Vehicle Description
If you are a Jaguar purist, this may not be the XKE for you. If
you're for dependable American iron, keep reading.
Dressed in Primrose Yellow, this car's paint and trim are in
overall very good order while the bodywork is straight. The car's
engine bay is very tidy and the chrome, wraparound bumpers fit
tightly to the body. Made in Coventry, England, the short wheelbase
fixed-head coupe body style was discontinued, with the Series 3
available only as a convertible and 2+2 coupe.
This big cat rolls on Dunlop Signature radials, size 205/70R15 at
every paw. Each one is mounted on original knock-off wire wheels.
The tires are in very good order while the wheels are in
satisfactory order.
Under the big, forward-hinged bonnet is a 355 CID Chevrolet V-8
engine in place of Jaguar's 5.3L V-12. Backing this V-8 is a GM
four-speed automatic transmission. Driver convenience features
include four wheel disc brakes. Car is equipped with A/C but has no
compressor.
Inside, the black Connolly Leather seats are in overall
satisfactory condition and the driver's side has a large blemish.
The matching carpet, headliner and dashboard are in similar order.
Tach, fuel, oil, and temp gauges are inop. A big, three-spoke
steering wheel faces the driver along with the inner door liners. A
console-mounted shifter completes the interior.
The new longer wheelbase offered significantly more room in all
directions. The Series 3 is easily identifiable by the large
cross-slatted front grille, flared wheel arches, wider tires, four
exhaust tips and a badge on the rear that proclaims it to be a
V-12.
Cars for the US market were fitted with large projecting rubber
bumper over-riders to meet local 5 mph impact regulations, but
those on European models were considerably smaller. US models also
have side indicator repeats on the front wings. The V-12 Open Two
Seater and V-12 2+2 were factory fitted with Dunlop E70VR - 15-inch
tires on 15 � 6K wire or solid wheels.
