intended. The interior is in superb condition. The leather is soft and supple; and, the original rugs are still intact and clean. Nice door and kick panels, dash, fully functioning switches and gauges. All of the interior accessories and switches are in good working order, even the clock.

The exterior was repainted a few years ago, and looks nice and smooth with a good shine. The chrome still shows well as does the glass and trim.

This is an opportunity to buy a rust-free, car with matching numbers that is ready to enjoy immediately.
