1971 Jaguar XKE Series II 4.2 OTS

The Series II XKE is very desirable because of its comfortable reclining seats, improved cooling system, and dual fans on the radiator. This is the end of the 6 cylinder XKE era. Leaping cat emblems were only placed on the side of the 1971 XKE bonnet and are a very unique addition and symbol of this series. While the Series II E-type was more radically altered than its interim predecessor, the essential construction remained the same and the body work differed only in detail. Modifications were made to the front of the bonnet, increasing the size considerably, the headlamp scoops were altered so that the inner walls now splayed inwards and the side/flasher were rather larger and positioned below the raised bumper. The vehicle also received heavier front bumper blades, motif bar, front and rear over-riders were changed, new square number plate at the rear, a different grille was used in the rear of the bonnet bulge, and the washer jets were finished in satin chrome to avoid the risk of dangerous reflections. This is your golden opportunity to buy one of the last 6 cylinders made in 1971 before the 12 cylinder replaced it.
