Is it possible that a '67 2+2 came with the 3 SU carbs, the S1 style dash, but open headlights with the wider mouth on the bonnet, or do I have a replacement bonnet along the way?

Not to state the obvious, but the Series 3 was made between 1971 and 1974, not 1969 to 1971 . . .

Does any one have any idea as to how many E types were Exported to India. And I read some where that a very few series 3 had a 4.2 engine- could this be ture .

2009-02-06 07:24:42 | Craig Balzer writes:

According to Philip Porter in “Jaguar E-Type: The Definitive History” (page 698-9) there were only two E-Types exported to India:

1 – in May of 1963 a Fixed Head Coupe went to Calcutta
1 – in 1969 another Fixed Head Coupe went to New Delhi

As to Series III E-type with the 4.2 liter 6-cylinder reports vary from 0 to 4 to 6. Porter reports on pg 477 of the above tome that there wee 3. Whatever the correct answer the 6-cylinder looked lost in the much wider-spread frame rails that accommodated the V12; again to quote Porter: “there was almost an embarrassment of room in comparison with the 5.3 liter power unit.”

Great site, it was very nice looking at the over view of models when i realised that my car GFX 131D Pale primrose 2+2 was being used and it looks great. About to have the car back 2nd week march with its newly rebuilt engine, new frames and converted auto to manual.

What a great site! Does anyone know the car number for the last flat floor series 1?

Of course a number of 67 2+2's had triple SU carburetors, just like mine. I would love to find a 71 with the 6 cyl. engine. I like the flaired fenders, and they look like they could take more wheel and tire. Did you ever look at an E headon? The tires are lost under that body. Tires that small are known as weenies.

There was a handful of 1968 Canadian Series 1.5s shipped from the factory with triple SUs but most came with the US Federal spec Zenith Stromberg carburetors and attendant anti-smog equipment. All Canada- destined E-types were shipped with block heaters installed as standard equipment from mid-1968 on. Beyond that, no differences at all.

On Series II 2+2, I see bonnets with side directional lights and some without. Mine does not. What is the difference? I am not sure mine is the original bonnet. Thanks.

Gonna sound sacreligious but ... I have a 1974 OTS (my 10th and last XKE) which I love because of the wider doors, fender flares, etc, but I do not like the 12 cylinder ... too difficult to work on. I would like to know if anyone might know of the feasability / difficulty of replacing it with a 4.2 w/ triple SU setup ... same / different sub frames, etc ?

My 1970 has a plate in the drivers door stating 8-70 as manufaturing date and a number below that is 1R28540. It's supposed to be a 1970 xke 2+2, but my numbers don't fall in your categories as that. Something awry here?

Which models EXACTLY were built or sold in 1967. I know I like (luv) the 67 Jag, confused which one. It's my dream car. ALL I remember as a kid is that it's front heavy. Like if a giant put his index finger on the hood, it would tip. The headlights are open not covered. Please help! Which one is it?
Thanks in advance for your input....

I have a 1971 series II xke ots.
Vin # 2r13988

How can I find the original color?

I have just bought a 1968 etype vin 1E77479. Apparently it just comes in under the wire to be a series 1.
I want to restore it (or go broke trying) to it's original colour scheme. Try as I might I cannot seem to find out those details. It has a dark blue interior and Some fool gave it a grey paint job but I think I can see some blue around the edges...Opalescent silver blue maybe.
If I change the interior to red am I doing the car a disservice and lessening its value?
Any input appreciated. Thanks

I hav seen this question posted a few times, with no response. Does anyone know the total amount of open flat floor cars that were produced?

And also, would anyone know the highest vin number of the flat floors?

Hi, does anybody know on S2 cars when the data plate was switched from the right side of the engine bay near the airfilter to left side next to the battery. Also when was the data plate itself changed to the later style. Many thanks Kris

As of January 1, 1968 American export E Types had twin Zenith-Stromberg carburettors and exhaust gas recirculation. However, some Series II cars in 1969, such as mine, left the factory with twin carbs but no exhaust gas recirculation. Does anyone know why?  It is my understanding that the American regulations were federal, as in nationwide...so how come some Series II actually left the factory with no EGR?  My car is Canadian, but rather than make assumptions I would like to know if someone knows for sure why it had no manifold between the rear exhaust and the inlet/intake manifold?... This doesn't seem to be rare. I have seen lots of cars with the factory blockage on the intake manifold. Thank you and I hope to hear from someone in-the-know.

Hello there, your site is great. I look for records of all E-TYPE chassis with as wide a detail as possible for each record (engine number, model, subtypes, steering side and more).

Searching in Excel or SPSS format. Thank you for your reference

Great site. My 1970 OTS LHD Series 2 had a Dunlop SP Sport Radial 185VR15 in the boot. Would that be the original spare? I'm in process with bringing this vehicle to survivor status and would like to know what type of tire (tyre) would be on a car 1R11625 of that era.
