1974 Jaguar XKE
When the XKE first came out the highest compliment that it
was ever paid was by Enzo Ferrari who stated that it was the most beautiful car
ever. (Keep in mind that Enzo is well
known for producing some pretty good-looking cars). The 1961 Jaguar used the Jaguar six cylinder
dual overhead cam engine. By the 1970s Jaguar’s
image as an avant -garde sports car needed a boost and the Jaguar engineers and
designers came out with the V12 engine and lengthened the wheelbase. The lengthened wheelbase provided
considerably more comfort to the cockpit and the car still remained one of the
all time greatest sports cars but was now also a comfortable touring car.
Before describing the attributes of this car, lets keep in
mind what most collectors know, and that is that some of the hottest collector
cars today are foreign sports cars and of course the Jaguar is right up there
in the front running. Savvy collectors
covet cars that come from the original owners (which is very rare to find) and with
original paint and original interior…in others words a real original survivor
like this car is considered the most desirable for any collector of sports
cars. In addition if the sports cars
have very rare accessories (that most of the cars when new were not equipped
with) this adds more value to the car. In the case of this Jaguar the rarest accessory of all is the hardtop.
Now in reference to the car that MissChiTown is marketing
for the original owner, yes this is an original owner car and to top this off, the person who bought this car brand new is a woman. She lives in a very rural area and always
stored the car indoors and never drove it in bad weather. As a matter of fact her storage has a wooden
floor as an extra benefit. To make this
car more significant it has the original paint and the original interior. Of course for the frosting on the cake it has
the factory hardtop (not a repro hardtop but a factory hardtop!)
As you can see from the photos and as the owner has stated
the car has extremely low original miles, which are showing 24, 525 on the
odometer. The car has had no major
repairs and far as the owner knows all major components are working, as they
should be except the tachometer. The
private seller is getting quite elderly and has decided to find a new caretaker
for her baby.
An original owner, V12 engine with original paint and
original interior and factory hardtop, we think you will agree are as rare as
hen’s teeth. We suggest that you take a
good look at the photos and ask all questions before bidding to be sure that
you are satisfied with the answers and then bid your heart out for this truly
unusual V12 automatic Jaguar roadster.
The private seller wants to point out the following:
ORIGINAL OWNER
LOW MILES 24, 525
ORIGINAL PAINT AND ORIGINAL INTERIOR
SABLE PAINT (BROWN GRAY TAUPE)
LONGEST TRIP SHE EVER TOOK WITH IT WAS 100 MILES IN ONE
DIRECTION.
OPTIONAL LUGGAGE RACK
RARE FACTORY HARDTOP (SELLER SAYS THAT THE HEADLINER NEEDS
ATTENTION).
TONNEAU COVER
All Jaguar XKEs have been shooting stars with the collectors
but the V12s appear to be appreciating faster then even the six cylinder XKE
Jaguars.
