Our Take:
- The 1969 Jaguar XKE Series II, also widely known as the E-Type across the pond, is often touted as one of the most beautiful cars ever made—a testament to its timeless and iconic design. With Enzo Ferrari himself declaring it "the most beautiful car ever made," this Jag is a piece of rolling art that never fails to turn heads, even among those who might not know a crankshaft from a camshaft.
- This specific model, finished in the rare Willow Green with a Cinnamon leather interior, adds a dash of British flair that’s just as captivating today as it was over half a century ago. The color combo not only nods to the sophisticated yet daring spirit of the 1960s but also offers some serious curb appeal that stands out in a sea of monochrome modern vehicles.
- Performance-wise, the 4.2-liter inline-six engine still packs a punch with its 246 horsepower and 263 lb-ft of torque. Paired with the four-speed manual transmission, it provides an engaging driving experience that turns any drive into a mini-adventure. The use of dual Zenith-Stromberg carburetors is a nod to its era, offering a blend of reliability and a touch of British engineering eccentricity.
- Despite its beauty, it's not without its quirks—typical of many British classics. The visible scratches, corrosion, and areas of cracked paint tell tales of yesteryears, while the recent maintenance, including rebuilt carburetors and new Vredestein tires, ensures it's not just a garage queen. This car's history, backed by the Jaguar Heritage Trust Production Record Trace Certificate, adds authenticity, making it not just a looker but a genuine piece of automotive history.
