1962 Jaguar XKE Series 1 3.8  Roadster

Details

A Concours Level Vehicle

Our 1962 XKE is a superb example. Our Beautiful E-Type is a striking and desirable vehicle that has California black plates. This is one of the finest examples in the world. 

Every component has been rebuilt or replaced in this Concours show car.  No expense was spared in this correct and proper restoration.  The craftsmanship is superb as well as the fit.  Perfection was our goal in restoring this original numbers matching e-type roadster. This vehicle is particularly desirable due to its early XKE flat floor with welded louvered bonnet. It is a California black plate original car.
