Market commentary
It's time to make this observation again: When the XKE (or E-Type for Brits and Europeans) burst upon the scene at Geneva in 1961 it was the fixed head coupe that made the first impression. The first roadster arrived in Geneva a few days later, but the thunder had been stolen by the coupe. Sleek, balanced, svelte and sublime, the XKE Coupe was what broke onto the world in March 1961. An early flat floor, welded hood louver, outside bonnet latch XKE coupe with a meticulous restoration to 100pt standards and still outstanding. It was sold here three years ago in 2019 for $626,500 and brought essentially the same price today which is determinative even if it is as extravagant as the restoration.
