It is March 14, 1961 at around 7:30 p.m., in Coventry a man gets into a car, his order to be in Geneva punctually the next morning, he will drive all night long. His name is Bob Berry, second man in the PR department at Jaguar, his destination is the Geneva Motor Show, his car the new Jaguar sports car, which is to be presented to the broad mass of the populace there. In the USA, it will be known as the Jaguar XK-E, in Europe it will write automotive history under the name Jaguar E-Type. For 5 years, Jaguar has been developing a completely new vehicle, which has nothing in common with its predecessors. Initially, it is planned for use on race tracks such as Le Mans, but will also be included in the product portfolio. Its roots come from C-Type and D-Type development. Therefore, no one is surprised that his spiritual fathers are William Munger Heynes and Malcolm Sayer. Sayer, who was one of the first to design vehicles based on aerodynamic aspects and Heynes, who developed a self-supporting body, also called monocoque, in search of weight reduction. The monocoque ends at the bulkhead and is screwed there with a steel mesh tubular frame, which serves as a carrier for the engine and the front suspension. The engine used is the 3.8 liter in-line six-cylinder from the Jaguar XK150S, which accelerates the E-Type due to some improvements up to 240 km/h at 6140 rpm. The rear suspension is housed under the body in its own frame with trailing arm, internal disc brakes, spring dampers and drive shaft. This can be easily installed and removed as an independent unit. With its long bonnet, which encloses the entire front area and opens tilted forward, it impresses with a brilliant design and will one day make it to the Museum of Modern Art (MoMA) in New York.

In Geneva only as a demonstration car, the US debut of the E-Type took place in April 1961 in New York, this time also with the Roadster (OTS). From June 1962, there was finally more space in the Roadster due to the modification of the bulkhead and the associated extended seat adjustment. One month later, an elegant, black plastic hardtop comes onto the market for a small extra charge. From September 1964, the roadster was also officially equipped with the more powerful 4.2 liter engine, which was originally intended only for the Jaguar Mark X. Thanks to the American market and the long production period, the roadster remains the best-selling Jaguar among the E-types.

