This 1970 Jaguar XKE is a Series II roadster that was produced on November 6, 1969, and distributed via British Leyland of Canada. Finished in Ascot Fawn over a beige interior, the car is powered by a 4.2-liter inline-six mated to a four-speed manual transmission and a limited-slip differential. Additional equipment includes dual Zenith-Stromberg carburetors, a black convertible top, 15″ wire wheels, and an aftermarket stereo. The car was acquired by the current owner in 2015, and approximately $20k worth of work performed in 2023 involved replacing the water pump, valve cover gaskets, and clutch slave cylinder. This XKE roadster is now offered on dealer consignment with a Jaguar Heritage Trust certificate, 2023 service records, and a clean Indiana title that lists the vehicle as a 1971 model year.
