Description:

This 1971 Jaguar XKE Coupe is a #1 showcar that has scored between 99.59 and 99.93 on its last five concourse judgings by the Jaguar Clubs of North America, Inc. As close to perfect as a car gets, this level of restoration could not be professionally replicated for less than $100,000. If you are looking for a true #1 car to add to your collection, this is it.

Considered by many to be a work of art, the Jaguar Coupe has perfect design symmetry. This particular Coupe has been refinished to a level far above that when it left the factory enroute to the United States. To achieve its consistently high JCNA ratings, thousands of hours and many thousands of dollars were invested by the owner in restoring this fine sports car.

This Coupe is presented in Regency Red, with a clarity that enables the viewer to look into what appears to be a bottomless finish. The chrome and trim are similarly perfect, gleaming as if competing with the perfection of the paint. The fit and gaps of the doors, rear hatch, and bonnet are likewise correct. It is easy to see why those who judge Concours d’ Elegance events have awarded this car “first place”.

Slipping into the interior, the first thing one notices is the luxuriousness of the Biscuit leather seats. The matching headliner and carpeting are similarly in like-new condition. The instruments, gauges and rocker switches all look as new.

The mechanicals on this Coupe are likewise in concours condition. The six cylinder engine sits in a pristine engine bay as it and the four speed transmission await the command to come to life and put this car through its paces. As with a car of this caliber, reliability and performance are not in question.

If one were able to turn back the clock to a Jaguar new car showroom in 1971, there would not be a car as nice as this available to purchase. The untold hours of fitting, preparation and final finishes were simply not factory options! This 1971 XKE Coupe truly advances the Jaguar marque rather than simply replicating it. This eye-catching motorcar belongs in the collection of someone who truly wants and values the best.
