The interior of this 1968 Jaguar E-Type XKE Series I 4.2 Roadster is finished in Black and centers around a wood-rimmed 3-spoke steering wheel, Smiths instrumentation, and center-mounted auxiliary gauges. The layout is simple and purposeful, with the manual shifter falling naturally to hand and the dashboard retaining the distinctive period arrangement associated with early E-Types. An Alpine AM/FM cassette stereo adds a later convenience without significantly changing the character of the cabin.

Engine

Powering this 1968 Jaguar E-Type XKE Series I 4.2 Roadster is a 4.2L naturally aspirated inline-six fed by triple SU HD8 carburetors and paired with a 4-speed manual transmission.
