The plate chrome was needed on the roadster to compensate for the chrome that was lost surrounding the coupes rear window. I'd assume from a design standpoint that's also the case for the extra chrome on the roadsters door window line as well. I've been a car guy for 49 years and have always considered the E-Type to be in the top 5 most beautiful cars of all-time. You're examples are absolutely gorgeous and thank you for sharing them with us. Great video!

Was fortunate to meet 'Lofty' England, Jaguar design engineer at a car show in Australia. One item that struck me during a talk he gave was that E-Types rust in odd places because, due to the tightness of money in the UK after WWII, they saved on paint; because "If you couldn't see it, we didn't paint it"!
I’d have love’d to have met Lofty. It was shocking how fast cars rotted in those days. Not painting them explains things! That’s why Brits tend to start a resto on dry state American cars. They’re not rusted from the inside! Thanks for your wee story!
Very pretty! I had 2 E-Types, a Series 1 OTS and a Series 2 FHC back in the day when they cost $6,500 or $5,000 for a nice, well maintained car. They slipped through my hands 40 years ago. Now I'm trying to get another to re live my glory days. The problem is when I get close to having enough money to purchasing a nice one, the price rises! Still, it ain't over until it's over. There's still hope for me yet! I subscribed, keep these great videos coming. Your Jags are beautiful! Cheers from Connecticut in the States.
I hope so! I have been looking. A Series 1 OTS in good shape, unrestored but presentable with 75,000 miles is around $150,000 here in the States. Anything less expensive is a driver that needs a restoration job that will cost an additional $180K to 200K to bring back to factory new. I don't want to spend more than 200K for the best so I'm still looking. I have been saving for 7 years for the RIGHT E-Type Jaguar so I am really picky. Thanks for your response. By the way, I subscribed.@@sportscarstory
Very interesting. I wonder if the use of less chrome on the coupe was to visually shrink the rear end of the car for proportion's sake. Looking forward to seeing the 4.2 vs 3.8 differences. Stunning color on both of these cars! Cheers from Chicago
It was just my choice as I built that Etype for myself for touring. I wanted to be more comfortable, and it is also a good storage compartment- with my Aircon controls in there too. So but a bit sacrilegious, but easily reverted back to original look if necessary.
@@sportscarstory I see, nice choice! Yeah, there's no problem with bolt-on mods. The 3.8 from what I hear is the better engine, even though the rest of the changes to the 4.2 are preferable. I suppose you'd be the expert on that, having both in the stable. Have a great week!
Thanks. Yes the 4.2 is less prone to head gasket failure (I think the main reason they redesigned the head and separated the cylinders) but the extra torque of the 4.2 is matched by the free revving nature of the 3.8. My 4.2 roadster is sold now, so no more comparison videos.
@@sportscarstory Yes, I just saw your video of selling it. I've been going through your excellent channel, thank you. I dream of someday being on the other end of that transaction! Thank you, I did not know about the head gasket issue - though it does seem like a one-day job on that accessible motor so long as it didn't warp.
My introduction to the beautiful Jaguar XKE coupes and roadsters were the adverts in Esquire magazine back in the early 1960s. Always with a great photo layout but with a dated emphasis on these motorcars being a "man's car". I owned a used blue 1963 XKE roadster at a very young age and I thought I was the king of the roads driving with the ragtop down all over the San Francisco Bay Area.
I don't know the reason why the coupe doesn't have the chrome trim on the body beneath the window; however, its interesting that a chrome trim was indeed added to the coupe 2+2 variant. I imagine it was for design purposes in both cases. Thank you for posting your video.
I recall first seeing an E type in the early 1960's soon after it came out. It was unbelievably desirable and the envy of just about every young or older guy who saw it.
It wasn't for economy that the roadster boot trims were a uniform colour . The lighter colour gave an impression of depth and volume . If you look at your video , it gives the impression of capaciousness . Had it have been black it would have lost that impression . I noticed the heel boards on your roadster as you tipped the seats forward were scalloped . This allowed the seats to move further back to give more legroom . On the early cars those scallops were not empolyed . Norman Dewis being of short stature was quite happy with leg room so it was never an issue . These really are 2 cars l would be proud to have in my garage . Thanks
The Roadster also had a tendency to fall about in an accident. They would break off at the B post. Leaving the piece behind the seat separate. I pulled RTAs & took the occasional libation with chap from Jag Rectification.
