This beautifully presented 1970 Jaguar XKE 2+2 Coupe offers a compelling blend of refined originality, long-term ownership, and documented restoration work. Finished in its elegant factory color of Silver Blue—a timeless shade that highlights the E-Type’s iconic curves—this example has been in the care of its current owner since 1995, reflecting nearly three decades of consistent stewardship.
A comprehensive restoration was initiated in 1996 and completed in 2019, culminating in a beautifully finished example that has seen only a few thousand miles of use since completion. The quality of the work is immediately evident: the paint retains impressive depth and gloss, and the 4.2-liter inline-six runs strong and smoothly, delivering the torque-rich, beautifully balanced performance that defines the E-Type driving experience.
The interior features Cinnamon Connolly leather upholstery, known for its supple, glove-soft feel. The cabin presents cleanly and warmly, with only minor trim imperfections noted in the gallery. The chrome and exterior brightwork are in nice condition, the glass is clear, and the lenses complement the car’s well-preserved appearance.
Recent mechanical attention includes a new starter and refreshed power steering components, supporting reliable operation and easy drivability. The odometer currently shows 29,000 miles, though true mileage is unknown.
