In 1961<\/em> after years of speculation, Jaguar<\/strong> uncaged the ultimate cat, the XKE<\/strong>. This car\u00a0was so outstanding, that all the other cars paled before it. It was the last of the\u00a0great racing cars that could be driven on the road. The performance was wild and exciting\u00a0yet the car exuded beauty and luxury.<\/p>\n

The magnificent body was designed in a wind tunnel by Malcolm Sayer<\/em><\/strong> <\/em>, an outstanding\u00a0aircraft designer. It was crafted of 20 gauge<\/em> sheet metal with welding monocoupe construction.\u00a0This allowed savings in weight since there was no heavy frame. There were many innovations\u00a0introduced in this car.<\/p>\n

The first model introduced in 1961<\/em> was the Series I E-type<\/strong>.<\/p>\n

In 1964<\/em> the 3.8 liter<\/strong> car was replaced by the 4.2 liter<\/strong> car.\u00a0In 1971<\/em> in order to pep up the Big Cat<\/em><\/strong> <\/em>, the V-12<\/em> engine was\u00a0installed and known as the Series III<\/strong>.<\/p>\n

Look at this elegant Fixed Head 2+2<\/strong> from Jaguar<\/strong>. The Series III V-12<\/strong> XKE<\/em> Coupe.\u00a0The engine is a 5343 cc 12 cyl single overhead camshaft producing 272 bhp @ 5850 rpm. The exterior is a\u00a0gorgeous Primrose with a rare factory Wabeso<\/em> Sunroof, the interior is black leather with new\u00a0re-upholstered front seats. Options include: Automatic transmission<\/em>, Leather Interior,\u00a0Air Conditioning(Blows Cold),<\/em> Wabeso Sunroof, Pwr. Steering and Pwr. Brakes. The rear window, door moldings,\u00a0chrome moldings and door rubber on the rear window are all new. A classic elegant<\/strong> beauty on wheels.\u00a0A true British Classic<\/em> Coupe<\/strong>.<\/p>\n
