Sellers desctiption:
1970 JAGUAR XKE COUPE THAT IS A NICE DRIVER. THE CAR HAS A NICE HISORY IN OKLAHOMA ( NO SALT). THE CAR HAS FRESH INTERIOR PIECES ( SEATS ,DOOR PANELS, CARPET ETC). CAR RUNS OUT STRONG. THIS 4.2 IS THE NICEST SOUNDING JAG I HAVE BEEN AROUND. THIS XKE IS ALL STOCK, THE ONLY CHANGES I WOULD NOTE ARE THE FANS THAT COOL THIS CAT ARE WIRED TO A SWITCH UNDER THE DASH. THIS JAG IS DRIVEN WEEKLY IN ALL SUNNY WEATHER. I HAVE STOOD IN TRAFFIC IN THE SUMMER WITH NO OVER HEATING PROBLEMS. JAG OWNERS KNOW THAT THE SERIES II IS THE MOST RELIABLE OF THE XKE'S. THE REDLINE TIRES ARE FRESH. THE ONLY REPAIRS I SEE ON THE BODY ARE NEW FOOT WELL SECTIONS FOR DRIVER AND PASSENGER. I HAVE OWNED THE CAR SINCE SUMMER. NO PROBLEMS. STARTED EVERYTIME I WANTED TO CRUISE. I OWN A 66 XKE ROADSTER AND I AM GOING TO LET THIS ONE GO FOR ANOTHER PROJECT. WIFE SAYS I AM ONE XKE OVER MY LIMIT. NICE CAR. CAR GETS A LOT OF ATTENTION. GREAT COLOR COMBINATION. I HAVE NOT SEEN ANY LIKE THIS. MOST PRIMROSE YELLOW CARS CAME WITH BLACK INTERIOR.

I HAVE TAKEN THE CAR ON DAY TRIPS BUT REMEMBER THIS CLASSIC IS 35 YEARS OLD. I WOULD SHIP BEFORE DRIVING HOME FOR YOUR ENJOYMENT.

Vehicle Condition
NICE ORIGINAL DRIVER. GOOD MECHANICAL. CAR HAS RELIABLE HISTORY. CAR WILL LEAVE SMALL DRIPS OF OIL AFTER LONG CRUISE. VALVE COVER O-RINGS NEED REPLACING. GASKETS ARE NEW AROUND COVERS.
