Here are two of the most beautiful cars ever made. The series 1 XKE e type coupe and roadster.
In this video, I'm going to tell you about 12 main differences, some obvious and some not so obvious.
We are ALL envious that you have these two girls in your garage! If I could only have one, I'll take the coupe. Cheers from Los Angeles.
Thank you for sharing your two lovely E-types and pointing out the differences, interesting. Keep doing more videos on your E’s, thanks.
Nicely presented and two wonderful examples. Congratulations
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.
It’s interesting the rear wheel well in the coupe has an inner liner down to the arch lip. The same liner in the roadster extends down half way.
Where do take your cars to be washed?? They’re absolutely immaculate! So shiny
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
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
Okay. I'll take both of them.
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
Which do you prefer to drive? Cheers :)
I can't imagine a 2 seat sports car not being a roadster, but damn, there is nothing sexier than an E-type coupe...if I had to choose...
what about the ash tray
Internal door handles on both cars are fitted upside down
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
all right - the difference is - you take the car with the most beautiful line in car history and chop its top off ...
How spoilt are you 😂having those two beautys to keep you happy and a 355 as well, that's just too much. The E Types look beautiful even in black.
