No Reserve: 37-Years-Owned 1969 Jaguar XKE Series II Roadster Project

This 1969 Jaguar XKE Series II roadster is a non-running project that was acquired by the seller’s father in 1987. The car is finished in maroon over beige leather upholstery, and it retains a 4.2-liter inline-six mated to a four-speed manual transmission. Additional equipment includes a black soft top, 15″ wire wheels, four-wheel disc brakes, dual Zenith-Stromberg carburetors, a wood-rimmed steering wheel, and an aftermarket radio. The car will require mechanical sorting and corrosion repairs before it can be driven. This XKE Roadster is now offered at no reserve by the seller on behalf of the current owner with a clean Illinois title in the owner’s name.
