History, William Lyons had a keen eye for style and distinguished taste, but he was not a trained engineer. While he had personally drafted designs for all previous Jaguar models, recognizing the significance of the E-Type, he enlisted the expertise of Malcolm Sayer, a brilliant mathematician and aerodynamicist who had formal training as a engineer and a passion for automobiles. Under the direction of Lyons, Sayer shaped the body of the XKE and created what many consider the most beautiful automotive design ever. Taking what it had learned on the track with the D-type and applying it to its new model, Jaguar's new E-type featured a monocoque passenger compartment and tail section, a tube-framed engine bay, and a tilting bonnet. With its well-appointed interior, civilized 3.8-liter six-cylinder engine, and a compliant suspension, the E-type was an ideal two-place sports car. The XKE has looks to die for, with sweeping lines and an aggressive yet undeniable sensual stance., Details, Car Condition: Show/Driver Level, This Jaguar XKE FHC has undergone a complete restoration to a Show/Driver level by Jaguar professionals, featuring many custom items. This is a spectacular performance vehicle. It includes desirable performance upgrades such as a 5 speed transmission, aluminum radiator with aluminum header tank, alternator, weber carbs, headers, adjustable suspension, wider 6 inch wheels and tires and modern contemporary electronic gauges with white faces. Other upgrades include comfortable and recline-able Series 2 seats, a custom wood steering wheel, black velour dash top, an in-dash AM/FM CD player, battery power switch with Optima battery and Dynamat insulation throughout the car. The bonnet beads were removed to give the car a sleek look., Auction ,, Advertiser Since 1978
