MotoeXotica Classic Cars is pleased to present this original, unmolested and seldom-seen 1973 Jaguar XK-E 2+2 coupe. Lovingly cared for by the original owner in the beautiful southwestern United States for 11 years, this car was purchased new by Dwight H. Tope from Melloy Bros. Inc., in Albuquerque, New Mexico on January 17, 1974, with only 243 miles on it! The original window sticker and dealer order invoice is included and shows that this Primrose Jaguar left the factory with the following options: chrome wire wheels, air-conditioning, tinted glass, AM/FM stereo radio and rear window defroster.

We say it was well taken care of because we have the original Jaguar Passport to Service booklet with dealer stamps from 1974 to 1985. For example, according to the service booklet, at 45,345 miles, the original speedometer/odometer broke. Mr. Tope had it replaced at his dealer on February 6, 1982. We also know the car's port of entry was Galveston, Texas and that Overseas Motors Corporation of Fort Worth, Texas, was the vehicle distributor.

Also included is the original Protect-O-Plate, owners operating manual, XK Unlimited parts and service catalog, schematics, PDI statement, original window sticker and the original sales contract and much, much more! And if that wasn't enough, there's an extensive collection of parts and service receipts totaling more than $17,000!

Tope owned his own insurance company in Albuquerque, Dwight Tope State Agency, from 1956 until 1984. He became its senior consultant in 1985 before he retired in 1987.

In a photo he once submitted to a Jaguar enthusiast publication, this XK-E is parked on an airstrip before a F-15 fighter jet that one of his sons, Chris L. Tope, piloted during his service in the U.S. Air Force. The elder Tope passed away on Christmas Day, 2003.

Finished in its still-original and elegant Pale Primrose, the paint shows extremely well. Both the front and rear body chrome bumpers with rubber bumper over-riders fit nicely and complement the body with only minor scratches upon closer inspection. All trim is brilliant and bright and is presented in excellent condition.

Inside, the original black Connolly Leather bucket seats are in good condition, with minor areas of splits and wear. The rear seat is in similar condition. The matching black door panels, original Wilton carpet and dashboard are a continuation of the striking interior of the car and look great. All gauges appear and work as designed. Heater, air conditioning and aftermarket Blaupunkt AM/FM stereo with cassette deck and electronically tuned receiver (ETR), (added in 1986 - receipt included in maintenance folder) perform as designed. The original leather-wrapped steering wheel with adjustable steering column and dashboard with console lighter, ashtray and map lights add to the proper British sport car look and feel.

Included are the original chrome 15-inch polished wire wheels and Jaguar center lock hubs with sport-rated Pirelli P70 Touring tires.
