Buying a 1969 Jaguar XKE Fixed Head Coupe

The 1969 Jaguar XKE Fixed Head Coupe, characterized by its fastback coupe roof, would be the first to mark the beginning of Series II production for the Jaguar XKE, which would last from 1969 to 1971. Easily recognized by a larger grille opening and the repositioned front signal lamps, the 1969 Jaguar XKE would meet all the new safety requirements that were put in place by the United States during the mid 1960s. Brakes were upgraded and radial tires became standard equipment. Air conditioning and power steering became additional options, while larger taillights would now sit under the rear wrap-around bumper. Inside the car, dash-mounted toggle switches were replaced with rocker switches, which were deemed safer. It is important to note that if you’re considering buying a 1969 Jaguar XKE Fixed Head Coupe that the amount of emission controls and features such as air conditioning took some of the power out of the XKE. Jaguar knew they had to replace the power plant soon. However, many owners have retrofitted their Series II cars with SU carburetors to gain back some of the lost power.
