This 1961 Jaguar XKE is a Series I flat-floor roadster and is #140 of 385 left-hand-drive examples produced with external bonnet latches before Jaguar revised the model later in the year. Completed on June 23, 1961, the car left the factory finished in Opalescent Gunmetal over red leather and later underwent a color change to its current maroon-over-beige color scheme as part of a refurbishment. Power is provided by a 3.8-liter inline-six equipped with triple SU carburetors, while shifting is through a retrofitted Tremec five-speed manual transmission linked with a limited-slip differential.
