Owner: Bob Kirk

On my 16th birthday, after I had passed my drivers test, my uncle who owed (and still does) a 1969 XKE Series 1.5 Coupe asked me if I wanted to drive the Jag. Despite my not knowing how to drive a stick, he patiently taught me how. What a great guy!

However, he unknowingly infected me with the XKE virus, a condition only treatable with ownership. All my adult life, I lusted for an XKE. Now that I retired, I decided it was now or never and went out and purchased a 1969 XKE Coupe Series 2 that is be transported me right now as I type this. I will post more after I put the first mile on it.

Ebay item 6/2/20

www.ebay.com/itm/1969-Jaguar-E-Type-Series-II/164228158825

Opening bid US $1,000 reserve not met 0 bids 2 days left in auction, seller gateway-classic-cars, 65k miles. Said to be in New Carlilse, Indiana in '03.

Seller's description:

Gateway Classic Cars of Tampa is proud to offer this truly gorgeous 1969 Jaguar E-Type Series II Coupe. This 1969 E-Type Series II Coupe for sale is stunning with its Signal Red paint theme that flows well with the Biscuit tan leather interior. This incredible example of late sixties British sports cars in my option has the sweetest body lines of any car, ever! With the long bonnet stretching out in front of you almost beckoning you further down the road, it is almost like the car is telling you just one more mile, just one more curve where you hit the apex perfectly. The hardest part of owning a car like this is pulling to a stop in your garage and twisting the key to shut her down. Tucked under that long bonnet is the original numbers matching 4.2 Liter dual overhead cam inline six cylinder that was an upgrade from the previous 3.8 and mated to the original 4 speed manual transmission. One notable feature about this engine set up is the 3 separate 2 inch Side Draft SU Carburetors. This E Type for sale has been cared for lovingly and it shows everywhere. The interior is crisp, gauges are easy to read with faces that are bright and the glass clean. Once behind the steering wheel of this 1969 Jaguar your hands just fall into place and by that, I mean shifter and steering wheel are in just that right spot! Jaguar E types are in high demand and rightly so. Options for this '69 Jag E type for sale include: Aftermarket A/C, AM/FM radio, Leather interior, Seat belts, knock off rims that are wrapped in Redline tires, 4 wheel disc brakes, Full Synchromesh transmission, and so much more! Notable upgrades worth mentioning are the new battery, new clutch that includes the pressure plate and throw out bearing, new starter, and even a recent tune up have all been completed recently.

I just purchased this 1969 Jaguar XKE Series 2 Coupe from a seller in the Tampa, Florida area. As I type this, it is on a covered transport bringing it to me in Dallas, TX. I will have more to report on Tuesday after it is delivered and I put my first mile on it.

The father of jokes about warm beer and smoke escaping from wires is Joseph Lucas. Lucas died of typhoid after drinking infected water in Naples in 1902.

What disease did Lucas succumb to?
