I have owned this E since 1976, previous owner was Miss Douglas Truro N.S. I believe the car was sold new @ Halifax British Motors N.S. but I don't think Miss Douglas was the original owner.
When I bought the car is was Opalescent Silver Blue, with a black factory hardtop (since sold) I changed the colour to Olde English White as soon as I bought it.
The car was fully restored, finished in 1986 using a NOS S 1 bonnet ( originally came with open front lights ) since that time it is usually used with 15x7 offset Daytons, it was converted to front 4 pot Wilwood brakes 7 years ago.
Car has been in storage for the last two years, but will be used in 2006
It presently has 63283 miles on the clock.

I agree. Your xkedata.com website has also confirmed the same information in the "About the XKE" section under "Models", showing the differences between the 4.2 Series 1 and the Series 1.5. This car is a Series 1 1/2.
