Buying a 1965 Jaguar XKE

Purchased by only the most discerning and affluent buyers of the time, the 1965 Jaguar XKE was perhaps the most sought-after European sports car during the 1960’s. Not only was the Jaguar XKE stylish and appealing visually, it was incredible to drive. Capable of reaching 150mph, it would leave behind supercars of the day that were twice the price. A proven straight six-cylinder engine that had been used in the XK150 originally powered the XKE, but the engine would see several upgrades over the 13-year lifespan of the series. The 1965 Jaguar XKE received the 4.2-litre version as well as an all-synchromesh gearbox, while later down the line, the Series 3 would come out with an upgraded 5.3-litre V12 engine. Other changes that came with the 1965 Jaguar XKE included: the generator being replaced by an alternator and the electrical system switching to a negative-ground. Inside, the dashboard changed from aluminum to a black finish and more comfortable seats were added.
