- This 1962 Jaguar XKE is a Series I flat-floor roadster that was assembled in December 1961 and initially delivered to Jaguar Cars of New York. A cosmetic and mechanical refurbishment was commissioned in the mid-2010s and acquired by the selling dealer in 2024 after being owned by wrestler/actor John Cena.
Finished in black with a matching soft top and boot cover, the car is powered by a 3.8-liter inline-six that is mated to a four-speed manual transmission and a limited-slip differential.
The cabin is outfitted with red leather upholstery, an AM radio, a Moto-Lita steering wheel, and textured aluminum trim, and further equipment includes chrome 15″ wire-spoke steel wheels, power-assisted disc brakes, triple windshield wipers, and a louvered clamshell hood.
This flat-floor Series I roadster is offered by the selling dealer with a clean Florida title. Offer by Naples Luxury Cars featured on Bring a Trailer!

This Series I roadster was initially assembled on December 7, 1961, and is one of a reported 2,086 left-hand-drive examples produced with a continuous floorboard under each seat. The car underwent a refurbishment that is said to have been completed in 2017 by Ringbrothers of Spring Green, Wisconsin.
The car is finished in black with a black soft top and boot cover. Further details include a louvered clamshell hood, enclosed headlights, triple windshield wipers, and chrome wraparound bumpers and trim. Close-up photos of the finish are provided in the gallery.
Chrome-finished 15″ wire wheels are secured by two-eared knock-offs and wear Toyo Extensa tires, and a matching spare is stowed in the trunk. Braking is provided by four-wheel discs with inboard-mounted rear rotors.
The bucket seats are upholstered in red leather and are joined by color-coordinated door panels and carpets. Interior appointments include textured aluminum dashboard trim, a sliding rearview mirror, an AM radio, and a heater.
The wood-rimmed Moto-Lita steering wheel features an E-Type-branded horn button and frames a Smiths 160-mph speedometer and 6k-rpm tachometer. Ancillary readouts for coolant temperature, oil pressure, fuel level, and amperage are located in the center of the dashboard. The five-digit odometer shows 401 miles. Total chassis 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. An aluminum radiator is fitted, and the dual exhaust system terminates through polished centrally-mounted finishers.
Power is routed to the rear wheels through a Moss four-speed manual transmission and a limited-slip differential. The Jaguar Heritage Trust Production Record Trace certificates show the original colors and drivetrain numbers as well as the build and dispatch dates.

This is a beautiful car. One of my neighbors has one. When I saw if for the first time, I gasped, and told the guy, that is a beautiful car. Arguably one of the best looking cars in the world.
This is by far the most amazing car I've ever driven :) ~S
Your toggle switch throws on the map light. You rotated out the ashtray.
Steering wheel stronger but unoriginal.
I owned this exact yr conv. for 30 yrs, no. 875617, sold 2007 and went to Holland.
Big mistake,,, what memories, thanx!
PS, how much?
Thank You for the Information, MUCHO APPRECIATED!! ~S
Fantastic car and fantastic Sophie Eva Kant version.😂🔝💪👣😉
Glad you like it!
An amazing car. The pedals looks a bit longer than usual. Sad part is didn't see much of the barefoot driving. Sophie looks pretty in those heels than the flats.
Next time! Agree, will do more on the next one...... :) ~S
That's an amazing video
shoe change ? why ???
Finally my dream come true! Sophie drives with a pair of flat sandals! Very very good video!! Now we all want to see her driving the manual ferrari 360 modena!! Would be perfect in flat sandals again!
She wore those for the Dodge Viper video.
@@haljacobs8128 Nope, she wear a different pair of shoes…
I have LOTS of shoes, but prefer barefoot :) ~S
Two beauties, in Black not sure what one I want
One just sold today :) ~S
Amazing. i loved it.
Why do you only ride without shoes for such a short time?
That is a very nice car
Wow Amazing Will you please upload off-roading wheels Spinning
Yes I will, next one I'll take in the sand and get it stuck :) ~S
@@naplesluxurycars Oh Thank you so much I'm Still waiting for your Clip's🥰🥰
@@naplesluxurycars N second one is Car will using On Suzuki Mini Truck Munal I Love that....
I'd love to see Sophie coldstart or better yet hardstart old finicky cars (beaters or classics).. nothing like seeing a woman finesse and triumph over a rough cold blooded vehicle! I'd be willing to pay for videos and be a regular! Let me know if feasible
Couldn't agree more! We will look into doing that feature on the channel, thanks for the comment and suggestion :) ~S
@naplesluxurycars anyway to keep in touch? I'm willing to help invest in a carbureted beater or classic for Sophie to use! I'd be a sponsor!
Sophie!!!!
Yes Dear!
@@naplesluxurycars you make every car so much more beautiful
It’s a ash tray for your cigars
Thank you so much :)
😪😪
Hola auntie do you always drive barefoot 🦶 and why?
20 pound on a cold start is nothing to bragg about should be at least 40 ,but who really cares this is more a chanel for the foot fetischist
I will always be soft with the cars when cold ~S
Rev your car
I will do better on the next video, THANKS :) ~S
Sophie why you stop driving barefeet? Especially manual cars as you did to previous videos!!
