- convertible 24,000 gasoline automatic
She only has 24,000 original miles. She is burgundy in color with a biscuit interior. She is equipped with an automatic transmission, which i prefer. Let me also say that this isn’t my first xke – far from it. However, i like the xke v-12 for the following reasons; · more reliable· affordable· very smooth to drive· built on the 2+2 chassis, so she has more interior room. I’m 6’3” and i need the room. Again, manually shifting this car would be a challenge.· she still retains the elegant and iconic xke styling i also like unrestored cars. They are only original once. Therefore, i can drive them and not fret the small and occasional blemish. Which isn’t to say that this car isn’t very nice – but she sports mostly original paint (accident free but signs of older paint for sure). My goal, when taking a car to a show, is to enter the “survivor” class. I like to see the original craftsmanship – not a highly restored interpretation. I took a delahaye to pebble beach, in 2012, she too was all original. I also own a 1952 nash healey – again, all original. I used to own a restoration shop – ironically enough, and did restore cars, however, primarily to sell. As mentioned, this xke is all original with only 24,000 miles. She is stored in my showroom. I took my daughter with me – and she commented on how smooth the car was. In fact, everyone that drives in this car says the same. There really is no smoother engine than the v12. I also like the 1972 because as it is devoid of the large bumper overrides (5 mph bumpers) that were mandated by uncle sam from 1974 on. They were a bit chunky. The 1972 avoided them. My xke also has the optional grill override – which protects the grill when the bonnet is open. I think this is a blue chip investment. She will continue to appreciate, no doubt. She has good power too. A pleasure on the highway and around town. I’ve had no issues with overheating or poor starting. She does not smoke either and the transmission makes no whining sounds and shifts perfectly (smoothly too). There are no odd noises coming from the drivetrain. The brakes work very well (but they too are from 1972), and the gauges all appear to be operating correctly. The bevy of toggle switches takes an engineering degree to figure out – and she does have air conditioning. The radio is aftermarket with additional speakers in the rear deck area. Prior to my ownership, she was locally owned and purchased new by the family that sold it to me. The father bought it, then passed it to his son, then to me. The car has had wonderful and careful ownership – and is coveted by me. I must part with something in my collection to continue the funding of my technology business. I have placed a best offer feature on the car so that a serious future collector might get a great buy. Inspections are welcome by appointment only. Please ask all questions before bidding.
