Featured on AutoHunter is this one-owner 1969 Jaguar XKE 4.2 Coupe. In case you were curious, this was marketed as the XKE in the states but elsewhere it was marketed as the Jaguar E-Type Fixed Head Coupé. Power comes from a DOHC 4.2-liter inline-six backed by a four-speed manual. Features include very low mileage (17,847), air conditioning, factory Phillips AM/FM radio, and more. Painted Opalescent Silver Blue over a black leather interior, this special Series 2 comes from the selling dealer with original owner-dealer correspondence, service records since new, Jaguar-Daimler Heritage Trust Certificate, and clear title.
The Opalescent Silver Blue hue nicely presents the classic Jaguar form. Other exterior features include a power antenna, chrome driver-side mirror, hood vents, bumper guards front and rear, chrome headlight bucket surrounds, and dual-exhaust outlets.
The 15-inch wire wheels are wrapped in Dunlop 185 radials.
The black leather interior features two buckets up front and two seats in the rear, though don’t confuse this Jag as a 2+2 model, which featured a longer wheelbase. A center console houses the transmission shifter. Notable options include air conditioning and the original Phillips AM/FM radio.
Instrumentation included a 160-mph speedometer, 6,000-rpm tachometer, and gauges for the oil pressure, coolant temperature, battery, and fuel. The odometer shows 17,847 miles, which is reportedly true.
Powering this XKE is a DOHC 4.2-liter inline-six that was rated at 265 horsepower when new. Fuel and air are fed through twin Zenith-Stromberg carburetors. Power is harnessed via a four-speed manual.
The undercarriage features a front and rear independent suspension, plus four-wheel disc brakes and a dual exhaust system.
The auction for this 17,847-mile Jaguar XKE 4.2 Coupe will end Tuesday, November 19, 2024 at 12:00 p.m. (MST)
