Equipment
Flat floors, welded louvers, inside bonnet latches, radio delete but still has the antenna in the fender, chrome wire wheels, whitewall tires.
Condition
Beautiful paint and interior, trunk fit not very good. Irregular grille shape, droopy front bumpers. Bonnet strips stuck under headlight covers. Lovely color but the devil is in the details, some of which are very good but others betray a lack of attention during assembly.
Market commentary
Flat Floor XKEs are coveted by collectors despite the shortcomings of their constricted foot wells and uncomfortable seats. They command ever-larger premiums over later more driver-friendly XKEs. This one looks marvelous in Cotswold Blue and even the sometimes garish whitewall tires on chrome wire wheels fit its presentation, factors that were instrumental in the price it brought.
