1965 Jaguar XKE Series 1 4.2 Coupe 5-Speed Race Car

This 1965 Jaguar XKE Series I coupe was utilized in various HSR and VARA events after it was modified for racing under previous ownership in 2014. The modified 4.2-liter inline-six is equipped with triple SU carburetors and is linked to a five-speed manual transmission and a limited-slip differential. Finished in Carmen Red, the car rides on 15″ American Racing wheels and additional build details include a fiberglass hood with integrated rally lights, polycarbonate windows, a roll cage, a fire suppression system, a 22-gallon fuel cell, and GAZ adjustable shocks. The cockpit houses Ultra Shield aluminum racing seats with harnesses, a quick-release Grant steering wheel, and AutoMeter gauges. This XKE Series I coupe was acquired by the current owner on BaT in June 2025 and is now offered on dealer consignment by a BaT Local Partner at no reserve with service records, spare parts, and a Montana title in the name of the owner’s LLC. During the aforementioned build, the car was fitted with a fiberglass rally-style hood with integrated driving lights, and the bumper mounts were removed before a repaint in Carmen Red. Additional details include mud flaps, polycarbonate rear and side windows, and switches for battery cut-off and fire suppressant mounted ahead of the windshield.
