Overview of 1974 Jaguar XKE Roadster For Sale by Owner

When it debuted in 1961, the Jaguar E-Type was voted the Sexiest Car at the time. Enzo Ferrari reportedly complimented its looks, and the E-Type was plastered all over the fronts of car magazines in Europe and the USA. It's also been featured in an Austin Powers film and on the TV series Mad Men. This particular 1974 Jaguar XKE Roadster is from the Series 3 generation and comes to you after reportedly being redone around two or three years ago. It's also claimed to have an original mileage of just 22,800 miles on the odometer.

Exterior and Interior

The Sable Brown coat on this 1974 Jaguar XKE Roadster is said to be the original paint, and the car reportedly sports its original spoked wire wheels, too. The E-Type's design has aged so well that this car is still breathtaking to look at. It's even more so when you drop the black convertible top and allow the car's flowing lines to take center stage. You'll also appreciate details such as the clean head and taillamps, the twin exhaust pipes rakishly emerging from beneath the rear bumper, and the V12 badges. The current owner tells us that the bumpers have been polished out. Furthermore, the car has received new tires, a new convertible top, and a top boot. Inside, you'll experience the E-Type's cabin in all its glory, with tan seats, a push-button radio, and a three-spoke steering wheel. The driver faces two lovely Smiths dials for speed and engine revs. Meanwhile, the center console hosts more dials, as well as switches for the car's hazard and interior lights, headlamps, and windshield wipers. There's also an air conditioning unit installed, so you can enjoy a cool breeze when the sun blazes overhead.

Engine

This 1974 Jaguar XKE Roadster packs the soulful 5.3L V12 engine that defines an E-Type. Thanks to the presence of four carburetors, the engine was factory-rated for 272hp, allowing the car to do 0-60 in under 7 seconds. The current owner says that the engine has also been redone. You'll appreciate the manual transmission that drives the rear wheels, making this a definite delight for driving enthusiasts. Meanwhile, the standard power steering and uprated brakes ensure that the car handles and stops equally well.
