This 1969 Jaguar XKE Series II roadster was acquired by the current owner in 1995, reportedly from its original owner, and it was refurbished between 2010 and 2012, including a repaint, a reupholstered interior, and replacement of the soft top. It is finished in Pale Primrose 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, air conditioning, a wood-rimmed steering wheel, and a CD stereo. The rear brakes and suspension were refreshed in 2020. This XKE roadster is now offered by the seller on behalf of the current owner with the owner’s manual, service records, a car cover, and a clean Georgia title in the owner’s name.

The car is finished in Pale Primrose and was repainted during the aforementioned refurbishment. A replacement black soft top was installed at that time, and additional equipment includes sealed-beam open headlights, wind wings, wraparound chrome bumpers, bright trim, a louvered clamshell hood, and dual exhaust outlets. An accident in 2003 resulted in repairs of the hood and replacement of the front bumper. Bubbling on the right quarter panel and a rock impact under the driver’s door were repaired in 2020.

The 15″ wire wheels are secured by earless knock-offs and were mounted with 205/70 Michelin Defender tires in 2016. Braking is provided by four-wheel discs with inboard-mounted rear rotors. The rear brake calipers, rotors, and pads were replaced in 2020, at which time GAZ shocks and replacement rear springs, U-joints, radius arm bushings, and subframe mounts were installed.
