Equipment
Chrome centerlock wire wheels, woodrim steering wheel, hardtop, 3.07 differential, modern radiator and electric fan, documented with JDHT Certificate and original sales invoice.
Condition
Engine bay is very clean and restored. Cylinder head is original to the car, but the block is not. Headlight bezels don't quite fit flush. Restored in factory livery in 2015. Excellent paint. Very good chrome. Excellent top. Interior looks new. Delivered new to Diana Ross (yes, that Diana Ross), as indicated by a small plaque on the transmission tunnel and documents that come with the car.
Market commentary
It's hard to keep track of the rapid escalation of XKE prices, particularly for the highly desirable Series I with 4.2 liter engine and synchromesh transmission. Even taking the replacement block into account this is still a very reasonable price.
