This 1962 Jaguar XKE began as a right-hand-drive Series I coupe and was converted to a left-hand-drive roadster by Bouillot Helsel. The car underwent a cosmetic refresh in 2014, including a repaint in Carmen Red and a reupholstered tan leather interior, and it was acquired by the current owner in 2020. It is powered by a 3.8-liter inline-six linked to a five-speed manual transmission and is equipped with 15″ wire-spoke steel wheels, power-assisted disc brakes, triple windshield wipers, a touchscreen Kenwood stereo, and a tonneau cover.
The Series I E-Types were equipped with covered headlights and taillights mounted above the chrome rear bumpers, and this example was converted from a coupe to a roadster by French designer Bouillot Helsel. Previously finished in two-tone yellow and burgundy, the car was repainted burgundy in 2014. A brown tonneau cover is included, while no soft top is installed.
The 15″ wire wheels are secured by three-eared knock-offs and are mounted with Pirelli tires measuring 205/75. Braking is provided by four-wheel discs with inboard-mounted rear rotors. The brake booster and master cylinder were reportedly replaced in 2021 along with the front brake lines.
The cabin features bucket seats that were reupholstered in tan leather in 2014, along with color-coordinated door panels and carpets. Interior appointments include tan vinyl dash trim, a sliding rearview mirror, and a touchscreen Kenwood stereo.
The wood-rimmed steering wheel frames a Smiths 160-mph speedometer and 6k-rpm tachometer, while auxiliary gauges for coolant temperature, oil pressure, fuel level, and amperage are located in the center of the dashboard. The speedometer is inoperative, and the five-digit odometer shows 63k miles. Total mileage is unknown.
The 3.8-liter inline-six features triple SU carburetors and was factory rated at 265 horsepower and 260 lb-ft of torque. The seller states that the fuel pump was replaced in 2025. Additional work involved replacing the carburetor diaphragms, ignition rotor, points, and condenser as well as the accessory drive belt, an engine mount, valve cover gaskets, and coolant hoses.
Power is routed to the rear wheels through a five-speed manual transmission and a limited-slip differential.
