TRIPLE WEBER CARBURETORSRECENTLY SERVICED AND DETAILED 1970 Jaguar
XKE Series II Coupe featuring the desirable color combination of a
Red Exterior over a Black Leather Interior. This XKE has been the
recent recipient of a full service and subtle restoration. It
features the 4.2L straight-6 engine, fully synchromesh 4-speed, and
desirable triple Weber carbs. 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. Slide into our E-Type and you are
transported back to the pinnacle of Jaguar history. Throw the car
into first gear, and you will note the extremely positive shifts
and well defined gates. The steering wheel is well proportioned,
allowing for ample leverage at both high and low speeds. The ride
is sports car taut, but not harsh in any way. This car is
accompanied by extensive records of service and ownership along
with the Jaguar heritage trust certificate. A through TLD
inspection, service and detail have recently been performed and
this exceptional automobile is now ready for its next owner to
enjoy for many years to come.
