This is an exceptionally well-preserved example of a 1968 XKE with a well-documented history.
Please note: We are representing the family of the gentleman who purchased the car in October of 1998. His purchase was from the second owner in February 1969. The car has been stored and not driven for approximately eight years. The fuel tank was drained and fresh fuel was run through the system (not through the tank) to allow the engine to start and run. When the car was parked, it was in excellent running and driving condition with no known defects. Please keep in mind that because the gas tank will require flushing and cleaning, this work will need to be done before it is driven. Additionally, the car should be given a thorough inspection by a mechanic to ensure road safety and worthiness because of time in storage. The interior rearview mirror glass is cracked and will require replacement. The family has decided to sell the Jaguar "as is".
