#3 Good

Sold new in Canada and originally finished in blue over blue. Restored in the 1990s. Replacement engine. Represented with new exhaust, wheels and tires in 2023. Older paint and chrome with some minor blemishes on the grille. The fender trim pieces are sticking up slightly at the front on each side. Clean wheels and tires. Lightly worn seats and switches. A bit scruffy underneath but no major signs of trouble visible.
Market commentary
Jaguar values, even for the legendary E-Type, have been rather soft over the past year. This result doesn't show that trend reversing. The same car was a $70,000 no-sale on Bring a Trailer last July, but it was a no reserve lot in Scottsdale so the seller had to take it. It's a surprisingly low number for a flawed but pretty good example. For XKE owners, this probably doesn't look good. However, for people who have always dreamed of owning an E but have long since been priced out of them, this might be encouraging.