construction time, prices, production figures and vehicle numbers
From March 1961 to July 1968, 17379 vehicles were built. Of these, there were 7830 vehicles with the 3.8 liter engine until August 1964. 9549 vehicles will be equipped with the 4.2 liter engine. A total of 2126 right-hand-drive (RHD) vehicles and 15253 left-hand-drive (LHD) vehicles will be produced by the end of production. The base price in the UK is £2097.-. In October 1964, the 4.2 litre engine was added, from which point on the base price was £ 1896.-.
With the introduction of the new 4.2 litre engine, the body, chassis and engine numbers are divided into two areas. The first part is a combination of a number and a letter. The "4" stands for the body, the "1" for the chassis and the "7" for the engine. The "E" stands for the Jaguar E-Type Series 1. The second part is a serial number of at least 4 digits.
The body numbers do not distinguish between left or right steered vehicles, they are numbered consecutively and start with R1001, from October 1964 with 4E 1001.
The chassis numbers continue to consist at the beginning of 6 digit number combinations and differ in those for vehicles with right-hand drive (RHD) starting with the number 850xxx and for vehicles with left-hand drive (LHD) starting with the number 875xxxx. From October 1964 the chassis number consists of 7-digit number combinations and differ in those for vehicles with right-hand drive (RHD) starting with the number 1E 1xxx and for vehicles with left-hand drive (LHD) starting with the Number 1E 10xxx. Certain chassis numbers have additional letter designations before and after the number and letter combination. These have the following meaning:Chassis numbers with a leading "P" stand for vehicles with a built-in steering boost. "P" stands for the term "power steering".Chassis numbers with a trailing "DN" stand for vehicles with built-in "overdrive"." DN" stands for the inventor of the Laycock Overdrive, De Normanville.BuiltChassis No. RHDQuantityChassis No. LHDQuantityBody No.*CommentAug. 61 to Dec. 613271470R1003 to R2789Jan. 62 to Dec. 623182392R2801 to R5530Jan. 63 to Dec. 63850646 to 850807162878863 to 8808071945R5542 to R7638No. 850659, 850660, 850661, 850662, 850663, 850664, 850665, 850666, 850667, 850668, 850669 remaining 11 Lightwights / No. 850677 another test vehicleJan. 64 to Aug. 64850808 to 850943136880808 to 8818871080R7641 to R8842Aug. 64 to Dec. 641E 1001 to 1E 1077771E 10001 to 1E 104404404E 1001 to 4E 1496first XKE1 (E-Type) with 4.2 liter engineJan. 65 to Dec. 651E 1078 to 1E 14343571E 10441 to 1E 1234719074E 1525 to 4E 3783Jan. 66 to Dec. 661E 1435 to 1E 17042701E 12348 to 1E 1447121244E 3795 to 4E 6206Jan. 67 to Dec. 672901E 14472 to 1E 1665221814E 6239 to 4E 8682No. 1E 1864 and No. 1E 15980 are from July/August the first vehicles without headlights double glazing, one calls the series from now on 1.5Jan. 68 to Sept. 681891E 16653 to 1E 1836617144E 8700 to 4E 10465* the bodies were not married to the chassis due to production, so the numbers shown show the lowest or highest body number found in the respective year on http://www.xkedata.com. This gives you a rough assessment of whether the body and chassis are consistent with each other in a direct comparison.The engine numbers are not listed here, as depending on the order they are not only installed in OTS models, but in all Jaguar XKE types, they start with the designation R1001 for the 3.8 liter engines, from February 1963 the designations begin with RA1001. According to research in the Jaguar archives, the last engines probably bear the number R9877 and RA6922. The suffix -9 after the number describes the compression ratio of the engine. With the introduction of the 4.2 liter engine, they begin with the designation 7E 1001. -

The coupé was presented to the public in Geneva in 1961. Series production does not begin until August 1961, after another six vehicles, which are produced in the body shop of prototype production. The body is completely identical to that of the roadster. The roof construction comes from Bob Blake, the "metal artist" that Briggs Cunningham once had pulled, it scores with Sir William Lyons right away. Due to the stepless rear, there is considerable space for luggage in the rear, almost like in a station wagon. The coupé is also a bit faster in acceleration from 0 to 160 km/h. From September 1964 he also gets the 4.2 liter engine.

construction time, prices, production figures and vehicle numbers
From March 1961 to July 1968, 15439 vehicles were built. By August 1964, 7669 of these vehicles had been built with the 3.8 litre engine. 7770 vehicles will be equipped with the 4.2 liter engine. A total of 3757 right-hand-drive (RHD) vehicles and 11686 left-hand-drive (LHD) vehicles will be produced by the end of production. The base price in the UK is £2196.-. In October 1964 the 4.2 litre engine was added, from this point on the base price was £ 1992.-.
With the introduction of the new 4.2 litre engine, the body, chassis and engine numbers are divided into two areas. The first part is a combination of a number and a letter. The "4" stands for the body, the "1" for the chassis and the "7" for the engine. The "E" stands for the Jaguar E-Type Series 1. The second part is a serial number of at least 4 digits.
The body numbers do not distinguish between left or right hand drive vehicles, they are numbered consecutively and start with V1001, from October 1964 with 4E 20001.
The chassis numbers continue to consist at the beginning of 6 digit number combinations and differ in those for vehicles with right-hand drive (RHD) starting with the number 860xxx and for vehicles with left-hand drive (LHD) starting with the number 885xxx. From October 1964 the chassis number consists of 7-digit number combinations and differ in those for vehicles with right-hand drive (RHD) starting with the number 1E 20xxx and for vehicles with left-hand drive (LHD) starting with the Number 1E 30xxx. Certain chassis numbers have additional letter designations before and after the number and letter combination. These have the following meaning:Chassis numbers with a leading "P" stand for vehicles with a built-in steering boost. "P" stands for the term "power steering".Chassis numbers with a trailing "DN" stand for vehicles with built-in "overdrive"."

