This 1970 Jaguar XKE Series II coupe is finished in Light Blue over Dark Blue leather and is powered by a 4.2-liter inline-six linked with a four-speed manual transmission and a limited-slip differential. Equipment includes a louvered clamshell hood, four-wheel disc brakes, 15″ wire wheels, a wood-rimmed steering wheel, and a cassette stereo. It was acquired by the selling dealer in April 2023, and a replacement stainless-steel exhaust system was reportedly installed in preparation for the sale. This XKE coupe is now offered in Plainville, Connecticut with a Jaguar Heritage Trust Certificate and a clean New Jersey title.

Finished from the factory in Light Blue, the car was reportedly repainted around 2010. Exterior equipment includes US-specification headlights, dual side mirrors, wraparound chrome bumpers, a louvered clamshell hood, and dual exhaust outlets.

The chrome 15″ wire wheels are secured by knock-off hubs and are mounted with 205/70 Dunlop SP40 tires. Braking is provided by four-wheel discs with inboard-mounted rear rotors.

The cabin features bucket seats upholstered in Dark Blue leather along with a color-coordinated center console, door panels, and carpets. A Pioneer cassette stereo is housed in the center console and a replacement center armrest has been installed. The air conditioning system is inoperative and a tear on the passenger-side armrest is viewable in the gallery.

The wood-rimmed steering wheel frames Smiths instrumentation including a 160-mph speedometer and a tachometer with a 5k-rpm redline as well as an analog clock and gauges for voltage, oil pressure, coolant temperature, and fuel level. The five-digit odometer shows 48k miles.

The 4.2-liter inline-six was factory equipped with dual Zenith-Stromberg carburetors and rated at 246 horsepower and 263 lb-ft of torque when new. An oil change was performed by the selling dealer.

Power is routed to the rear wheels through a four-speed manual transmission and a limited-slip differential. A replacement stainless-steel exhaust system was installed in preparation for the sale.

This 1970 Jaguar XKE Series II coupe is finished in Light Blue over Dark Blue leather and is powered by a 4.2-liter inline-six linked with a four-speed manual transmission and a limited-slip differential. Equipment includes a louvered clamshell hood, four-wheel disc brakes, 15″ wire wheels, a wood-rimmed steering wheel, and a cassette stereo. It was refurbished around 2010, and a stainless-steel exhaust system was installed before the car was listed on BaT in December 2023. The seller acquired it after the auction, and since that time the air-conditioning system was refurbished, white-stripe tires were mounted, and fluid changes were performed. Driven ~550 miles over the last three years, including a recent 300-mile trip from Connecticut to Virginia, this XKE coupe is now offered with a Jaguar Heritage Trust Certificate and a Virginia title in the seller’s name.

Finished from the factory in Light Blue, the car was reportedly repainted around 2010. Exterior equipment includes US-specification headlights, dual side mirrors, wraparound chrome bumpers, a louvered clamshell hood, and dual exhaust outlets.

Chrome 15″ wire wheels are secured on knock-off hubs, and the seller had 205/70 Ironman white-stripe tires mounted. Braking is provided by four-wheel discs with inboard-mounted rear rotors.

The cabin features bucket seats upholstered in Dark Blue leather along with a color-coordinated center console, door panels, and carpets. A Pioneer cassette stereo is housed in the center console and a replacement center armrest has been installed. The air conditioning system has been refurbished, with a replacement compressor installed since the last auction. A tear on the right armrest is noted.

The wood-rimmed steering wheel frames Smiths instrumentation including a 160-mph speedometer and a tachometer with a 5k-rpm redline as well as an analog clock and gauges for voltage, oil pressure, coolant temperature, and fuel level. The five-digit odometer shows under 49k miles, with around 550 added since the last auction.

The 4.2-liter inline-six was factory equipped with dual Zenith-Stromberg carburetors and rated at 246 horsepower and 263 lb-ft of torque when new. Since the last auction, the radiator was flushed and the oil was changed.

Power is routed to the rear wheels through a four-speed manual transmission and a limited-slip differential. A replacement stainless-steel exhaust system was installed before the seller acquired the car, and the universal joints were greased and the boots were replaced under current ownership.

The Jaguar Heritage Trust certificate lists the factory colors and serial numbers, along with a build date of December 31, 1969.

The title carries an “Actual” odometer brand and lists the car as a two-door sedan.
