The 'E' Type Forum

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.

Can't help but love those stories, good luck in finding her.

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.

There is a Swiss Jaguar e type club.....maybe you can find some help there.

Awesome! Thank you. I sent them an email about it.

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
