1971 Jaguar XKE seriesIII V-12 2+2, Automatic transmission. 65,100 miles. All numbers match. This is the 318th V-12 car built,has the 9-1 compreesion engine and fiberglass radiator shroud. Car was sold new in Southern California and spent most all of it's milage in the south. Records show only a couple of thousand miles in the past 10+ years. The car was stored inside as evident by its condition. The condition of this car is very good for a 41 year old car, especially an E-type. All metal is very solid and original with the exception of surface rust under the rear bumper as seen in the photo. The car was re-sprayed red over the original silver/gray at some point, the car deserves a new high quality paint job. The interior is very presentable and shows typical ware, although it is in much better condition than most . The headliner has been replaced but the sunvisors and perimeter trim around the headliner needs replacement. Carpets are in good condition, the rear compartment looks good, no cracks in the steering wheel. All the glass appears to be original and has no cracks. Original Becker radio does not work at this time. I have not looked into fixing it, ?? The air conditioning work fine and blows cold air as it should. The power steering pump leaks fluid and needs attention. The chrome work is in very good condition as well as the chrome wire wheels with original equipment Dunlop SP sport tires, the tires have excellent tread but I would not recommend extended driving because of their age--the tires will be a great asset for showing the car. Original jack w/storage bag, spare tire as shown including original spec Dunlop. This car is ready to drive- I have performed the following services: *New ignition coil *All cooling hoses replaced *Cooling system flush *Fuel tank flush *Transmission flush *Engine oil and filter When I purchased this car I intended to keep it and drive it occasionally, I looked a long time to find a car as solid as this one is and original as this one is. The rockers, door sills, under bonnet area, spare tire well , floor pans, etc, are very solid and still look as they did when the car was built.The only rust is in the back as previously mentioned. My personal situation has changed and I am now selling some of my cars, property,etc. I regret selling this car but do so with a NO RESERVE listing. I am offering the car locally and may sell it before the end of the auction. If you are in the market for a appreciating E-type, you will want to check this one out. I will answer any questions the best I can. You can e-mail me and I will get back as soon as I can. I will be happy to talk on the phone, just e-mail me a phone number.
