1972 Jaguar XKE Series III 2+2 Restomod

If you are a Jaguar purist, this may not be the XKE for you. If you're for dependable American iron, keep reading.

Dressed in Primrose Yellow, this car's paint and trim are in overall very good order while the bodywork is straight. The car's engine bay is very tidy and the chrome, wraparound bumpers fit tightly to the body. Made in Coventry, England, the short wheelbase fixed-head coupe body style was discontinued, with the Series 3 available only as a convertible and 2+2 coupé.

This big cat rolls on Dunlop Signature radials, size 205/70R15 at every paw. Each one is mounted on original knock-off wire wheels. The tires are in very good order while the wheels are in satisfactory order.

Under the big, forward-hinged bonnet is a 355 CID Chevrolet V-8 engine in place of Jaguar's 5.3L V-12. Backing this V-8 is a GM four-speed automatic transmission. Driver convenience features include four wheel disc brakes. Car is equipped with A/C but has no compressor.

Inside, the black Connolly Leather seats are in overall satisfactory condition and the driver's side has a large blemish. The matching carpet, headliner and dashboard are in similar order. Tach, fuel, oil, and temp gauges are inop. A big, three-spoke steering wheel faces the driver along with the inner door liners. A console-mounted shifter completes the interior.

The new longer wheelbase offered significantly more room in all directions. The Series 3 is easily identifiable by the large cross-slatted front grille, flared wheel arches, wider tires, four exhaust tips and a badge on the rear that proclaims it to be a V-12.

Cars for the US market were fitted with large projecting rubber bumper over-riders to meet local 5 mph impact regulations, but those on European models were considerably smaller. US models also have side indicator repeats on the front wings. The V-12 Open Two Seater and V-12 2+2 were factory fitted with Dunlop E70VR − 15-inch tires on 15 × 6K wire or solid wheels.
