The British have mastered the art of crafting the perfect roadster, and when you turn back the clock 50 years, you sure were in for a treat if you were in the market for a British convertible. Amongst all the British convertibles available, the golden standard was the Jaguar XKE; the XKE was built to perfection and ready to purr through your weekend drive and look the part as well. Present today in all its glory is this lovely 1974 Jaguar XKE Convertible; it has a reported 50,000 miles on the clock and is reported to be the car's original miles by the current owner.
Exterior and Interior
The styling of the Jaguar XKE will forever be iconic; the curves and edges are made to stand out and stun as you drive by; this 1974 Jaguar XKE Convertible is dressed in red and helps bring that iconic styling to life. This classic British convertible sports all its factory styling with the car's chrome components in excellent shape. In terms of shoes, this British motor sits on a set of wire wheels that are wrapped with whitewall tires for added effect. Like the exterior, the black interior of this 1974 Jaguar XKE Convertible is in near factory shape and sports all its interior trim. The black leather seats give you and your passenger a lovely view of the car's iconic styling and the road ahead.
Engine
If you can look past the iconic styling, you will also find automotive art underneath the hood of this 1974 Jaguar XKE Convertible. Pop open the hood, and what you will find is a British V12 motor capable of giving you infinite memories behind the wheel. The current owner reports that the motor sees some refreshing to make it run smoother; they reported a rebuilt alternator, ignition system, and starter to cut down on the electrical issues; the motor also sees a recent oil change to ensure a smooth transition of power. With the V12 motor running smoothly, the current owner also reports a new sway bar bushing and ball joints for better ride quality. Power is channeled to the car's rear wheels through a manual transmission that sports a new clutch for smooth gear shifts.
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.
The 1999 Jaguar XK8 Convertible represents Jaguar’s return to the classic grand touring formula, combining British elegance, open-air motoring, and the smooth performance of a naturally aspirated V8. As the successor to the XJS, the XK8 introduced Jaguar’s modern aluminum-intensive design language while maintaining traditional luxury touches such as wood trim, leather upholstery, and a refined driving experience. Finished in British Racing Green over an Oatmeal leather interior with a Tan convertible soft top, this example shows approximately 37,115 miles and features desirable equipment including chrome plated wheels, Harman Kardon premium audio, and the All-Weather Package.
The 1988 Jaguar XJ6 Vanden Plas represents the height of traditional British luxury from Jaguar’s renowned Series III era, combining elegant styling, handcrafted appointments, and a smooth inline-six powertrain. As the top-tier Vanden Plas model, it offered enhanced levels of refinement through premium materials and exclusive interior features while maintaining the timeless character that defined the XJ sedan. This example shows approximately 34,086 miles and is finished in Bordeaux Red Metallic over a Barley interior, featuring desirable luxury appointments including burl walnut wood veneer, veneered rear picnic tables, power adjustable leather seats, and factory alloy wheels. With its low mileage, classic Jaguar styling, and carefully appointed cabin, this XJ6 Vanden Plas represents a compelling example of a period-correct British luxury sedan.
The 1995 Jaguar XJS Convertible represents the final evolution of Jaguar’s iconic grand touring roadster, combining elegant British styling, luxurious appointments, and effortless cruising capability. This example has traveled 86,106 miles and is finished in Signal Red with a Tan interior and Tan convertible soft top, creating a timeless color combination that complements the XJS’s classic lines. Powered by Jaguar’s refined AJ16 inline-six engine, this XJS offers a smooth and comfortable driving experience while retaining the character and craftsmanship that defined Jaguar’s legendary grand touring cars. Additional features including wood interior trim, 15-inch alloy wheels, and the factory AM/FM cassette audio system complete this well-equipped example.
