This car was on eBay, May 2007. Seller's ad reads:

"1967 Jaguar XKE Series 1 convertible

VIN 1E 15201

Engine Number 7E12856-9

Gearbox Number EJ13854

Body Number 6997

Exterior Color Beige

Interior Color Beige

approx 50000 miles

This is a fully restored Series 1 matching numbers car. The cylinder head and engine block numbers and gearbox number matches the VIN plate numbers and the VIN plate is the original plate as verified by the heritage certificate. The interior and exterior colors match the heritage certificate. The car body number tag is affixed behind the license plate. Please be aware that the heritage certificate is not proof of originality as the cylinder head and block of a replacement engine are sometimes restamped ( by an expert) to match the original vin plate although it is more common and much easier to just remove the original vin plate and rest amp a (artificially weathered) new plate with the replacement engine numbers and this the heritage certificate will detect. Many purportedly matching numbers Series 1 XKE's are in fact not and only a metallurgical examination will reveal one with restamped head and block as the heritage certificate cannot detect it. Unfortunately as the value of the cars increases restamping of plate or engine as mentioned above is more common. The number of true matching number cars is not that great .This is guaranteed to be a matching number car. The car was completely disassembled and the engine, transmission and IRS were rebuilt. The body shell was completely rust free. the underside of the shell was left in the original undercoating. The footwells were left as original. The remainder of the body was taken to bare metal and repainted in the proper beige lacquer. All new parts were used in reassembling the car suspension.
