and paint. Beautifully fitted leather interior, wool carpeting, and
canvas soft top. The bright work is excellent, and the new wide
whites and chrome knock off wire wheels are stunning. The glass and
lamps are in good shape as well. The engine compartment has been
highly detailed, and is extremely clean. This XKE is in great
condition throughout, and very correct in terms of finishes and
appearance. This Jag roadster is ready for spirited use, show, or a
casual Sunday drive. All E-Types featured independent coil spring
rear suspension with torsion bar front ends, and four-wheel disc
brakes, in-board at the rear, all were power-assisted. Jaguar was
one of the first vehicle manufacturers to equip cars with disc
brakes as standard from the XK150 in 1958. The Series 1 can be
recognized by glass-covered headlights (up to 1967), small mouth
opening at the front, signal lights and tail-lights above bumpers
and exhaust tips under the number plate in the rear. A Jaguar
