This is a comprehensive 36-year personal ownership history of a rare, non-running project: a stunning 1965 Jaguar XKE Series I roadster. Manufactured in June 1965, this elegant white 4.2-liter inline-six variant initially found its way into the hands of Fattori and Montani in Rome, Italy, before being acquired by the current owner in November 1988. Although it has spent several years off the road due to its non-running status, this classic British convertible retains its timeless beauty and historic significance. Currently located in Belleville, Illinois, USA, this unique opportunity awaits those eager to tackle a restoration project of one of history's most iconic cars.
