This 1969 XKE starts right up and runs good. The 4 speed transmission shifts smooth and doesn' t seem to have any issues. Mechanically the Jag drives good. It doesn' t want to idle at 800-900 RPM as it should but idles around 1200 RPM. You could drive it as you restore it. Needs a lot of interior work including seat covers, headliner and carpet. The willow green paint is a good looking job but not show quality (it is still a presentable looking car). The fit on the doors and bonnet look good with no apparent misfit.
