This Beautiful two owner 1965 Jaguar XKE Series I open two-seater (OTS) in original color scheme Carmen red exterior, black interior/top that was built on July 08, 1965 and dispatched on July 20, 1965 to Jaguar Cars, New York, before being shipped to its original dealer Al Pernett Imported cars on University avenue, Riverside California. The Jaguar was sold to its first owner George Blatchford of Riverside California August 15, 1965. George used his Jaguar as a daily driver for 43 years. During this time, he replaced the engine and cylinder head sourced from another 1965 XKE. George became ill in 2008 and sold his beloved Jaguar to the current owner a United States Marine stationed aboard Marine Corps Base Camp Pendleton, San Diego, CA. Following the seller's acquisition in November 2008 it was driven and taken to shows. In January 2017 the car underwent a three-year restoration process that included a full disassembly. Monocoque body was brought down to bare metal and the engine was painstakingly rebuilt to factory specification. A few tasteful upgrades have been incorporated that look similar to OEM but improve reliability and performance. Rebuilding the original 4.2L inline-six and 4-speed manual transmission, a repaint in the factory Carmen Red, and an interior refresh. Modifications made during the restoration include SNG 4 piston front brakes, SNG electric cooling fan and shroud, stainless steel heater pipes, an adjustable torsion bar bracket, electronic ignition, a high-torque starter.
