Sellers comment:
This XKE is a Series 1 with the covered headlamps, and a 4.2 liter, triple carb engine. It has a 4 speed transmission . It is a delight to drive and just needs a little TLC

Vehicle Condition
Everything functions on the car – I’m unsure of the actual mileage (between 45 – 55,000 miles). Car was re-painted 11 years ago, chrome is original and in very good condition. Interior is original and needs some TLC, no rips on the seats. Floor pans have been replaced and carbs and radiator have been rebuilt.Engine runs excellent. The wire wheels are in good condition. The car has always been garaged and comes with a car cover.

Write me a note when you get a chance. I live Kitchener - right next door. I have cars:
2r14173 and a 2+2 1e78052. I would like to tear down the 2+2 and was wondering what all your mistakes were so that I don't have to make the same ones. Later.
