The breathtaking Jaguar E-Type is widely considered one of the sexiest cars of all time. Long, low, and with stunning curves that accentuated its speedy silhouette, the E-Type also had a potent V12 under the hood in some iterations. Furthermore, we North Americans got the E-Type, albeit slightly renamed XK-E or XKE. That's what this 1971 Jaguar XKE Coupe is: an example of a jaw-dropping sports car. Up for sale right now, this car may not have the iconic V12 under the hood, but it's still got the power to surprise.
Exterior and Interior
The E-Type looks amazing no matter what color it wears. That's why few will focus much on the reportedly original red paint worn by this 1971 Jaguar XKE Coupe. Instead, they'll be blown away by its design, including its faired-in headlamps, front-hinged hood, and wire wheels. The designer of this beauty is Malcolm Sayer, and we feel it's worth giving the man his due credit. After all, the E-Type is considered by many a hard act to follow, and Jaguar only recently managed to come close with the aptly named F-Type. The cabin of this 1971 Jaguar XKE Coupe is comfortably able to accommodate two adults on black leather seats, with a spacious luggage area directly beneath the rear glass hatch. Yes, it's a grand tourer in true European style. Highlights include a lovely set of analog dials, a three-spoke sporty steering wheel, three pedals, and a manual gearbox. You'll also find a radio in the center console, plus plenty of switches for lights, wipers, and heating. That's all. You won't find any digital distractions, as the pure act of driving this car is an all-enveloping one.
Engine
The powerplant that motivates this 1971 Jaguar XKE Coupe is a still-impressive 4.2-liter in-line six-cylinder engine. The engine should make around 170 horsepower, and drives the rear wheels via a manual transmission. With communicative steering, powerful brakes, and excellent handling characteristics, this 1971 Jaguar XKE Coupe is a treat to drive down your favorite road, as that soulful six sings its song.
Few automobiles are as instantly recognizable as the Jaguar E-Type, a machine that has long been celebrated for its stunning design and engaging driving dynamics. This 1969 Jaguar E-Type Series II 2+2 Coupe is a fascinating survivor story, having spent decades in storage before being recommissioned and returned to the road. Showing 78,775 miles, this example pairs Jaguar’s legendary 4.2-liter inline-six engine with the highly desirable 4-speed manual transmission and a limited-slip differential. Finished in Dark Blue over a Biscuit interior, the car retains many of the characteristics that made the E-Type an icon of the automotive world. For enthusiasts seeking a usable classic with documented history and an authentic character, this Series II 2+2 presents a unique opportunity to experience one of Britain’s most celebrated sports cars.
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.
Jaguar’s XJS spent more than two decades carrying the torch for the legendary E-Type, evolving into one of the most refined grand touring cars of its era. This 1991 Jaguar XJS V12 Convertible shows 52,140 miles and represents one of the final years of the facelifted pre-AJR6 V12 models. Finished in elegant Signal Red over a Black interior, this British luxury convertible combines timeless styling, smooth V12 power, and open-air touring capability. With its long hood, pillarless design, and turbine-smooth twelve-cylinder engine, the XJS remains one of the most distinctive grand tourers produced by Jaguar. Today, well-preserved V12 convertibles are increasingly appreciated by collectors for their combination of exclusivity, craftsmanship, and classic British character.
The Jaguar XJ-S was tasked with following one of the most iconic sports cars ever built, the E-Type, and it accomplished that challenge by carving out its own identity as a refined high-speed grand tourer. This 1983 Jaguar XJS Coupe represents one of the finest surviving examples of the model, showing just 14,878 miles from one owner. Finished in elegant Grosvenor Brown over a Biscuit leather interior, this V12-powered Jaguar remains remarkably preserved and is accompanied by its original documentation, a set of OEM factory wheels, and the original factory dual-beam headlights. Combining low ownership, exceptionally low mileage, and a highly original presentation, this XJS offers collectors an increasingly rare opportunity to acquire one of Jaguar’s most sophisticated grand touring coupes from the 1980s.
Luxury grand touring convertibles don’t get much better than Jaguar’s XKR. Introduced as the high-performance variant of the XK lineup, the XKR paired timeless British styling with serious supercharged V8 power, creating a car equally capable of devouring interstate miles or turning heads on a weekend cruise. This 2010 Jaguar XKR Convertible has covered just 28,842 miles and presents in exceptional showroom-like condition, having been carefully garage kept and meticulously maintained throughout its life. Finished in striking Salsa over a rich Caramel leather interior and complemented by a custom red convertible soft top, this Jaguar offers a truly distinctive specification. The cabin remains remarkably well preserved, with the owner noting that the unmistakable new leather scent is still present, a testament to the care this vehicle has received. Backed by a 510-horsepower supercharged V8, elegant British craftsmanship, and outstanding overall presentation, this XKR represents one of the finest examples of Jaguar’s modern grand touring convertible formula.
