1969 Jaguar XKE 2+2 Coupe - Iconic British Style with Thoughtful Performance Upgrades

Classic Cars of Sarasota is pleased to offer this elegant 1969 Jaguar XKE 2+2 Coupe, a legendary automobile often regarded as one of the most beautiful cars ever designed. Combining timeless British styling with carefully selected performance enhancements, this XKE delivers classic charm with improved drivability for today's roads.

Powering this Jaguar is the renowned 4.2-liter inline-six engine (257ci) featuring dual overhead camshafts and rated at 246 horsepower. The engine has been upgraded with Weber carburetors, providing improved throttle response and enhanced performance, and is paired with an upgraded 5-speed manual transmission, offering a more engaging and relaxed driving experience compared to the original gearbox. An oversized aluminum radiator helps ensure dependable cooling during extended drives.

Finished in a rich maroon exterior over a tan leather interior, this XKE presents beautifully and retains the refined elegance Jaguar is known for. Knock-off wire wheels and a wood-rimmed steering wheel add period-correct authenticity, while the Series II design elements-such as the larger grille and open headlight buckets-give the car its unmistakable presence.

Comfort and convenience have not been overlooked. This Jaguar is equipped with air conditioning, front seat headrests, and an aftermarket CD player with a detachable face, blending modern usability with vintage appeal.

Handling and braking are enhanced with front Wilwood disc brakes and rear drum brakes, providing confident stopping power while maintaining classic character.

This 1969 Jaguar XKE 2+2 Coupe is a wonderful blend of iconic design, upgraded performance, and thoughtful amenities-ideal for the enthusiast who appreciates classic motoring without sacrificing comfort and reliability.
