Our Take:
- The 1969 Jaguar XKE, also known as the E-Type, is a classic emblem of British automotive engineering. The XKE is renowned not just for its sleek aesthetics—often compared to a work of art—but also for its top-notch performance in its time. Enzo Ferrari himself called it "the most beautiful car ever made," which is quite the endorsement.
- This particular model is the 2+2 version, which means it's got a slightly longer wheelbase for a tiny bit more room inside. It might've been Jaguar's way of nodding to families without losing that sporty edge. With the optional factory manual transmission, driving purists can revel in the tactile satisfaction of each gear shift.
- Featuring factory-installed air conditioning, this XKE flaunts a rare feature for its era. Air conditioning in a 1969 model wasn't exactly standard fare, making it a luxurious addition that adds another tick to its rarity quotient. In Florida's balmy climate, this feels less like a luxury and more of a necessity.
- With only 50,000 miles driven, this car has stood the test of time quite admirably. Considering that many classics from that period have either been retired or extensively overhauled, this mileage suggests it wasn't left to rust away. Sure, it needs some interior TLC—like that passenger seat—but the overall mechanical soundness speaks volumes.
