The Build

The 1968 Jaguar E-Type, also known as the XKE Series 1.5 2+2, represents a transitional phase in the iconic E-Type's evolution. This particular model retained the sleek and distinctive design of its predecessors while incorporating several updates to enhance practicality and performance. The "2+2" designation signifies its increased seating capacity, accommodating two passengers in the front and two in the rear. Notable changes in the Series 1.5 include an enlarged grille opening, improved cooling, and revised dashboard layout. Under the hood, it typically featured a powerful 4.2-liter inline-six engine, delivering exhilarating performance characteristic of Jaguar sports cars. Despite being a departure from the purest form of the original E-Type, the Series 1.5 2+2 remains a sought-after classic, blending timeless styling with enhanced usability.
