From Arizona sun to Colorado hail — every DaShield cover is pressure-tested before it ships.
Why this vehicle needs the right cover
The Jaguar E-Type — sold in North America as the XKE — spans three production series and fourteen years, each with dimensional differences that make a single generic "XKE cover" inadequate. The Series 1 and Series 2 roadster measures 175.3 inches. The Series 3 V12 roadster grew to 182.5 inches — the V12 engine required a hood approximately six inches longer than the six-cylinder version, and a cover patterned to Series 1/2 dimensions will pull tight across the Series 3's hood hinge line. The 2+2 Coupe, offered across all three series, adds 9.1 inches of overall length at 184.4 inches total.
Beyond dimensions, the Series 1's glass headlight fairings — painted fiberglass covers over the headlamp assemblies — are among the most vulnerable components on any surviving E-Type. NOS replacements cost $800–$3,000 per side when available. Any cover fabric that contacts these fairings without a soft inner facing creates micro-abrasion against the painted surface during each installation and removal cycle.
Any surviving E-Type in original condition is a six-to-seven-figure asset. The period lacquer finishes — British Racing Green, Opalescent Silver Blue, Regency Red — are irreplaceable once damaged. DaShield covers for the XKE are series-specific and body-style-specific, with inner fabric construction selected to protect original painted surfaces.
Jaguar XKE cover priorities
Engineered for the Jaguar XKE
For a compact, midsize, or full-size car parked outdoors in a humid or rainy climate, three engineering priorities define the correct cover selection.
First, two-directional moisture management. The breathable woven laminate blocks liquid water from entering while allowing water vapor to exit outward. This is the property that prevents the condensation cycle — moisture in the enclosed air depositing on cooler paint surfaces at night — from accumulating under the cover. Non-woven polypropylene and sealed PVC covers have low vapor transmission rates. They block rain and trap condensation equally. The woven construction resolves both directions as a single fabric design rather than a compromise between them.
Second, all-climate performance without humidity degradation. The Ultimum and Vanguard UHD are designed for continuous use in high-humidity, high-precipitation environments. Florida's five-month wet season, the Pacific Northwest's 150-plus annual precipitation days, and salt-air coastal exposure do not degrade the woven laminate's vapor transmission function. The cover maintains its breathable waterproof performance without a humidity ceiling.
Third, size-class fit for compact, midsize, and full-size cars. DaShield maps compact, midsize, and full-size passenger cars as separate sizing categories — windshield rake angle, roofline height, and trunk profile differ across the IIHS size classification range. The correct size class produces a cover that seats properly at the mirror and rocker anchor points without billowing in coastal wind conditions or pulling tight at the windshield.
Ultimum covers compact and midsize cars at $209.99, full-size at $219.99, with a Lifetime warranty. Vanguard UHD covers the same vehicle categories at $179.99 and $199.99 with a 5-Year warranty. Both use identical breathable woven laminate construction. Care for all woven outdoor covers: wipe-down with damp cloth only — machine washing degrades the laminate barrier and voids the warranty.
