#1 1967 XKE - HUNT

Post by Ktm1217 » Thu Feb 29, 2024 11:38 am

My grandfather recently passed away, and owned this 1967 XKE back in the '70s on Long Island, NY. He loved this car. My dad said he sold it for $1500 because my grandmother wanted to put carpeting in the house. In cleaning the house out and going through stuff, we came across the registration card he had for it. I thought it would be neat to find the car and see what it looks like today. We also have a couple of old pictures from when he owned it.

VIN is 1E14505. I found the car on XKEdata, which stated it was relocated to Geneva, Switzerland in 2006 and restored. The engine was rebuilt by VSE in UK, but from what i have read they retired and are no longer around. I did send an email to the person that said it was restored in 2006, but have not had any response.

Thank you! Havent gotten any leads yet, but i am determined to find it. I realize it could take some time though.

I think if i found someone with a connection to VSE in UK, that may help. But not sure where to go with that - it seems they retired and went out of business around 2018.

If you look at the JEC website they have a Swiss contingent. https://jec.org.uk/regions/switzerland
They could be another way of trying to contact the owner.

Good luck
