This 1969 Jaguar XKE Roadster is a Series II example powered by a 4.2-liter twin-cam straight-six paired with a 4-speed manual transmission. A refurbishment was performed in 2013, including engine and gearbox rebuilds, metalwork, a repaint in Signal Red, a new soft top, and a reupholstered Biscuit leather interior. Maintenance within the last two years included rebuilt Zenith carburetors, new shocks, front suspension bushings and ball joints, and more as detailed below. This XKE was purchased by the seller in 2016 and has been driven about 9k miles since.

Work completed in 2013 included metalwork and rust repair on the sheet metal and floors, a repaint in Signal Red, new door and lid seals, and a new tan soft top and rear window.

A trunk-mounted steel luggage rack is not currently installed but is included with the sale as shown in the gallery. New Cibie front lights were installed in 2016, as were new covers for the side, rear, and indicator lights.

The master cylinder and brake booster were replaced and a brake fluid service was performed in July 2018, and brake work in 2012 and 2013 included new calipers with stainless steel pistons, as well as new rotors, hoses, and pads.

A new clutch, pressure plate, and throw-out bearing were said to have been installed during the refurbishment, as were a new alternator, starter, and Bell stainless steel exhaust.
