1969 Jaguar XKE Roadster
The car you're looking at is a 1969 4.2 Type 2 roadster with 11,000 actual miles! This stunning convertible had originally been purchased by a gentleman from Bloomfield, Michigan and was subsequently sold through Hemmings Motor news to a buyer from Oregon in 1985. It was parked in a heated garage for the next 25 years before being sold to a classic car store in Portland, Oregon and is now in our possession. The Willow green paint and black leather interior are original and gives the design added flair. We have given this car a thorough re-commissioning which entailed an overhaul of the cooling, fuel and brake systems. The E-Type is celebrating its 50th anniversary and this car pays the perfect complement to its existence.

Auction description:
Sale 19680 - The Scottsdale Sale, 19 Jan 2012
Arizona, Scottsdale
Lot No: 358
Approximately 11,000 miles from new, incredibly well-preserved
1969 Jaguar E-Type 4.2-Liter Series 2 Roadster
Chassis no. 1R8626
Engine no. 7R 4387-9
*4.2-liter inline six-cylinder engine
*150 mph performance
*Four-speed manual transmission
*The world's greatest crumpet catcher
*Remarkably preserved example
*Desirable rarely seen color
*Approximately 11,000 miles from new
Presented here is quite possibly the finest preserved Series II E-Type Roadster Bonhams has ever had the pleasure of offering. Chassis number '1R8626' was delivered in the striking and rarely seen shade of Willow Green, and was purchased new by Jack Kaufman of Bloomfield, Michigan. He drove the car rarely, and in 1985 advertised it for sale in Hemmings; it was then sold to Norm Fogelstrom of Creswell, Oregon, who kept the Jaguar in his garage and, with an eye towards preservation, never drove it. That is how, upon acquisition by the vendor in June 2011, this Jaguar had covered only approximately 11,000 miles from new. The E-Type retains its original paint, interior, glass, top, wheels, and even tires. Because the car sat for 26 years, the vendor took care to service the cooling system, fuel tank, carburetors, and brakes as needed. Here is a quite possibly unrepeatable chance to acquire an E-Type Roadster in one of the most desirable colors produced, a shoe-in for the Preservation Class at most any Concours d'Elegance. It will surely afford its new owner the pride of ownership that only a truly original example of the marque is capable of.
Estimate: US$110,000 - 140,000
Sold for US$97,500 inclusive of Buyer's Premium

This car was purchased new by Jack Kaufman of Bloomfield, Michigan. He drove the car rarely, and in 1985 advertised it for sale in Hemmings Motor News.

This 1969 Jaguar XKE Series II roadster was built on February 26, 1969 and delivered to New York via British Leyland Motors. It is finished in Willow Green over black 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 black soft top, a louvered clamshell hood, four-wheel disc brakes, 15″ wire wheels, and an AM/FM/shortwave radio. This XKE roadster is now offered on dealer consignment with a Jaguar Heritage Trust certificate, service records, the owner’s manual, and a clean Montana title.
The car is finished in Willow Green, and exterior equipment includes a black soft top, a driver-side mirror, wraparound chrome bumpers, bright trim, a louvered clamshell hood, and dual exhaust outlets.
The 15″ wire wheels are secured by two-eared knock-offs and are mounted with Kumho 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 a locking glovebox, an AM/FM/SW radio, lap belts, a wood shift knob, and a heater.
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 14k 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.
Power is routed to the rear wheels through a four-speed manual transmission and a limited-slip differential.
The Jaguar Daimler Heritage Trust certificate shows the factory colors and equipment as well as a build date of February 26, 1969.
