Full description coming soon...but here is a quick read from Harold Pace / autoMedia.com:
It's hard to imagine a car today having the kind of impact on modern culture that the XKE had in the early 1960s. It was a wild and free time—mini skirts, French bikinis, Andy Warhol and the Beatles were just some of the symbols of an era when creativity, not productivity, were in the forefront of the news. The automotive industry was lagging behind the times: the 1961 Corvette, the Porsche 356 and the various MGs and Triumphs were hold-overs from the 1950s. Then, suddenly, there was the XKE!
E-Ticket
Jaguar sprang this tour de force on the public at the 1961 Geneva Auto
Show, where it absolutely stole the show. The XKE borrowed stylistically
and mechanically from the famous Le Mans-winning D-Type Jaguars, but to
keep costs down many of its components were pulled from the Jag production
parts bin. The body, though, was like nothing anyone had ever seen. Smooth
and balanced, the Jaguar E-Type (known in the U.S. as the XKE) swept back
from covered headlights to a long hood, ending with a gently rounded tail.
There were two models, a coupe that was perhaps more stylish and a sporty
roadster.
