Buying a 1962 Jaguar XKE Fixed Head Coupe

The Jaguar XKE, first launched in 1961 at the Geneva Motor Show, was designed and engineered by Malcolm Gilbert Sayer. Born in 1916, he spent more than twenty years of his life working at Jaguar, and would combine his love for art and mathematics to design the Jaguar XKE. His vision was to build an aerodynamic and mathematically perfect car. In the process, he would design a timeless classic that continues to rank among the most beautiful cars in the world. His influence to car design and engineering can still be seen on todays Jaguars. The 1962 Jaguar XKE Fixed Head Coupe, as well as the Open Two Seater convertible option, would clearly demonstrate jaguars racing experience and included independent suspension all around (at a time when competitors like Ferrari were still using live rear axles), disc brakes all around, and Jaguars legendary twin cam inline-six. If youre thinking about buying a 1962 Jaguar XKE FHC, it is important to mention that these Series I cars are often the most desired, as the arrival of American safety legislation and the twelve cylinder engine made the later cars less attractive and less sporting in the eyes of most collectors.
