Overview of 1968 Jaguar XKE Series I 4.2 Roadster For Sale by Owner

Here’s your chance to own one of the most beautiful, iconic and defining cars of the 20th century. The Jaguar E-Type was introduced in 1961, and quickly became a cult classic. With its swooping lines, stylish appearance and high performance for the time, the E-Type was sold as the XKE in North America. It came in coupe and convertible forms, and quickly became popular among the well-heeled and discerning lot. Today, we have a 1968 Jaguar XKE Roadster for sale from Lewiston, New York. This 72,000-mile car is in great shape, and represents an excellent investment for the future. You see, not only is a car like this a great conversation piece and guaranteed appreciating asset if you maintain it, it’s also superbly engaging to drive every now and then.

Exterior and Interior

This 1968 Jaguar XKE 4.2 Roadster showcases its graceful body in a suit of red paint and features a black canvas top that can be raised when required. The car’s shape is most beautiful with the top down, but even when it’s raised, the overall silhouette is one of attractiveness. We’re told that the car bears aftermarket chrome wheels but they look suitably period-correct. The car also bears chrome bumpers and comes with North American-mandated sealed-beam headlamps. The interior of this 1968 Jaguar XKE Roadster seats two full sized adults on black leather seats. Designed to invoke memories of being in a contemporary aircraft’s cockpit, you’ll definitely see the aero theme within the high-set center console and its myriad of switches for auxiliary functions, auxiliary gauges, and the clock. This car has been fitted with a slightly newer radio as well, that includes a cassette player. Meanwhile, the driver has the sweetest spot of all, with the speedometer and tachometer directly visible through the wood-rimmed steering wheel, three pedals in the footwell, and a proper gear shifter to operate.

Engine

This 1968 Jaguar XKE Roadster comes with a 4.2-liter in-line six-cylinder engine to drive it along. A 4-speed manual transmission sends power to the rear axle. The car also has four-wheel disc brakes, rack and pinion steering and independent suspension for all four wheels.

One of the prettiest cars in the world, the Jaguar E-Type was so breathtaking when it launched in 1961 that it reportedly was able to even captivate the heart of Enzo Ferrari! Called the XK-E for the North American market, it was made between 1961 and 1974 and offered in coupe and convertible variants. Purists argue that the coupe is the better looking of the two, and if you’d like to join in the discussion, why not get some ammo? Here’s a 1967 Jaguar XK-E 2+2 for sale from Cincinnati, Ohio. It’s a wonderful specimen of one of the most prolific cars of the Sixties and is an excellent future investment too.

When it was launched in 1961, the Jaguar E-Type (or XK-E to us in North America) was reportedly called the most beautiful car ever made. This claim is said to have come from none other than Enzo Ferrari, although it remains to be substantiated. Either way, there’s no denying the impact that the E-Type would have on the motoring world. Long, low and sleek, Jaguar claimed it to have a 150mph top speed. Whether that was true or not (spoiler alert, it was initially not, then it came to be), the E-Type remains one of the most desirable classic cars in the world to this day. So, here’s a lucky find, a 33,219-mile 1968 Jaguar XK-E from Pennsylvania. This Series 1.5 car is a 2+2 and has received some refreshment to keep it at its peak.
