Default XKE Road & Track Road Test
I found this and posted it in the Facebook XKE forum but thought you folks might enjoy it. It is the Road Test, when new, of the 1968 Jaguar XK-E Coupe and it is a hoot:

I get the feeling he liked it. It sounded to me as they we're playing a soundtrack of a "V8 something" as I've never heard a straight six anything, especially a Jag sound like that. MMMMM!!!

I think he liked it a lot. Clearly they seemed to have only one mode in that video, flat out. I got a kick out of watching it, hope you did as well.

Typical of the slide around the corner driving style of the bias-ply tire era too. Fun to watch.
