Auction description:
1974 Jaguar XKE Roadster
VIN UE1S23486
Auction Auburn Spring April 25, 2026
Numbers-matching example per its JDHT Certificate
Acquired by The Dane Miller Estate Collection at the 1998 Auburn Auction & Show
Finished in its original colors of Pale Primrose Yellow over a black trimmed cabin
A sporting 12-cylinder manual British automobile with a removable hardtop
A proper and sporting example of the beloved British marque, this 1974 Jaguar XKE was originally manufactured on October 4, 1973, and then dispatched from the factory to its original distributor, British Leyland, New York, USA on January 7, 1974. According to the accompanying Jaguar Daimler Heritage Trust Certificate, this XKE was delivered new in Pale Primrose Yellow over a black trimmed cabin, the same lovely color scheme it wears today.
Ownership history starts in the 1980s with Joan Stein of River Hills, Wisconsin who would sell this XKE to William Dale of Wisconsin in the late 1990s. Mr. Dale would then sell this Jaguar to The Dane Miller Estate Collection in 1998 via The Annual Auburn Auction & Show, which is documented by the original 1998 bill of sale. Since then, it has resided in their two-story climate-controlled car collection facility.
The Primrose Yellow body is complemented by proper wire wheels wrapped in Goodyear Eagle GT tires, front and rear bumperettes, dual exhaust pipes, a black soft top, and a color matched removable hardtop. Inside the cockpit, one will find signs of enthusiast enjoyment from The Dane Miller Estate Collection's 27 years of ownership. Under the front bonnet lies a numbers-matching V-12 engine that’s backed by a four-speed manual gearbox. Paired with factory power steering and power brakes, it makes for a luxurious grand tourer.
With the recent marketing campaign efforts by the Jaguar brand, these iconic ‘70s XKE models have gained even more popularity, praised for their sculpted body lines, V-12 performance, and true racing roots heritage. Offered for the first time since 1998, this JDHT verified, Primrose Yellow, 1974 Jaguar would make for a delightful motoring experience with you behind the wheel.
