SPECIAL BUILDS:
1963 JAGUAR XKE

This spectacular, performance-minded 1963 Jaguar E-Type Fixed Head Coupe was originally restored and built by our team at Classic Showcase over 14 years ago and was recently bought by a collector. The performance Coupe has been shown in many concours events and driven in several rallies over the years and had been kept in climate control storage here at Classic Showcase.

CHASSIS No. 888691

We were excited to get this highly unique Coupe to a new home, where it is sure to be enjoyed by its new collector client. The new owner wanted to make some adjustments to the Jaguar, so it would better meet his vision and our team was happy oblige. Tom of Classic Showcase and the owner met at our facility and discussed his vision with the car and started the process by generating a build sheet of desired enhancements that Tom and the team were happy to oblige!
