1971 Jaguar - XKE

Product Details

Although just built for only fourteen years the Jaguar XKE definitely made a huge impact both then and now. Enzo Ferrari was even quoted as saying that the E-type Jaguar was the most Beautiful car ever built and Sports Car International magazine placed the E-Type at number one on their list of Top Sports Cars of the 1960's. It was essentially built in three variants, a Fixed Head Coupe , a Open Two-Seater or convertible and the 2+2 which was a coupe with 4 seats. And even though it was essentially a single design body for those fourteen years it did have three generations or three significant updates. This particular car is a Series III and it was only offered in a OTS or a 2+2 model. There were also only three options that could be purchased with these and those are wire wheels, air conditioning and automatic transmission. There were no engine variants offered as they were all the 5.3 Liter V12. This particular stunning Jaguar comes with all three options from new and is largely original with the exception of a re-paint some time ago that still shows very well. The Air-Conditioning still blows ice cold with all lights still in working order. The interior is all original and is showing signs of age in the seats but the rest is nice. Other than the typical surface aging on the under carriage, the rest of the car appears to be free of any rust or rot. This is a wonderful example that runs, drives and shifts excellently with a working original radio! This XKE comes out of long-term ownership and is believed to be a two-owner car.
