Please note that experience shows us that the photobucket of over 100 large pixel pictures posted here are in most cases best viewed and downloaded using the very latest and most updated version of the 'Firefox' browser as some other browsers and especially older browser versions are not capable of accommodating the size of the download. Over the years our clients have overwhelmingly been appreciative of our many unaltered large pixel photos posted in our ads and our feedback has been that it is very rare that a dealer will post all but the most flattering of professionally finished photographs. We prefer to post the many photos taken of the car. in sometimes unflattering but natural sunlight. in order for our prospective buyers to be able to see true and reliable images of the car advertised and that is the reason for some seemingly duplicated shots. We trust you will agree.

West Coast Classics are proud to present an extraordinarily rare and completely rust free 1963 Jaguar E-Type XKE Series 1 Convertible Roadster with an extraordinarily rare original factory hardtop. original soft top with soft top frame and chrome wire wheels! This is a truly marvelous example of a long time southern California owned (most recent owner had the car since 1976!) of this coveted first series of E-Type Jaguars. with the legendary glass covered headlights. small 'mouth' opening at the front. aircraft style toggle switches and rear tail and signal lamps positioned handsomely above the chrome rear bumper! It is also of considerable note that this fine example has been in the same original southern California family ownership for almost 40 years! So here it is. a southern California 1963 Jaguar XKE E-Type Series 1 Roadster which was converted many years ago to a Chevrolet 350 V8 engine and 3 speed automatic transmission with Series II/III seats but still with its four original Jaguar chrome knock off spoked wire wheels and its original spare chrome wire wheel! 
We purchased the car from the wife of only the second southern California owner's. who had owned the car for almost 40 years. with the car having been garage stored for some years since the conversion. We recently serviced the car at our British car Specialists. the renown 'British Car Clinic' of Santa Monica. California. where the car received a new water pump. two new front brake calipers and rotors. a new brake master cylinder and the car was serviced and is now running and driving in time for only its third new owner!

The floor boards and all the typical rust-prone areas are completely solid and rust-free! The car has no signs of any accidents and has a razor straight body. It is a good candidate for a full restoration for the Jaguar enthusiast who may have either a 3. 8 or 4. 2 Series I engine and transmission available or simply a great daily driver for any classic car enthusiast.

This is therefore an extremely rare opportunity for the Jaguar or British classic sports car enthusiast who is looking to buy a very rare and collectible example of an original southern California 1963 Jaguar XKE Series 1 roadster with its highly desirable original factory lightweight hardtop (with original five chrome fasteners. 3 up front and 1 on each side). nbsp; its original factory soft top and frame and 5 chrome knock off wire wheels in completely rust free condition!
