This 1962 Jaguar XKE is a left-hand-drive, flat-floor, welded-louver Series I roadster that was completed on November 6, 1961. The car was refurbished in the early 2000s by Classic Showcase.The car is finished in gold with a tan soft top over a brown leather interior, and power comes from a numbers-matching 3.8L inline-six that is fed by triple SU carburetors and paired with a four-speed manual transmission.
The 3.8-liter inline-six features triple SU HD8 carburetors and was factory rated at 265 horsepower.
A carburetor adjustment was performed in preparation for sale.
Cylinder head stamping R2541–9 matches the engine block stamping, chassis tag, and the included Jaguar Daimler Heritage Trust certificate.
Power is sent to the rear wheels via a Moss four-speed manual gearbox.
Delivered from the factory in Opalescent Bronze, the car received bodywork and a repaint in its current gold by Classic Showcase approximately two decades ago.
Features include split chrome bumpers, welded hood louvers, and glass headlight covers.
Chrome knock-off 15″ wire wheels with two-eared spinners are mounted with Dunlop SP Sport radial tires, with a matching spare wheel stored under the trunk floor.
Braking is handled by four-wheel discs with inboard rotors at the rear.
The cabin features low-back seats trimmed in brown leather upholstery that extends to the door panels, sills, and sides of the console.
Tan carpeting is contrasted by a black dashboard, and the textured aluminum center console trim extends to the switchgear panel on the dashboard.
The wood-rimmed steering wheel sits ahead of factory Smiths instrumentation that includes a 160-mph speedometer and a 6k-rpm tachometer with an inset clock.
Just over 500 miles are shown on the five-digit odometer.
Total mileage is unknown.
