Classic Jaguars of the 1960’s

Classic 1960’s Jaguar

Having seen much success during the 1950’s with the XK series, which included the production of the XK120, XK140 and XK150, British car manufacturer Jaguar had already formed a strong reputation for stylish and powerful sports cars. And, while the beginning of the 1960’s would bring about change for the brand, its reputation within the automotive industry would remain pristine. During this time, the illustrious XK serious would stop production of the XK150 in 1961 and the highly anticipated XKE or Jaguar E-Type would launch onto the automotive scene. More technologically advanced than its predecessors, the Jaguar XKE would feature four-wheel disc brakes, an overhead cam engine and independent suspension. With uncompromising beauty, impressive style and grace, and unyielding power, the XKE would go on to see a production run spanning more nearly 15 years and more than 70,000 units produced.

Classic Jaguar XK150:

Having been introduced in 1957 as the replacement to the XK140, the XK150 would be available as a Fixed Head Coupe and Drop Head Coupe, as well as a Roadster starting in 1958. Classic car collectors and Jaguar enthusiasts often turn to the XK150, as it featured all the advancements and technological upgrades that would come down the line throughout the XK series. The 1960’s Jaguar XK150 models would offer a 3.4L engine, which was capable of offering 220hp in the standard tune and 265hp in the S model. If you’re thinking about buying an XK150, or any classic Jaguar of the 1960’s, always be sure to conduct a thorough inspection for rust. These models received little to no rust protection at the time of the manufacturing and are very susceptible to corrosion.

 

Classic Jaguar XKE or E-Type:

In fact, even Enzo Ferrari would call the XKE the most beautiful car ever made. Launched in 1961 at the Geneva Motor Show, more than five years of product development would go into the XKE and would be based heavily on the racing Jaguars of the time, especially the D-Type. By pairing exceptional beauty and styling with raw power and performance, the XKE has become highly sought-after. If you’re thinking about buying a 1960’s classic Jaguar XKE, be sure to authenticate the model as an original and always be prepared to check for rust.
