The restoration of this 1969 Jaguar XKE 2+2 is now complete. The car initially came in for us to finish off the restoration, but once we got our hands on it, we quickly discovered many problems, and that it would be best to start over on some aspects of the project. The car received a fully-rebuilt engine and transmission, as well as an overhaul of the cooling system and electric components. The car was completely stripped and repainted in the gorgeous red you see now. All of the brakes and suspension were gone through as well. Just about the only thing we did not need to do on this vehicle was the upholstery. The car now drives just as good as it looks. Please feel free to ask questions and leave comments.

1969 Jaguar XKE 2+2 Restoration
The Aston Martin Feltham Club, http://www.AMFClub.com, has commissioned the manufacture of a few N/A parts. The latest is the small Leveroll brass labels on the knob of the seat adjustment lever. Many British cars used Leveroll seat adjustment mechanisms.
