1962 Jaguar XKE

1962 Jaguar XK Description

For sale in our Fort Lauderdale showroom is a beautiful 1962 Jaguar XKE! Designed by a noted aerodynamicist Malcolm Sayer, the E-type was meant to cheat the wind, but its glass covered headlights, long hood, short rear deck and compound curves also coincidentally looked great. Hence why the Jaguar E-Type is Ranked the most beautiful car in The Daily Telegraph online as it topped the list of the world's "100 most beautiful cars" of all time. The 1962 Jaguar XKE falls into the series 1 category with a powerful 3.8 liter six-cylinder Jaguar XK6 engine from the XK150s that pushed out roughly 150 hp! This stunning car would then sent all the power to a lovely moss 4 speed manual transmission gear box. But Jaguar didn't just stop with what was under the bonnet. All E-Types feature a independent coil spring rear suspension with torsion bar front ends and four wheel disc brakes! The interior is trimmed in a stunning leather upholstered bucket seats, which molds perfect into an aluminum-trimmed centre instrument panel and console. Optioned out with Dunlop RS5 tires on the classic Jag wire wheels. With only 15,490 3.8 liters made in the world these stunning cars are coming harder and harder to find in this kind of condition. Legend has it that when it went on display for the first time at the Geneva Motor Show in 1961, none other than Enzo Ferrari remarked that the XKE was the most beautiful car he'd ever seen! We here at Gateway would have to agree with him! To see more HD pictures and video please visit GatewayClassicCars.com.
