Sellers description:
numbers matching 1969 Jaguar XKE FHC is an original, documented 31,050 mile car with its original bill of sale, owners manual, and papers. The E-Type, originally purchased May 1, 1969, has tremendous patina and quality that makes it very collectable to own, drive, and show. The previous owner was very proud of the Jaguar marque as indicated by the sticker on the quarter glass. The car comes with a log book for service. The original factory warranty book and protectoplate from 1969 when the car was driven from the selling dealer's lot are also included. This is a spectacular car with 31,050 original miles. It's rare that we see such an original car with its original interior in excellent shape. This car has definitely been well cared for and serviced properly. The engine has 9:1 compression and is driving and running very strong. The coupe also features a front nerf bar, Lucas seal beams, Blaupunkt AM/FM/CD stereo and speakers, four speed wire wheels, optional rare rear window defrost, and a very original interior in great condition. This spectacular XKE FHC would appeal to not only the collector, but would be a great first time Jaguar for any interested buyer.

*Numbers matching with well documented history

This elegantly handsome, numbers matching, Series II coupe is a wonderfully original example that is believed to have covered fewer than 34,000 miles since being purchased by John T Johnson, on May 1st, 1969. In accordance with its original bill of sale, the car left the foreign car specialists at Sports Car Sales, Inc. of Idaho Falls, Idaho, wearing Jaguar's classic shade of Primrose yellow with a black leather interior.

Today, the car is believed to still flaunt the very same paint and leather that it was born with back in 1969, both of which are in remarkable unmolested condition. The car possesses a charming layer of patina throughout that can only be found in an original car that has been maintained to the highest of standards. In addition to the original jack, factory warranty book and data plate, the car will come with a log book documenting the the love that Mr. Johnson gave to this coupe. Furthermore, this wonderfully preserved E-type has been certified as an authentic matching numbers example by the Jaguar Daimler Heritage Trust. Their official Certificate of Authenticity accompanies the car. Since acquiring the car in 2008, the consignor - a prominent British car collector - has dutifully maintained the car to the same high standards that it has become accustom to over the years. The powerful 4.2 liter is noted as being one of the strongest and healthiest examples that the owner has come across. This car is said to be a most scintillating driving experience beckoning its new owner to get behind the wheel. The thrust from the series II power-plant ensures that a rush of adrenaline is never more than a drive away.

When considering this numbers matching Series II coupe's outstanding original condition, irreplaceable patina, chain of long term enthusiast ownership, and its documented history, the car is sure to offer its next caretaker the pride and satisfaction of owning a Series II Jaguar.
