One of the Top 5 most beautiful cars ever built.

Steve in VA · Oct 23, 2022

According to Enzo Ferrari, THE most beautiful car ever. I tend to agree.

Owned a hardtop XKE back in the early 70's lots of fun to drive but not a lot of power compared to the V8 of the time.

Mike(NEOhio) · Oct 23, 2022

I've had a thing for them since I was about 13 along with the whole XK series.

The V8 couldn't keep up with the xke's top end.
I had a 1962 XKE.
Beautiful high maintenance woman.

From the father's day show at Stan Hywett Hall a few years back. Not me with the sandwich.

My 65 GTO would leave the JAG in the dust

Dean · Oct 23, 2022

Indeed, it would, as would any muscle car in the quarter mile.

Just about any SHP Corvette (except those set up for drag racing with very low rear axle gears) had higher top speeds as well.

Until the first tight curve!

Haw , my old 61 Ford Sunliner with the 3.25 rear bolted in that 9 inch with the little old hand built 390 Tri power would dine on a XKE off the line and on top end as it loved to chew on my one friends 63 1/2 Gali.500 with the 427 dual quads . even my 68 Road runner would handle them . Not much from across the pond back in the fun days could match good old U S A V 8 performance . Loved the old 61 as she was such a sleeper vary quiet exhaust , learned all about loud exhaust with my 56 not many noticed the 61 sat a little higher due to the suspension under it , no body saw the traction bars or sway bars . But what they did notice when coming off the line was the ft. tires were in the air.

Very stylish cars. Neighbor back in late 60s had a XKE something plus an Austin Healy 3000. Didnt care how fast they went or handling. They were chick magnets on Friday and Saturday nights cruising Central.

Except for the 2+2 model. They did something odd to the shape of that!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! The roof line didn't flow right

NIK OWEN · Oct 23, 2022

SO, THE VETTES REACHED 153 MPH??...WITH JATO??...BE BLESSED, GRATEFUL, PREPARED..

Dean · Oct 24, 2022

NO.

Nor did the XKE.

I don't think any Jag dealerships ever advertised their cars as the fastest ones on he planet did they? Just a nice, spirited British sports cars ..... with the numerous warts and glitches that went along with your purchase. For those that are comparing their memories of owning some American V8 muscle, those boasts plus a couple of bucks will get you a cup of coffee. Personally I always liked Jag styling but the ones mentioned here never did much for me for whatever reason.
