Sellers description:

McKinney, Texas

This 1971 Jaguar XK-E Fixed Head Coupe Series II was restored about eight years ago by its previous owner of twenty years. During the restoration, this car was gone through both mechanically and cosmetically, including new paint, new chrome and has less than 10k miles on the rebuilt engine. The car drives and shifts well according to the seller, and modifications are limited to interior sound deadening and a removed A/C compressor.

This Series II XK-E is very clean inside and out, and retains its original trim and wire wheels. A matching wire spare wheel is included, and tires appear to be mismatched front to rear. The white paintwork appears to be of a high quality and is the car's original color.

Chrome was redone at the time of restoration eight years ago, and the seller has provided several photos detailing the quality of the finish which can be viewed in the gallery.

The car's interior was largely redone during the restoration, though the bucket seats retain their original leather upholstery. Trim remains complete and in good condition, though two small holes can be seen in the glovebox door. While this car was equipped with air conditioning, the compressor has been removed and is included in the sale.

During the restoration Eastwood sound deadening material was added to the car's floors and tunnel.

The rear cargo area appears unused since the interior was refinished, with excellent black upholstered surfaces.

The engine is the original 4.2l XK I6 (number 7R-18973-9), and has been driven about 10k miles since rebuild. Underhood equipment remains largely standard, including the original dual-Stromberg carburetors, airbox, fan shroud and other fittings. This example is fitted with power steering. Records for the car are not included, though the seller has applied for a Jaguar Heritage Certificate.

The car is said to shift and brake well, and is said to be very smooth and quiet on the road.

This 1971 Jaguar XKE Series II coupe was restored around 2008 and then listed on BaT in May 2016. It was acquired by the current owner later that year. Power is provided by a 4.2-liter inline-six, and the car is finished in Cream over black leather upholstery. Equipment includes dual Zenith-Stromberg carburetors, a louvered clamshell hood, 15″ wire wheels, four-wheel disc brakes, and a heater. Work performed under current ownership included overhauling the cooling system, rebuilding the speedometer, reupholstering the seats, installing a Pertronix ignition unit, and installing a five-speed manual gearbox. This XKE Series II coupe is now offered on dealer consignment by a BaT Local Partner with a Jaguar Heritage Trust Certificate, service records, the removed air conditioning compressor, and a Colorado title.

The car was finished from the factory in Cream and was repainted during previous ownership. Features include a louvered clamshell hood, sealed-beam open headlights, a driver-side mirror, wraparound chrome bumpers, bright trim, and dual exhaust outlets.

The 15″ wire wheels are secured by safety nuts and are mounted with 185-section Michelin XVS tires. The car is equipped with power steering, and braking is provided by four-wheel discs with inboard-mounted rear rotors. The brake master cylinder, brake booster, tie rod boots, and ball joint boots were replaced under current ownership.

The seats were installed during current ownership and are upholstered in black leather. Interior appointments include a color-coordinated center console, door panels, and carpets as well as a locking glovebox and a heater. Sound-deadening material was added to the floors and transmission tunnel under previous ownership. The car was previously equipped with air conditioning, but the compressor has been removed.

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 speedometer was rebuilt in 2021. The five-digit odometer shows 48k miles, approximately 3k of which were added under current ownership. Total mileage is unknown.

The 4.2-liter inline-six was factory equipped with dual Zenith-Stromberg carburetors and was rated at 245 horsepower and 263 lb-ft of torque when new. The engine block stamping is shown in the gallery and reads 7R 12973-9, which matches the engine number noted on the Jaguar Heritage Trust Certificate. Work under current ownership included installing a Pertronix ignition system and an aluminum radiator as well as replacing the distributor and fitting upgraded cooling fan brackets and motors.

The five-speed manual transmission and aluminum flywheel were installed in 2018. The clutch and driveshaft U-joints were also replaced at that time.

The Colorado title lists the odometer reading as “0”.
