Vehicle Description
1971 Jaguar XKE Series II Fixed Head Coupe
How do yo spell sexy with three letters? The answer is XKE. When
the E Type Jaguar was launched in March 1961 at the Geneva Motor
show it attracted the attention of the whole world like no other
car ever had ever done before. With its stunning sleek bodywork,
ground breaking performance & impressive handling it astonished
all. Could a car like this really be available for nearly half the
price of Aston Martins DB4? Jaguar's founder William Lyons, had
with his designer & aerodynamicist Malcom Sayer, and engineering
director William Heynes, created what was to become the greatest
motoring legend of all time. And here is your opportunity to enjoy
an outstanding rendering of that legend today.
This example is is fitted with the original 4.2 litre version of
the well proven 6 cylinder double overhead camshaft XK engine, and
is driven through a four speed manual Moss gearbox. Suspension is
independent all round. The rear suspension features twin coil
spring and damper units either side was, along with the
differential and inboard rear brake assemblies, mounted in a cradle
that was attached to the cars shell via insulated rubber bushes and
stabilised by sturdy radius arms. Inside this fine car you will
find leather seats and fully comprehensive instrumentation that is
beautifully laid out on the sports black and aluminium dashboard,
with an odometer reading of only 50k miles. This is all
complimented by a wood rim sports steering wheel to guide Jaguars
responsive rack & pinion steering. The first road tests further
helped to promote the E Type's virtues, with a top speed of 153mph
being attained along with standing quarter mile and 0 - 60mph times
of 15 seconds & 6.7 seconds respectively. The E type maintained
Jaguars very respectable reputation in motor sport and as
manufacturer of quality performance cars.