@ If people were wearing seatbelts it could mean they ended up just sat there with the rear of the car separated. Once Jag has fixed the 2nd gear syncro they were a cracking drive I preferred them to Astons. Yes our family business was the motor trade.
@sportscarstory . Yes, as you probably know they were £2000 (about 60,000 now,) my brother had the brochure, my dad had a SS Jaguar at the time,green leather seats, push button starter, wire wheels,opening windscreen and sunroof, which is probably how he managed to acquire it from somewhere. It had a lovely smell inside, i can almost still smell the leather nearly eighty years later. There were some terrible motorway pileups in the fog in those days, it didn’t take much of a collision to put you in hospital in the early sixties (and before) and little or no “road accident aftercare scheme” until Dr Easton and his colleagues started one up, so by the time the Fire Brigade/local garage had pulled apart and extricated you from the bent metal the prognosis for a full recovery wasn’t so good as it is now.
@@sportscarstory Well that's very impressive! Typically the roadster variants of cars have noticeably poorer handling compared to their coupé counterparts
I have a question - In the early 70's I had a 3.8 FHC with 2.93:1 & the wide ratio Moss box. It would rev to 5800 in 4th. I have no reason to believe anything was modified, but the speedometer was not working, so no idea how fast I was going. Any ideas? The only car I have driven that I prefer is the Dino 246. Want another XK-E! Thanks for this video
I’m a coupe person too - the exception to me is the Murcielago roadster which is far more dramatic than the Coupe (terrible with the hood up though!) F types are awesome & a future classic. - could well be my next car. I’m not sure whether to go V8 or V6 manual.
@@sportscarstory thanks for response and awesome job on your E-Types. I tested a RWD V6 F-Type and didnt like it. Gutless compared to 2023 P450 I picked up in June 2022. (then traded the P450 for the P575 this past July)The V6 is actually V8 engine with 2 cylinder blocked off, so not much lighter. Manual would be awesome, (dont like using paddles, especially when cornering), however, the AWD (80% rear bias) is a must for the high HP engines.
3:15 - Breaking the cardinal rule of closing a trunk, overcoming resistance by forcing it closed. That resistance is how the trunk communicates something is preventing it from closing normally and needs attention before attempting to close it again. Forcing the trunk to close by pressing down hard as the narrator does risks damaging the securing mechanism or worse, could result in damage to the trunk lid due to a protruding object in the trunk bending the lid to enable closure.
It isn;t 'tall people' who look over the top of the roadster windscreen - I am six foot tall, but I have a relatively short body and long upper legs. So I am fine for looking through the windscreen but I can only JUST get enoug leg- room in my Series II roadster with the roof down, as the seat hits the hood frame. I could never fit in a Series I. Did Sir William never actually SIT in one of these cars?
@sportscarstory Knowing about the Series II seat height issue; I took the spacers out from under the drivers seat: When I began driving the car I had to refit them and even raise the seat higher than it was to start with.
In 1971, I was working and saving money for college. By the end of the summer I had saved $1,300 when I was tempted by an ad for an XKE for $1,300. I went to college. I think I made a mistake.
The ashtray is the same on the roadster and coupe - but changed on the 4.2 facelift. Please see my next video which is the difference between a 3.8 & s 4.2.
Oh ok. Thanks. I wouldn’t know! But I assumed that Phil at Heritage would. He’s been building XK’s and e’s for 40 years. I’ll call him & tease him on that. Thanks for watching!
and that wonderful design work, such a masterpiece… well at least until they put the steering wheel on the wrong side. To err is human and perfection doesn’t exist.
The coupe is stylish, the convertable is a bit garish and a bit too much bling. Never understood why the roadsters are so sought after. The coupe is beautiful
@@sportscarstory I was the joint owner of a Series 1 1/2 4.2 E Type and a MK IX back in the day (late 1970s), all very very beautiful but dissappeared in a costly unpleasant divorce.

Not a lot ! Mainly the roof and some chrome embellishments!
@@sportscarstory Well that's very impressive! Typically the roadster variants of cars have noticeably poorer handling compared to their coupé counterparts
Yes that’s right. The coupes have more structural integrity, though the Etype tub is surprisingly rigid.
Those two are the most beautiful interiors I've ever seen on restored e-types.
That’s very nice of you to say. Thanks for watching!
Would the chrome bit on top of the doors on the roadster reduce buffeting by the wind?
Perhaps. But I think it’s more aesthetic.
