Vehicle Details
AI Listing Summary
This 1968 Jaguar XKE Series 1.5 4.2 Roadster is a non-running project, purchased by the seller in 1983 and stored since 1998. While the engine was rebuilt in 1997, the car requires significant mechanical and cosmetic attention, including brake and clutch hydraulic system overhauls, fuel system work, and interior repairs, making it a substantial project for a buyer.
Condition
3
The car is a non-running project with significant issues. The left-rear bumper is rusted, the exterior finish and trim show wear and weathering, and the tires exhibit dry rot. The hydraulic cylinders for the brakes require rebuilding, and the clutch cylinder needs rebuilding. The engine has not run since 1998, the fuel tank needs cleaning or replacement, and the carburetors require rebuilding. The interior has torn seat upholstery and a torn shift boot. This indicates substantial reconditioning is needed.
