Overview of 1969 Jaguar XKE Series II For Sale by Owner

If Batman were to ever be in the market, chances are that he would choose this XKE. Said to have been called, “the most beautiful car ever made,” by Enzo Ferrari himself at its unveiling and one of the most beautiful cars of all time, the infamous Jaguar E-Type, known as the XKE in North America, is among the greatest sports cars to have ever been made. Its looks and power were enough to captivate the heart of John Cena, who happened to previously own this very car according to the current owner, which is in impeccable condition, even after being on the roads for longer than a half-century. The current owner reports a few upgrades and liberties were taken to keep the car on the road, including an engine swap to a 302ci Ford V8, which reportedly has seen nearly 40k miles after. After undergoing a recent tune up, this car is ready to be claimed for your garage, and while you might not see John Cena, you can rest assured that you can see this classic, this is a car that everyone wants to be seen in.

Exterior and Interior

The iconic look and feel of the XKE casts a striking image that oozes power and elegance. The long front stretching out to house the massive engine and the short rear, with the iconic Jaguar emblem, this XKE is set to turn heads wherever it goes. The black exterior adds to this car’s mystique. 18” Strasse wheels, a dual exhaust system with Bullet-style Mufflers pair together to add character to the gorgeous exterior, which is a beauty above all classes. Climbing inside, you’ll find the black exterior color bleeds to the interior. Comfortable leather welcomes you, and the dash with its assortment of switches and dials truly make you feel like you're in a batmobile. The wooden steering wheel has a design refresh from the original, but retains its classic charm, and to ensure maximum comfort, the car is equipped with A/C, a Sony AM/FM/Cassette Stereo system and Bluetooth radio, among other creature comforts.

Engine

With a powerful 302ci Ford V8 transplanted, paired with a C4 transmission, this XKE has plenty of power to spare. It also has a few upgrades, including a Holley Four Barrel Carburetor, an Offenhauser intake manifold, HEI distributor, aluminum radiator with electric fan for cooling, and disk brakes all around for better handling. Based on the Jaguar D-Type racing car which bagged the prestigious 24-hour Le Mans race for three consecutive years, this XKE is a true blooded sports car, which you will feel from the moment you set eyes on it, till you feel the engine’s rumble. No sane enthusiast would pass up on an opportunity with a car as this when the chance to claim a car that’s truly special is up for grabs.
