Crevier Classic Cars is pleased to offer this 1963 Jaguar XKE Series 1 OTS Roadster. This example was manufactured in March of 1963 and delivered to a California dealer. It was purchased by its first owner and then sold to its second owner in 1965. The second owner lovingly cared for the car, always garaged and covered the car and sparingly used it. He owned the car until February of 2015, a period of 55 years of ownership ! The car still retains its black plates that were issued to it when new. The car was the recipient of a ground up restoration with an emphasis on the use of original components. The sheet metal, glass, bright work, fasteners etc. are original. The car also retains its original compliment of tools along with its jack and manuals. The mileage is original. During the 1st and 2nd quarters of 2015, the car received a re-fresh of the comprehensive restoration with an emphasis on the engine compartment and was photo documented. At the Jaguar Club of North America (JCNA) Los Angeles Concours in 2015, the car was awarded 1st in class with a score of 99.98 out of 100. The car was then shown at the San Marino Motor Classic where it again won 1st in class.
It drives as wonderful as it looks and with its fascinating history is a great example to own. Please contact us at 714-426-0238 or mark@crevierclassiccars.com with any questions.
