1969 JAGUAR XKE, S 1.5, FHC, RHD, 4.2L, 4 SPEED,
This is a Home-Market Jag, never made for export. It is Right-Hand Drive (RHD). It was legally imported into Canada in 1982 by a British gentleman who brought it here in a shipping container of household items and registered it with the MTO of our province. (You will see a picture of me and him at his home the day I bought this car)

SPECIAL NOTES:
Engine, Transmission and Rear Differential have never been opened or disassembled. All Serial numbers match. Car was originally Turquoise in colour and painted off-white in the UK. Paint appears to be enamel and has heat and age cracking, some paint is missing. You will see some surface rust but there is not rust through on body. Uni-body shell will have surface rust but no visible rust through.
This car was driven and enjoyed by four keepers. It was not a trailer queen; it was taken out and used, but not abused. No sign of any collisions, willful damage or dangerous driving.
