The original seats, air cleaner assembly, starter motor, front calipers, master cylinder, Michelin red stripe tires and chrome wire wheels are included with the car as well as the jack and tool roll.

One of the many advantages of the Tremec transmission is the 5th gear which allows cruising at 80 mph the engine is only turning 2500 rpm.

The car has received recognition at local British car shows. At the Philadelphia MG Club show, "The Brits at the Village" in Lahaska, PA it won its class. Also, at the MG Keystone British Motor Gathering at Hellertown, PA the car won it's class all 5 times the car was entered.

This is an opportunity to purchase a stunning, completely sorted XKE roadster in great colors. One of the advantages of buying a vintage car that is not freshly restored is that the finishes and other components have withstood the test of time, the car has been sorted and it shows a gentle patina from light use.
