Let Me Be Your: 1965 Jaguar XK-E 4.2-Litre Series I Roadster

Flexible and quiet, comfortable and reliable, considered by many to be one of the sexiest cars ever made. Designed by Malcolm Sayer, an aerodynamicist known for his dedication to elegant shapes of motor cars.

This particular car was supplied in right-hand drive configuration, then finished in Carmen Red livery and black interior. Restored completely in 1979. Allen Hudson of Croydon, Surrey was this beauty’s first owner. Bought by Elton in 1987 and, surprisingly, rarely used. Elton himself often referred to this one as ‘OK Elton’ because of its registration (as seen in the pictures - ‘OKE 1’.) Sold by Elton in 2001 for £ 82, 140. Her current owner describes her condition as generally good and keeps her in a dehumidified garage (to prevent mold that could, otherwise, cause rusting and structural wood rot.)
