Sellers description:
This 1964 XKE OTS with matching numbers was part of a private collection of cars. The car was restored by the previous owner at great expense with some documentation which will be supplied to the new owner. The restoration was performed about 12 years ago and the car has been sitting since 2009 because the previous owner had passed away. In this high level driver restoration the car was completely repainted, the interior is all new as well as the top. During the restoration process new tires and wheels were installed as well as bright work re-plated. There is a radio blanking plate in the car. The vehicle has a new stainless steel exhaust system, new wire loom, new shocks front and rear, new hydraulics, new cooling system, the gas tank was taken out, hot tanked, epoxy sealed, and painted. The engine has been rebuilt and an auxiliary fan was installed. Classic Showcase has serviced and prepped the vehicle to be driven. Generally this car is in good shape and very collectable. For your satisfaction we would recommend having an independent outside buyers inspection evaluation performed on the car because Classic Showcase did not do the restoration on this vehicle. This will provide answers to unknown questions.

Dublicate or bug???

Car offered under: www.rmd.be/index.php/cars/inventory claims also to be 879718. Car for sale at this dealer already since mid. 2012 (before last Ebay auction) --> cannot be the same car. Heritage Certificate from this dealer also claims, car was originally Golden Sand with light tan interior!

Someone should have a closer look on production number plate, engine and body number etc. Both cars are not cheap - it is hard to find out, that your just purchsased car exists a second time!

Thanks

Just found picture of this pale yellow car featuring the production number plate. This is definitely not the original one even missing the body number! Not saying, that this car is not the original one but I simply would be very careful!

Subsequent history is unknown until the 1990s, when it was acquired by a private collector and given a comprehensive restoration, completed in 1999, including a finish in the factory shade of Primrose Yellow.

Lot #261188

This 1963 Jaguar XKE Series I roadster is powered by a 3.8-liter inline-six linked to a four-speed manual transmission and a limited-slip differential. It is finished in Pale Primrose over tan leather, and equipment includes a tan convertible top, enclosed headlights, 15″ wire-spoke wheels, power-assisted disc brakes, triple windshield wipers, an aftermarket radio, and a heater. The owner acquired the car in 2020 and it is now offered on dealer consignment by a BaT Local Partner in Mississippi with a Washington title.

The Series I E-Types were equipped with covered headlights and taillights mounted above the chrome rear bumpers. This example was repainted in its current shade of Pale Primrose under previous ownership, and the tan convertible top was replaced. Additional equipment includes a louvered clamshell hood, wraparound chrome bumpers, triple windshield wipers, and dual exhaust outlets.

The 15″ wire-spoke wheels are secured by two-eared knock-offs and are mounted with 185-section Sprint GT tires. Braking is provided by power-assisted four-wheel discs with inboard-mounted rear rotors. The car features independent front suspension with semi-trailing wishbones, torsion bars, telescopic shock absorbers, and an anti-roll bar, while the independent rear suspension utilizes lower transverse tubular links, radius rods, twin coil springs, and telescopic shock absorbers.

The cabin features bucket seats that were reupholstered in tan leather under previous ownership, along with color-coordinated door panels and carpets. Interior appointments include black vinyl dash trim, a sliding rearview mirror, an aftermarket radio, and a heater.

The wood-rimmed steering wheel frames Smiths instrumentation consisting of a 160-mph speedometer and a 6k-rpm tachometer. Auxiliary gauges for coolant temperature, oil pressure, fuel level, and amperage are located in the center of the dashboard. The five-digit odometer shows 75k miles. True mileage is unknown.

The 3.8-liter inline-six features triple SU carburetors and was factory rated at 265 horsepower and 260 lb-ft of torque.

The cylinder head stamp reads RA2679-9. It matches the numbers on the block and the chassis plate.

Power is routed to the rear wheels through a Moss four-speed manual transmission and a limited-slip differential.
