This Series II Coupe also is equipped with Air Conditioning, an option in that year, but a rare find just the same. Open headlights without glass covers, a wrap-around rear bumper, re-positioned with tail lights below and larger front indicators are hallmarks of Series 2 cars. Better cooling aided by an enlarged "mouth" and twin electric fans, and upgraded brakes were also upgrades in 1970. The interior featured more comfortable seating than in the past and the dashboard was redesigned with rocker switches that met US safety regulations being substituted for the old toggle switches. The Jaguar XKE is a British automobile, manufactured by Jaguar between 1961 and 1975. It was a combination of good looks, high performance, and competitive pricing during that era. Comparable Ferraris cost three times more and supplied less horse power. In March 2008, the Jaguar E-Type ranked first in the Daily Telegraph's list of the "100 most beautiful cars" of all time. In 2004, Sports Car International magazine placed the E-Type at number one on their list of Top Sports Cars of the 1960s.
