Condition
#3 Good
Runs and drives well. Flaws not noticeable to passersby. Most common condition.
Paint shows swirl marks all over but no blemishes. Brightwork is shiny but lightly scratched. Engine bay is dirty with rusted bolts and hose clamps. Light corrosion on aluminum parts. Some incorrect Phillips head screws used where bolts should be. Hoses look good, but the wires are frayed. Interior is unrestored, with the seats cracked and peeling at places. Dash is peeling back on the edges. Repainted, but otherwise a very much used and unrestored Series III 2+2.
Market commentary
Appropriately discounted for its automatic and sold for a price corresponding to its condition, it's nevertheless something of a leap of faith to buy a 12-cylinder car without any service history represented. It was sold here in 2010 for $37,630. The XKE 2+2 is an interesting case that was successful when new (outselling the fixed head coupe) but is largely dismissed by collectors who value the lines of the OTS and FHC more than the practicality of the 2+2.
