This 1965 Jaguar XKE Series I 4.2 Roadster comes with a rich history and impressive refurbishment completed in the mid-1990s. This classic Jaguar, finished in dark green over black leather upholstery, captures the elegance and performance of British motoring. Under the hood, it houses a 4.2L twin-cam inline-six engine paired with a four-speed manual transmission, delivering smooth power through its triple SU carburetors.
Refined with attention to detail, the exterior features a black soft top, chrome-finished 15" wire wheels, and a wood-rimmed steering wheel. The car was meticulously stripped to bare metal, rotisserie-restored, and repainted in its current shade of dark green in the early '90s. The restoration included rust repairs and a full mechanical overhaul. It rides on Michelin Defender tires, with ball joints, tie rod boots, and suspension components refreshed in recent years.
Inside, the cabin reflects classic luxury with black leather bucket seats, a wood shift knob, and rubber floor mats. The 160-mph speedometer, tachometer with a 5k-rpm redline, and auxiliary gauges provide a vintage driving experience. Key updates include a reupholstered gear lever housing, a radio blanking plate, and various electrical and mechanical improvements.
The engine has been upgraded with Isky camshafts and features a Pertronix electronic ignition. A rebuilt distributor, new fuel tank, alternator rebuild, and a tune-up have been completed in recent years, ensuring this Jaguar is ready for the road. The clutch assembly, flywheel, and master cylinder have also been replaced for improved reliability.
