1969 JAGUAR XKE ROADSTER #1R7281. (Stock #4016)
In 1961, Jaguar introduced the “E-Type” or “XKE,” as it became commonly known. The car was instantly recognized as one the most handsome sports cars ever built and has been a highly desired item ever since that introduction. The car was available in standard coupe, 2+2 coupe or open roadster form. Our car is one of the most desirable roadster variants. U.S. emission standards started to gradually become stronger in 1968. Our car had a production date of September, 3, 1968, so only had to meet very early standards, enabling it to be built with the desirable 9:1 compression engine. Finished in Signal Red with biscuit leather, matching top and top boot and fitted with original chrome wire wheels, our car has been the subject of a full restoration. The car was treasured in a climate controlled garage in Princeton, NJ before we sold the car for that meticulous owner to a local (Peapack) collector who added it to his magnificent collection, also housed in a climate controlled building, in December, 2014. Driven fewer than 1,000 miles since its total cosmetic and mechanical restoration, the car has remained in spectacular condition and drives as new with its original, numbers-matching twin cam, twin carburetor, 9:1 compression, 6-cylinder engine. The car is accompanied by its Jaguar Heritage Trust Certificate showing it to be a fully numbers-matching car. It is ready to compete in any rallies, Jaguar club shows or events.
