Buying or Selling a Vintage 1969 Jaguar XKE?

1969 Jaguar XKEThe 1969 Jaguar XKE marked the release of the Jaguar XKE / E-Type Series 2 models, which had all of the modifications required by the United States for safety and emissions control that were addressed in the Series 1 models. Manufactured from 1969 to 1971, from the front the Series 2 models can be recognized by a larger grill opening and the repositioning of the front signal lights. Brakes were also upgraded and radial tires became standard equipment on the 1969 Jaguar. As with the earlier Series 1 cars, the interior saw changes that included dash-mounted toggle switches replaced with rocker switches that were deemed safer in the case of an accident. From the back, the 1969 Jaguar XKE can be recognized by larger tail lights, which sat under the rear wrap-around bumper. Perhaps one of the most interesting changes one that is often modified back to original is the wheel knock-off nut. 1968 U.S. safety laws no longer allowed for a winged-spinner knock-off, and any model sold in the United States would have a hexagonal knock-off nut, to be hammered on and off with the help of a special socket that was included with the car from the factor. This hexagonal nut would be carried on into the later Series 2 and Series 3 cars, but would now apply to the home market as well.

The Series 2 XKE’s would see approximately 18,808 models released from 1969 to 1971, including Roadster, Fixed Head Coupe and Fixed Head Coupe 2+2 body styles.
