This 1965 Jaguar XKE is finished in red over black leather upholstery and is powered by a 4.2-liter inline-six paired with a four-speed manual transmission. The car was reportedly purchased by a family friend of the the seller in the late 1980s and primarily remained in storage from 1998 until 2018, after which it was acquired by the seller and his father in 2021. The engine was refreshed in 2010, and recent service included an oil change, a coolant flush, replacement of the clutch slave cylinder, and bleeding the brake and clutch fluids. This XKE is now offered with repair manuals and a Washington State classic title.

The car was reportedly repainted in its current red in the early 1990s and was color sanded and polished by the seller to remove oxidation. Exterior features include chrome split bumpers, a driver-side mirror, headlight covers, and bright trim. The grille is cracked and two dents are noted on the passenger side of the car. Areas of rust and bubbling paint are evident.

Chrome-finished 15″ wire wheels with knock-off hubs wear Coker Classic tires with redline sidewalls, and a full-size spare is located beneath the cargo floor. Rust is noted on the wheels. Stopping power is provided by four-wheel disc brakes, and the car rides on front and rear independent suspension.

The cabin features black leather upholstery with matching trim and gray seatbelts. The carpeting and headliner have deteriorated and show evidence of moth damage, and the center console leather is torn. The seller reports that the stereo is inoperable and that the fuel gauge always reads full.

A wood-rimmed steering wheel shows cracking and frames Smiths instrumentation that includes a 160-mph speedometer and a tachometer. The five-digit odometer shows 69k miles, approximately 200 of which were added under current ownership. Total mileage is unknown.

The 4.2-liter inline-six is fitted with dual Stromberg carburetors and was refreshed and tuned by Keith Ansell’s Foreign Parts Positivity of Brush Prairie, Washington, in 2010. Recent service included an oil change, a coolant flush, replacement of the clutch slave cylinder, and bleeding the brake and clutch fluids. An aftermarket radiator has been installed along with an electric fan and an electronic ignition system. The seller notes that the cooling fan runs whenever the ignition is on. Power is sent to the rear wheels through a four-speed manual transmission.
