1972 Jaguar XKE

Now for sale in our Houston Showroom is this red 1972 Jaguar XKE. The E-Type is one of the icons of its generation as it made great head way with the high performance, low pricing, and sleek beauty all in one.

This ’72 XKE features the strong and original 5.3L V12 which is still in great running condition. It's stated by the owner that the mileage is original to the car, however the engine has been rebuilt. The engine was rebuilt roughly 10,000 miles ago along with the rear differential. What was done to the engine was the stock pistons removed and replaced with forged 10.5 compression Venolia pistons and rings. High lift and duration cam shafts were also installed. The engine is mated up to a Richmond Racing 6-speed manual transmission which allows you to run through the powerband with a smile on your face. This car may not be the cleanest of the Jaguars out there but a great driver and a good start into the classic car world.

A survivor is the best way to describe this ’72 Jaguar XKE that we have here for sale. With a few blemishes, it simply adds history to the car and shows that even after 47 years a car can still run like a champ.

The interior has been completely restored less than 6 months ago and is in great condition. The tan vinyl interior has been restored to replicate the original leather interior the car had. Sitting in the driver’s seat feels like you’re sitting in a cockpit to a fighter jet. With the main control panel centered on the dash you can see it gives it that aircraft feel.
