This 1965 Jaguar XKE Series I coupe was acquired by the current owner in 2004, and it has been modified for racing use and has been utilized in various HSR and VARA events. Build highlights include a fiberglass hood with integrated rally lights, polycarbonate windows, a roll cage, a fire suppression system, and a 22-gallon fuel cell. The modified 4.2-liter inline-six is equipped with triple SU carburetors and linked to a five-speed manual transmission and a limited-slip differential. Finished in Carmen Red over gray, the car rides on 15″ American Racing wheels and GAZ adjustable shocks. The interior houses Ultra Shield aluminum racing seats with harnesses, a quick-release Grant steering wheel, and AutoMeter gauges. This XKE Series I coupe was last raced in the Chihuahua Express in 2015 and is now offered on dealer consignment at no reserve with a spare transmission, a steel hood, service records, additional spare parts, and a clean Arizona title.

The car was fitted with a fiberglass rally-style hood with integrated driving lights and repainted in Carmen Red in 2014. A polycarbonate rear window and side windows have been added, and the bumpers have been removed.

The 15″ alloy American Racing wheels are mounted with Toyo Proxes tires measuring 225/50, and a matching spare is housed in a rally-style mount in the cargo area. Braking is provided by four-wheel discs with inboard-mounted rear rotors. GAZ adjustable shocks have been added.

A roll cage surrounds the cabin, which houses Ultra Shield aluminum racing seats with gray fabric covers and RaceQuip harnesses. An aftermarket shifter has been installed along with a race radio, helmet pouches, a Monit G-200 rally computer, a Sportline stopwatch, and a Grant steering wheel mounted on a quick release. The seller notes that some of the safety equipment is out of date.

Instrumentation includes a Smiths 160-mph speedometer and an AutoMeter tachometer and auxiliary gauges. The five-digit odometer shows 89k miles, approximately 1,300 of which were added under current ownership.

The replacement 4.2-liter inline-six was reportedly rebuilt prior to the Chihuahua Express race in 2014. Induction is through triple SU carburetors, and additional highlights include the following components:

Performance camshafts

10:1 compression ratio

Spin-on oil filter

Aluminum radiator

Electric cooling fan

Engine oil cooler

Cable-operated accelerator linkage

Gear reduction starter

MSD electronic ignition

Tubular headers

Custom stainless-steel exhaust w/resonators

22-gallon fuel cell

Power is routed to the rear wheels through a JT5 five-speed manual transmission and a limited-slip differential. A heavy-duty clutch and an aluminum flywheel were installed around 2014.

A steel hood is included in the sale, along with a four-speed manual gearbox, triple Weber carburetors, a spare wheel, exhaust pipes, an intake manifold, and tubular headers.

Lot #269494

This 1965 Jaguar XKE Series I coupe was utilized in various HSR and VARA events after it was modified for racing under previous ownership in 2014. The modified 4.2-liter inline-six is equipped with triple SU carburetors and is linked to a five-speed manual transmission and a limited-slip differential. Finished in Carmen Red, the car rides on 15″ American Racing wheels and additional build details include a fiberglass hood with integrated rally lights, polycarbonate windows, a roll cage, a fire suppression system, a 22-gallon fuel cell, and GAZ adjustable shocks. The cockpit houses Ultra Shield aluminum racing seats with harnesses, a quick-release Grant steering wheel, and AutoMeter gauges. This XKE Series I coupe was acquired by the current owner on BaT in June 2025 and is now offered on dealer consignment by a BaT Local Partner at no reserve with service records, spare parts, and a Montana title in the name of the owner’s LLC.

During the aforementioned build, the car was fitted with a fiberglass rally-style hood with integrated driving lights, and the bumper mounts were removed before a repaint in Carmen Red. Additional details include mud flaps, polycarbonate rear and side windows, and switches for battery cut-off and fire suppressant mounted ahead of the windshield.

Black-finished 15″ alloy American Racing wheels feature polished rims and are mounted with Toyo Proxes RA1 tires measuring 225/50, while a matching spare is housed in a rally-style mount in the cargo area. Braking is provided by four-wheel discs with inboard-mounted rear rotors. GAZ adjustable shocks have been added.

Inside the cockpit, the Ultra Shield aluminum racing seats wear gray fabric covers and are equipped with RaceQuip harnesses. Additional equipment includes an aftermarket shifter, a race radio, helmet pouches, and a roll cage with padding. The seller notes that various pieces of safety equipment are out of date.

The Grant steering is mounted to a quick-release hub and fronts instrumentation comprising a Smiths 160-mph speedometer and an AutoMeter tachometer and auxiliary gauges as well as a Monit G-200 rally computer and a Sportline stopwatch. The five-digit odometer shows 89k miles, approximately 200 of which were added under current ownership.

The replacement 4.2-liter inline-six was reportedly rebuilt in 2014, and it features the following parts and components:

Triple SU Carburetors

Performance camshafts

10:1 compression ratio

Spin-on oil filter

Aluminum radiator

Electric cooling fan

Engine oil cooler

Cable-operated accelerator linkage

Gear reduction starter

MSD electronic ignition

Tubular headers

Custom stainless-steel exhaust w/resonators

22-gallon fuel cell

In October 2025, the radiator pressure cap was replaced, and the coolant was flushed.

Power is routed to the rear wheels through a JT5 five-speed manual transmission and a limited-slip differential. A heavy-duty clutch and an aluminum flywheel were installed circa 2014.

A steel hood and exhaust pipes are included in the sale, along with a spare transmission.

Photos taken during the engine build, along with historic shots of the car, are presented in the gallery below.

The Montana title notes “Exempt” under the Odometer heading.
