This 1967 Jaguar XKE Series 1 Coupe received a full nut and bolt restoration that began in the late 1990s and was completed in the early 2000s. It was a labor of love by its private owner, an automotive industry executive, who consulted with the top Jaguar suppliers in the county and followed the JCNA manual carefully. He purchased the car from a co-worker in the early 1990s and slowly began the process of completely disassembling and cataloging every single piece for restoration. He then mounted the monocoque to a rotisserie and stripped the body to bare metal and performed all necessary repairs in the original style of craftsmanship using lead instead of plastic filler. The car was repainted Carmen Red and all exterior brightwork was restored by Performance Plating. The black leather interior was retrimmed using materials supplied by G.W. Bartlett. All mechanical systems were restored including an engine and gearbox rebuild with machine work and parts being supplied by Straight Six Inc. Since restoration, the car has been driven a few hundred miles per year and serviced as needed.

This is a beautifully restored Jaguar XKE that retains its matching numbers engine and is an excellent driver.
