This
1967 Jaguar XKE Series I 4.2 Roadster is Red with a Black Leather
Interior and Black Stayfast convertible top. This is essentially
a one owner car. The original owner sold it to someone who was purchasing
it as a gift. The recipient preferred a newer car, so the car was
sold to Cooper Classics. We have had the opportunity to speak to
the original owner who exclaimed that it was her "baby"
for 40 years and she wished she had never sold it. She received
it as a gift from her Husband in 1967. He purchased it from the
dealer after the gentleman who originally ordered the car backed
out of the sale. Once we received the car we discovered that there
were some items that needed to be addressed before it met our standards.
We had the car completely stripped and repainted. A complete new
leather interior was installed including new carpeting, panels,
seats, etc. The stayfast convertible top and boot cover are new.
The rest of the car has been sorted including the brightwork with
all new or rechromed items. New chrome wire wheels were installed
as well as new tires. After the significant time and money spent
on the cosmetics the car was taken to an expert Jaguar mechanic
who went through the car completely. His work included tuning the
carbs and installing a new clutch. What we now have to offer is
one of the most desirable classic automobiles today - a 1967 Jaguar
XKE Series I Roadster - in both excellent cosmetic and mechanical
condition. A heritage certificate authenticating the matching numbers
and color combination is included with the sale. |
