Seller's description:
With an older restoration and a folder full of service receipts, it's Jaguar Heritage Trust certificate, this car runs perfectly, and looks awesome! An honest, original, driver's car!
Exterior
Primrose, (pale yellow), is the hue on the body Paint on this car is presenting nicely but upon closer inspection shows surface rusted chip offs, rust bubbling, inclusions, along with cracks and a few minor runs in the finish. Chrome and badging as well as trim is all very nice but does have some slight haziness to the chrome. The black canvas convertible top shows some color fading and a few minor tears on the passenger side and presents with a clear plastic window. This top is manually operated and can be raised or lowered with one person. Rounding out the exterior are lightly patinaed chrome wire knock off wheels wrapped in Pirelli 205/70R15 blackwall rubber.
Interior
Yards of black leather cover the low back bomber style bucket seats, door panels, and dash top, and it's all very nice. The dash is peppered with numerous Smiths gauges, and a full lineup of toggle switches. An original wood steering wheel fronts the dash, and the factory radio has been replaced with a modern Alpine AM/FM/CD unit. Black carpet in very nice condition is covering the floor and small rear stowage area. The trunk is nearly perfect and includes a tonneau cover which is original to this car.
Drivetrain
A flip forward of the bonnet reveals some of true British handiwork in the form of a 4.2 liter DOHC Inline 6-cylinder, complete with 3 2-barrel SU carburetors. Have no fear as the original intake manifold and Stromberg carbs are included with the purchase. The original 4-speed manual transmission is attached and sends power to a 3.54 geared rear axle. A fine patina covers the engine, its bay and the underside of the bonnet, otherwise all is looking good.
Undercarriage
All clean with a veritable sea of black rustproofing and undercoating for the bottom side. We see an independent torsion bar front suspension working with a 4 coilover shocks on the independent rear set up. Disc brakes now on all 4 corners and a stainless-steel dual exhaust system handles the exhale with ease. No structural problems, and a very sturdy and clean frame.
Drive-Ability
As expected, because it has been well maintained and fully documented, this car started and ran flawlessly. It had a nice throaty exhaust sound, and all the controls worked. Typical of a Jaguar, the power comes with added safety in the form of bias free disc brakes all around. Nice driver and fantastic handling.
A beautiful example indeed, all wrapped up in Primrose paint and black leather which retains their luster. A patina'd engine bay, with added power, great suspension, and 4-wheel disc brakes. A nice find if you are in the market for some shag-a-licious Jaguar iconic British design prior to the rubber bumper era.

Lot #203825
This 1969 Jaguar XKE Series II roadster was acquired by the current owner in 1976, and it is finished in Pale Primrose over black leather. The car is powered by a 4.2-liter inline-six linked with a four-speed manual transmission and a limited-slip differential, and equipment includes a black soft top, a louvered clamshell hood, four-wheel disc brakes, 15″ wire wheels, a wood-rimmed steering wheel, an Alpine CD stereo, and a heater. This XKE roadster is now offered on dealer consignment with a Jaguar Heritage Trust Certificate, service records, and a Pennsylvania title.
The car came finished from the factory in Pale Primrose and was repainted in 2015, while a replacement black soft top and seals were installed in 2009. 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 wiper motor was replaced in 2018. The seller notes that the paint and chrome show signs of age.
The 15″ wire wheels are secured by two-eared knock-offs and were mounted with 205/70 Pirelli P4 tires in 2022. Braking is provided by four-wheel discs with inboard-mounted rear rotors. The rear calipers, pads, and hoses were replaced in 2021 and replacement emergency brake pads were also installed.
The cabin features bucket seats upholstered in black leather along with a color-coordinated center console, door panels, and carpets. The door panels and center console were re-covered in leather and replacement carpets were installed in 2021. Interior appointments include an Alpine CD stereo with Bluetooth, a locking glovebox, and a heater.
The wood-rimmed 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 speedometer was repaired in 2011, and the five-digit odometer shows 64k miles, approximately 3,100 of which were added under current ownership.
The 4.2-liter inline-six was factory equipped with dual Zenith-Stromberg carburetors and rated at 246 horsepower and 263 lb-ft of torque when new. The engine was rebuilt in 2009 and the fuel tank cleaned and re-coated in 2012. Pertronix electronic ignition and triple SU carburetors have been installed.
Engine stamping 7R3050 and correspons number is listed on the Jaguar Heritage Trust certificate as well as the chassis plate.
Power is routed to the rear wheels through a four-speed manual transmission and a limited-slip differential. The clutch was replaced in 2009 and a replacement clutch slave cylinder installed in 2021. The stainless-steel exhaust system incorporates XKs Unlimited mufflers. Replacement floors were installed in 2010.
The Jaguar Heritage Trust Production Record Trace Certificate shows body and drivetrain numbers, factory colors, and a build date of January 15, 1969.
The Pennsylvania title carries an “Out of State Vehicle” notation.
