1966 Jaguar XKE 4.2 CoupeIf you're looking for a great investment on an original, great looking, mechanically excellent (though not concourse perfect) daily driver that turns heads at all car shows... you won't find a better car for the money. This car is the fastest XKE I've ever driven. I've spent over $45,000 (includes price of car), and two years restoring this car to cosmetic driver condition including (receipts supplied): The leather interior is new, the chrome is mostly new, the wire wheels and tires are new, the engine compartment and components are neatly detailed, polished, and the paint is a beautiful burgundy, close to original but prettier although not perfect. These series 1 4.2 XKE's are rapidly gaining value, and are much better drivers than the roadsters, (my opinion). The 4.2 has many improved features over the early 3.8 XKE's, making it a much better, safer, more comfortable, easier driver, and more reliable than the earlier 3.8. (Not quite as fast, but who drives 155 mph?) Some of these features include improved synchromesh gearbox, two fans to prevent overheating, much better more comfortable seats, better brakes, negative earth alternator, and vastly improved comfortable seats. 85,000 miles.
