This 1967 Jaguar XKE 2+2 was acquired in Texas in 2005 by the seller, who later moved the car to Arizona. The seller has driven it approximately 4k miles over the past 15 years, and the car is equipped with its numbers-matching 4.2L inline-six and three-speed automatic transmission. The exterior was refinished in yellow by a previous owner, and the black interior retains seats, gauges, and an AM/FM radio. In September 2020 the triple SU carburetors were rebuilt, the oil was changed, and the battery was replaced. This running and driving Series I project is now offered in Arizona with a manual transmission and other components for the swap, lower door skins, a parts catalog, receipts from current ownership, a Jaguar Heritage Trust certificate, and a clean Texas title in the seller’s name.

The car was delivered new in Pale Primrose Yellow, and it reportedly was refinished two or three decades ago in a single-stage yellow. The seller notes that the paintwork is in poor condition and bodywork including rust repair will need to be performed in the doors and hood as well as other areas. Imperfections in the finish are shown up close in the photo gallery below.

Chrome-finished 15″ wire wheels are mounted with two-eared knock-off hubs and wear Pirelli Scorpion STR tires.

The cabin features front bucket seats and a folding rear bench with black leather upholstery. An AM/FM radio is mounted in the center stack. The brake warning light is illuminated, and the turn signals do not work properly. There are cracks in the dashboard along with other imperfections, and the seller also notes that the floors, kick panels, and areas near the sills exhibit rust. The carpeting was removed for photos.

A three-spoke steering wheel sits ahead of factory Smiths instrumentation that includes a 160-mph speedometer, a 6k-rpm tachometer with an inset analog clock, and auxiliary gauges that extend across the center of the dashboard. The five-digit odometer shows just under 65k miles, approximately 4k of which have been added during current ownership; true mileage is unknown. The seller states that the tachometer occasionally bounces.

The 4.2-liter inline-six is equipped with triple SU carburetors, which were rebuilt in September 2020. Additional service at that time included changing the oil and replacing the battery. Records are said to date back to 2005.

The cylinder-head and engine-block stampings read 7E50989-9, matching the number listed on the Jaguar Heritage Trust certificate.

Power is delivered to the rear wheels through a three-speed automatic transmission.

Spare parts that will accompany the vehicle include a four-speed manual transmission that reportedly was sourced from a 1968 XKE 2+2. Manual pedals, clutch and flywheel components, interior gearbox covers, and sheet metal for a manual-transmission tunnel from Monocoque Metalworks will also be included to complete the swap, along with replacement lower door skins.

The Jaguar Heritage Trust certificate lists the June 1966 production date, original colors, serial numbers, and initial delivery to New York. The seller notes that the data plate on the car is missing.
