This 1969 Jaguar XKE Series II roadster is finished in red with a black soft top over black leather upholstery and powered by a 4.2-liter inline-six equipped with dual Zenith-Stromberg carburetors. Shifting is through a four-speed manual transmission linked with a limited-slip differential, and the car rides on 15″ knock-off wire wheels coupled with disc brakes at all four corners. Inside, a wood-rimmed Nardi steering wheel is accompanied by Smiths instrumentation and an Eclipse CD stereo. Acquired by the late owner in 2013, this XKE roadster is now offered by the seller on behalf of their spouse with a clean Tennessee title.
The car is believed to have been painted red under previous ownership before being refinished again circa 2024. It wears a black soft top and has been fitted with a luggage rack out back. A louvered clamshell hood, uncovered sealed-beam headlights, wraparound chrome bumpers, and quad ANSA-branded exhaust outlets are further details. The seller notes various cosmetic flaws around the body as well as a hole in the soft top.
The 15″ wire wheels are secured by three-eared knock-offs and mounted with 205/75 Michelin tires. Braking is provided by four-wheel discs with inboard-mounted rear rotors.
The cabin features bucket seats upholstered in black leather along with a color-coordinated center console, door panels, and carpets. Interior appointments include an Eclipse CD stereo as well as a heater, a sliding rear-view mirror, and a locking glovebox. The seller notes that the seat covers and foam were changed under previous ownership along with the carpets and other interior trim pieces.
The wood-rimmed Nardi steering wheel is paired with a wood shift knob and 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 29k miles, approximately 3k of which were added under current ownership.
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.
Power is routed to the rear wheels through a four-speed manual transmission and a limited-slip differential. The seller tells us that the clutch cylinders were replaced and an exhaust system featuring Walker mufflers was installed in 2013, and the fuel pump is noted to have been changed in 2026.
