49-Years-Owned 1969 Jaguar XKE Roadster
This 1969 Jaguar XKE is a Series II roadster that was purchased by the seller in 1973 and underwent a refurbishment in 2007 that included a repaint, an interior retrim, and replacement of the clutch and black soft top.
The car is finished in yellow over black leather and powered by a 4.2-liter inline-six paired with a four-speed manual transmission. Equipment includes 15” knock-off wire wheels, four-wheel disc brakes, a louvered hood, a luggage rack, and an AM/FM cassette stereo. This XKE is now offered in Canada with a factory workshop manual, a tool roll, refurbishment records, and British Columbia registration listing the car as a 1970 model.
The body was stripped and repainted in yellow in 2007, and the black soft top was replaced. Exterior features include a louvered hood, a driver-side mirror, a luggage rack, a black soft top boot, dual exhaust outlets, and chrome bumpers with overriders.

Chrome 15” knock-off wire wheels are mounted with 195/65 Falken Ziex ZE512 tires. Stopping power is provided by four-wheel disc brakes with inboard-mounted units out back.
The cabin was reupholstered in 2006 and features bucket seats trimmed in black leather with perforated inserts as well as color-coordinated door panels and carpets. Additional appointments include a Pioneer AM/FM cassette stereo and a lockable glove compartment.
The three-spoke steering wheel wears an aftermarket cover and fronts Smiths instrumentation consisting of a replacement 160-mph speedometer and a tachometer with a 5k-rpm redline, while a clock and auxiliary gauges are mounted in the center of the dash. The five-digit odometer shows 13k miles. Approximately 45k miles are said to have been added under current ownership, and true mileage is unknown.
The 4.2-liter inline-six is equipped with dual Zenith-Stromberg carburetors and is said to have been rebuilt under current ownership. An oil change was last performed in 2020.
