Overview of 1968 Jaguar XKE Series 1.5 4.2 Coupe For Sale by Owner

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.

Exterior and Interior

The striking lines and stunning curves of the E-Type are beautifully brought out by the red paint job worn by this 1968 Jaguar XK-E. We’re told that the car was repainted eight years ago, which explains why the paint is still in great condition. The car features dainty chrome bumpers, chrome wire wheels and fixed-beam headlamps which lack the aerodynamic covers that European market examples received. Also, since this car is of the 2+2 variant, it’s got a wheelbase that’s 9-inches longer. The interior of this 1968 Jaguar XK-E comes in beige and is a wondrous place to spend hundreds of miles and many hours in. There’s a radio with USB capabilities for your music. Then, we’re told that the heater has received stainless water pipes to ensure that it functions appropriately. Everything else is period correct, from the wood-rimmed steering wheel to the lovely Smiths analog gauges.

Engine

This 1968 Jaguar XK-E comes with the 4.2-liter engine that enabled that epic 150mph top speed. This in-line six is naturally aspirated and fed by twin Zenith-Stromberg carburetors. It sends power to the rear wheels through a 4-speed manual gearbox. We’re told that this car has received replaced shocks and a replaced braking system, plus a stainless steel exhaust. So, it should be an absolute treat to drive, as you gaze upon that long hood and call upon that throaty six cylinder to propel you into automotive bliss.
