1962 Jaguar XKE Chrome

PRICE LOWERED FROM $125K, MUST SELL ASAP. Garage kept & covered since 1990, recently had engine overhauled with all hoses, lines & fluids replaced, and it now runs like a champ. This car is in MINT CONDITION. Tan Leather interior was just detailed and looks/smells brand spanking new, with brand new carpets. I helped my father restore this vehicle for 2 years in the late 80's. VERY LOW MILEAGE, ONLY 43K ORIGINAL MILES. I hate to let this work of art go, but my father left behind lots of debt so I must sell as soon as possible to settle his estate. One tiny hole in windshield. Title is clear. The vehicle is located in Largo/Seminole area off Park Blvd near intersection of Starkey Rd. (Luxury European Auto next to Dunkin Donuts).

As the 221st left-hand-drive fixed head coupe built, this E-Type benefits from all of these sought-after features. It was completed on November 21, 1961, in the striking combination of Opalescent Bronze over Red, and originally dispatched to Jaguar Cars of New York, where it was sold to its first owner.

While little is known about this car’s early history, it was acquired by UK marque specialists New Forest Classic Cars in 2011, undergoing an extensive restoration that started in 2013 and was completed in November 2015, with over 2,800 restoration hours logged. It was restored utilizing a new front subframe (the original numbered section of the subframe accompanies the car) and it was refinished in its original Opalescent Bronze over Red color scheme. According to the accompanying JDHT Certificate, the Jaguar retains its matching-numbers engine. Beautifully presented in its original specification, and fitted with a set of outside-laced wire wheels, this early production Series I E-Type remains as attractive and sought-after today as it was 64 years ago.
