1969 Jaguar E-Type Series II O.T.S.

1969 JAGUAR XKE ROADSTER #1R7281. (Stock #4016) In
1961, Jaguar introduced the “E-Type” or “XKE,” as it became
commonly known. The car was instantly recognized as one the
most handsome sports cars ever built and has been a highly
desired item ever since that introduction. The car was available
in standard coupe, 2+2 coupe or open roadster form. Our car is
one of the most desirable roadster variants. U.S. emission
standards started to gradually become stronger in 1968. Our car
had a production date of September, 3, 1968, so only had to
meet very early standards, enabling it to be built with the
desirable 9:1 compression engine. Finished in Signal Red with
biscuit leather, matching top and top boot and fitted with
original chrome wire wheels, our car has been the subject of a
full restoration. The car was treasured in a climate controlled
garage in Princeton, NJ before we sold the car for that
meticulous owner to a local (Peapack) collector who added it to
his magnificent collection, also housed in a climate controlled
building, in December, 2014. Driven fewer than 1,000 miles
since its total cosmetic and mechanical restoration, the car has
remained in spectacular condition and drives as new with its
original, numbers-matching twin cam, twin carburetor, 9:1
compression, 6-cylinder engine. The car is accompanied by its
Jaguar Heritage Trust Certificate showing it to be a fully
numbers-matching car. It is ready to compete in any rallies,
Jaguar club shows or events. SOLD.
