This is a 1968 Jaguar XKE S 1.5 FHC with the triple SU carburetors. I've been working on this for over the last 8 years but I am unable to finish her because I will be moving and do not have room for her at my new place. I had picked this car up back in 1984. I had replaced the engine with another 4.2 from another E-Type that I had rebuilt back then. I drove her as a weekend vehicle up until I decided to take her apart and make her nice and tight again. Here's a list of parts I've replaced: New front subframe New Floor pans for drivers and passenger side New sills left and right side New floor pan for spare tire/gas tank area All new rear springs and shocks Rebuilt front and rear calipers. Rear calipers have new sleeves New brake pads Rebuilt brake servo. New clutch, pressure plate, TO bearing Rebuilt slave cylinder Rebuilt carbs EZ cool insulation New front wiring harness Rebuilt alternator Upgraded all relays New starter New battery New headliner New heater valve New water and vacuum pipes behind firewall. Heater core flushed and repaired. New water pump All new water and vacuum hoses. New headers and exhaust system Custom fit car cover. I had to send the makers the year, make and serial number of this vehicle for them to make it. Fits like a glove. I've gotten her back on the road again and she runs smoothly and shifts easily. There is a valve tap coming from cylinder 1 intake. Handling is nice and tight. As I said before, I've run out of time to finish her off. Here's the list of things that she still needs: Missing interior door panels, upper chrome trim for right door panel, Visors need replacing AC unit and compressor and hoses (this came originally equipped with AC but the interior unit had distorted and cracked and is not repairable) 2 center vent receptacles, under dash panels, right chrome trim under dash missing, pipe from engine breather to air box missing, left interior light switch missing. re-upholster drivers and passenger seat center console box lid needs upholstered. Needs sound system. Interior dome light inop Horn switch and headlight flasher switch inop. (Turn signals and hazards DO work) Dip switch inop. (Headlamps and tail lamps DO work) Clock inop. Wipers not hooked up, motor works. Heater not hooked up, heater motor works. Paint. Included are a couple of boxes of items I have not yet put back on the car. Some are spares including an XJ6 electronic distributor and module. Please check the pics to see what all is included. Payment via cash in person, cashier’s check, or wire transfer only. Any shipping arrangements and costs are the responsibility of the buyer. Seller will work with buyer to coordinate pickup.
