This 1966 Jaguar XKE is a non-running Series I roadster that is said to have been off the road since 1983 and remained with its previous owner for more than four decades before it was recently acquired by the selling dealer. The car is finished in red over black upholstery and is equipped with a 4.2-liter inline-six paired with a four-speed manual transmission. Features include a black soft top, 15″ knock-off wire wheels, four-wheel disc brakes, triple SU carburetors, chrome split bumpers, and a push-button stereo with a Pioneer sound system. This Series I XKE project is now offered by the selling dealer with a clean California title.

The car is said to have been finished in white from the factory and repainted in its current shade of red under previous ownership. Equipment includes split chrome bumpers with overriders, a black soft top, a driver-side mirror, and quad central exhaust outlets. There is rust around the body.

Chrome 15” wire wheels are secured with two-eared knockoffs and mounted with older Dunlop tires. Stopping power is provided by disc brakes at all four corners.

The cabin features bucket seats trimmed in black leather as well as red door panels and a black dash. Features include a wooden shift knob, a push-button stereo, and a Pioneer sound system. The carpets have been removed, there is wear throughout the interior, and rust is present in the footwells.

The wood-rimmed steering wheel frames Smiths instrumentation consisting of a 160-mph speedometer and a 6k-rpm tachometer with an inset analog clock. Gauges for coolant temperature, oil pressure, fuel level, and amperage are centrally mounted. The five-digit odometer shows 26k miles.

The 4.2L twin-cam inline-six is equipped with triple SU side-draft carburetors and is paired with a four-speed manual gearbox. The selling dealer notes that the car has not been driven since 1983.

The chassis plate is shown above, and the California title lists J671E12532 under the “Engine or ID Number” section.

Stamping on the chassis shows 1E12532.