This gives you a rough assessment of whether the body and chassis are consistent with each other in a direct comparison.The engine numbers are not listed here, as depending on the order they are not only installed in FHC models, but in all Jaguar XKE types, they start with the designation R1001 for the 3.8 liter engines, from February 1963 the designations begin with RA1001. According to research in the Jaguar archives, the last engines probably bear the number R9877 and RA6922. The suffix -9 after the number describes the compression ratio of the engine. With the introduction of the 4.2 liter engine, they begin with the designation 7E 1001. -

The 2+2 Coupé was launched 5 years later, with the introduction of the 4.2 litre engine. It was not presented to the public until March 1966, although at the request of Sir William Lyon, they had been experimenting with different, more spacious "mock-ups" since 1961. These will later become the Jaguar types XJ4 and XJ6. In the end, you stay with an E-Type Coupé with a longer wheelbase and more spacious monocoque in which two emergency seats are installed in the font, who can be folded away if necessary. Due to the longer transmission tunnel, there is also room to install an automatic transmission, which is eagerly awaited, especially in America.

construction time, prices, production figures and vehicle numbers
From September 1965 to July 1968, 4600 vehicles were built. A total of 1379 right-hand-drive (RHD) vehicles and 3221 left-hand-drive (LHD) vehicles will be produced by the end of production. The base price in the UK is £2245.-.
The body, chassis and engine numbers are divided into two areas. The first part is a combination of a number and a letter. The "4" stands for the body, the "1" for the chassis and the "7" for the engine. The "E" stands for the Jaguar E-Type Series 1. The second part is a serial number of at least 4 digits.
The body numbers do not distinguish between left or right steered vehicles, they are numbered consecutively and start with 4E 50001.
The chassis numbers consist of 7-digit number combinations and differ in those for right-hand drive vehicles (RHD) starting with the number 1E 50xxx and for vehicles with left-hand drive (LHD) starting with the number 1E 75xxx. Certain chassis numbers have additional letter designations before and after the number and letter combination. These have the following meaning:Chassis numbers with a leading "P" stand for vehicles with a built-in steering boost. "P" stands for the term "power steering".Chassis numbers with a trailing "DN" stand for vehicles with built-in "overdrive"." DN" stands for the inventor of the Laycock Overdrive, De Normanville.Chassis numbers with a trailing "BW" stand for vehicles with built-in automatic transmission from the 4.2 liter engine. "BW" stands for the manufacturer Borg Warner.The engine numbers can be assigned directly to the 2+2 Coupé. They begin with the designation 7E 50001. The suffix -9 after the number describes the compression ratio of the engine.BuiltChassis No. RHDQuantityChassis No. LHDQuantityBody No.*Engine No.*CommentSept. 65 to Dec. 651E 50001 to 1E 500202094E 50006 to 4E 500187E 50012 to 7E 50021Jan. 66 to Dec. 666551E 75010 to 1E 769859764E 50019 to 4E 526737E 50023 to 7E 526491E 75032 converted to RoadsterJan. 67 to Dec. 671E 50676 to 1E 511164411E 76986 to 1E 778598744E 52675 to 4E 539487E 52658 to 7E 53934No. 1E 50975 and No. 1E 77709 are the first vehicles of the series 1.5 from July/AugustJan. 68 to Sept. 681E 51117 to 1E 513792631E 77860 to 1E 7922113624E 53886 to 4E 556057E 54005 to 7E 55603* the bodies and engines were not married to the chassis due to production, so the numbers shown show the lowest or highest body or engine number found in the respective year on http://www.xkedata.com.
