This auction is for a 1970 Jaguar XKE Series II Roadster

As the only car to adorn the museum of modern art, the XKE is world renown for its timeless beauty, race history pedigree, and breath taking performance.

As one of the most sought after collector sports cars today, XKE’s in excellent shape are now demanding prices reaching into six figures.

The first XKE model, introduced in 1961, was the Series I E-type. The second model, the Series II E-type, featured several improvements over the Series I including, synchronized gear box, more comfortable seats and interior, and a more powerful larger 4.2 liter engine. The Series II is much more affordable than the Series I E-type, but is in line to begin its climb to a higher price. It was recently mentioned by Craig Jackson, of Barrett-Jackson Auctions, as a car that is truly under priced and has great investment potential in the near future.

P FOR AUCTION
is this elegant Series II E-type roadster that not only includes the enhanced features of a typical Series II, but it has also been upgraded with the higher performance Triple SU Carburetor system for added horsepower (costly upgrade) making it extremely fast. This car also has the proper highly desired chrome wire wheels and the factory synchronized 4-speed manual transmission.

Vehicle Condition
This car is beautiful. It has recently gone through a mechanical and cosmetic restoration. The car has a new paint job, including the entire engine bay (bonnet underside, sub-frame and firewall). The chrome, including the wheels, are all original and in great shape. The top frame was restored and a new top was also put on the car. While the engine was out, many new mechanical components were restored or replaced in the engine bay (new fan motors, heater motor, coolant hoses/stainless steel coolant tubes, shocks, belts etc.). The interior is in great condition and mostly original. It includes an upgraded steering wheel, new seat foam, and a few other minor enhancements. The clutch, tires and other items were replaced just prior to the recent restoration project and are all in great condition.

The car is finished in classic Jaguar metal-flake silver, a black interior, and a black convertible top. The body has never been in an accident or driven in a winter environment. The car is originally from California. The engine is the original (matching numbers) engine, and is in excellent condition. The car’s mileage shows 48,000, and there is no reason to believe that this isn’t the actual mileage – the condition of the original interior is a good indication of the mileage.

In summary, the car is an excellent driver and shows very well.

This 1970 Jaguar XKE Series II roadster was acquired by the seller in 2004 and was refurbished between 2013 and 2015, including a repaint, an interior refresh, and rebuilds of the 4.2-liter inline-six and four-speed manual transmission. It is finished in silver over black leather and is equipped with a limited-slip differential, triple SU carburetors, a black canvas soft top, a louvered clamshell hood, four-wheel disc brakes, 15″ wire wheels, Spax gas-adjustable shocks, a wood-rimmed steering wheel, a CD stereo, and a heater. This XKE roadster is now offered with a Jaguar Heritage Trust Certificate, service records, and a clean Minnesota title in the seller’s name.

The car came finished from the factory in silver and was repainted during the aforementioned refurbishment. A replacement black canvas soft top was also installed at that time, and exterior equipment includes sealed-beam open headlights, a driver-side mirror, wraparound chrome bumpers, bright trim, a louvered clamshell hood, and dual exhaust outlets.

The 15″ wire wheels are secured by rounded knock-offs and were mounted with 205/65 Dunlop Signature II tires in 2015. Braking is provided by four-wheel discs with inboard-mounted rear rotors, and the brake master cylinder was replaced in 2025. Spax gas-adjustable shocks have been installed.

The cabin was refreshed in 2013, including reupholstering the seats in black leather and replacing the dash pad, carpets, and interior panels. Interior appointments include a Sony CD stereo, a locking glovebox, and a heater.

The wood-rimmed Nardi steering wheel frames Smiths instrumentation including a 160-mph speedometer and a tachometer with a 5k-rpm redline as well as an analog clock and gauges for voltage, oil pressure, coolant temperature, and fuel level. The five-digit odometer shows 61k miles, which is not considered to be accurate. Approximately 12k miles were added under current ownership, and total mileage is unknown.

The 4.2-liter inline-six was fitted with triple SU carburetors under prior ownership and was rebuilt in 2015. The cylinder head was re-torqued and the valve cover gaskets replaced in 2016.

Engine stamping 7R10871-9 is shown above, and a corresponding number is listed on the Heritage Trust certificate.

Power is routed to the rear wheels through a four-speed manual transmission and a limited-slip differential. The transmission was rebuilt and a replacement clutch installed in 2015. The seller notes that the front crossmember does not have the VIN number stamping and has likely been replaced.

The Jaguar Heritage Trust Certificate lists factory equipment and serial numbers as well as build date of February 10, 1970.
