Up for auction is a very clean XKE with a 4.2 motor and 4 speed manual transmission. The car is garage kept, well maintained and driven almost weekly. The owner purchased the car 7 years ago with 18,595 miles documented on the title. The car now has 24,892 miles on the odometer. The owner spent thousands of dollars just on re-chroming parts. This car was painted just over 2 years ago at a cost of approx $5,500. I took a close-up picture of a paint imperfection near the passenger-side windshield wiper. Otherwise, the paint job is great! The only known wreck was a light rear end collision. The owner waited 6 months for original parts to be found and flown from England to make proper repairs. A new convertible top was purchased in 2008. The walnut steering, red leather seats, door panels, carpet, dash and gauges are all in excellant shape. The motor runs great and the transmission shifts fine. The owner said that the engine and transmission are original. The numbers on the engine block are 7R114829. Header, point & condenser, ignition coil, switches, radiator, both cooling fans and miscellaneous other parts were also replaced in Dec 2008. This is the second car I have auctioned from this owner's collection. The first was an Austin Healey...its buyer was extremely pleased. This car is charming...receives attention...and definately is eye catching! FYI: Pictures of the trunk area and under carriage have been added. Both areas appear solid. During the previous auction there was a copy auction with the same pictures and several email scams followed the auction. For this reason, I wanted to make a few things clear. I do not make second chance offers. I do not initiate any contact with bidders during or after the auction. If you are interested in the car, bid on the car or contact me before the auction ends to exchange contact information. If you have any question on the car email me through Ebay or call me at (850) 934-0861. Thanks for looking!
