One of the most beautifully breathtaking sports cars of all time has got to be the Jaguar E-Type. Introduced in 1961 with styling penned by the legendary Malcoln Sayer, the E-Type really put Jaguar Cars of Britain on the map. Three series of E-Type were made until 1974, and of course, we got it in the United States as well. For our market, the name was slightly changed to XKE, a mere footnote given that the car was largely the same regardless of which side of the pond it appeared for sale on. This 1970 Jaguar XKE is a fine Series 2 example that’s reportedly all-original and it hails from Fitzwilliam, New Hampshire. With around 18,000 Series 2 examples made for the entire world, of which just 4,855 were fixed-head coupes like this one, you’ll be buying a pretty rare bird. The car’s 54,881 miles is relatively low too, once again, giving you a fantastic classic car to not just own, but drive around every now and then, and all the while, appreciating in value as long as you maintain it appropriately.
Exterior and Interior
Those awe-inspiring flowing lines that well, flowed from Malcoln Sayer’s pen and onto the production line are perfectly showcased with this 1970 Jaguar XKE’s fine coat of red paint. The paintwork appears in largely decent condition, and will look absolutely fabulous after a mere cut and polish. The car’s dainty chrome bumpers add another dimension to its graceful elegance as it glides by on wire wheels with Jaguar-branded spinners. Remember that the spinners are marked for each side, as they must be twisted in different directions to remove the wheel. The wheels host a set of classic Vredestein Sport tires, once again very period-correct. The two-seat interior of this 1970 Jaguar XKE comes with features such as a wood-rimmed steering wheel, full instrumentation and an aircraft-inspired center console, what with its myriad auxiliary dials and switches. There’s a Sony radio cassette player as well, once again definitely a period part, if not slightly younger than the car. Behind the two seats is a large cargo area that’s easily accessed from the tailgate. Some examples came with two small seats at the rear which added capacity for two small children, but this car doesn’t appear to have them, choosing to provide you with a larger trunk instead.
Engine
There’s a silky smooth 4.2-liter in-line six-cylinder engine under the car’s graceful hood, breathing through twin carburetors. Figures for US market cars were quoted at 246 horsepower and 263 lb-ft of torque. A 4-speed manual transmission sends power to the rear wheels for that true sports car experience.
