Older restoration
Bonhams
Auction House
Chassis no. 881576; Engine no. RA69019. Black with black cloth top over red leather. 3781/265hp, 4-speed, chrome wire wheels, bias ply whitewalls, Blaupunkt AM-FM.

Evaluation: Excellent older paint starting to show some age and flaws. Similarly, the chrome is bright but starting to fail on the bumpers. The upholstery is very good with only some scuffing on the driver’s seat back bolster and stretching on the cushion. The tight fitting top doesn’t seal with the door windows and the deck lid is askew. 2008 JCNA National Champion showing its restoration’s age.

Bottom Line: This is clearly an exceptional XKE, but there are too many noted flaws for it to be worth this much. They’re little issues, but collectively they cast a shadow over its preservation and treatment following its initial show-winning tour.
