Buying a 1967 Jaguar XKE Fixed Head Coupe

To comply with safety regulations in the United States, Jaguar’s biggest market, a series of changes were brought about during the late 1960s. The cars released from 1967 to 1968, would become known as the Series 1 cars. Although this was an unofficial designation, Jaguar enthusiasts use this name to denote these transitional cars, which were externally similar to Series I cars. As far as distinguishing features go, the 1967 Jaguar XKE Fixed Head Coupe is likely to have uncovered headlights, while turn signals were still above the bumpers. The power train would be the same as the Series I cars from 1966, and would feature a 4.2L engine. However, two Zenith Stromberg carburetors replaced the three SU carburetors. The valve covers also had ridges rather than being smooth. Inside the Series 1 XKE, rocker switches would replace dipper switches as a safety upgrade. These are the major changes that can help you distinguish a 1967 Jaguar XKE FHC from other models.
