Not too long ago, a very good friend called me about his 1967 4.2 Jaguar XKE OTS. He had two precise questions for me to research and a task. First, was his XKE a Series 1 or Series 1.5? Second, was his car originally equipped with an enclosed headlight bonnet or open headlight bonnet? Finally, would I research the provenance of his XKE.
I started my research, as I always do where appropriate, and checked the car’s VIN number to see if it has ever been reported lost or stolen. I use the National Insurance Crime Bureau (NICB) website, which provides a number of free searches each month. My search indicated this XKE has never been reported as stolen or totaled. www.nicb.org/theft_and_fraud_awareness/vincheck/vincheck
