160 Jaguar E Type (Series 1) 4.2 litre Coupe (1966) LPA 2 D by Robert Knight Via Flickr: Jaguar E Type Series 1 4.2ltr Coupe (1965-68) Engine 4235cc S6 DOC Production 7681 Registration Number LPA 2 D (Surrey) JAGUAR ALBUM www.flickr.com/photos/45676495@N05/albums/72157623671588245/ The Series 1 E type was initially launched for export only in March 1961, before a July 1961 release onto the domestic market, The cars at this time used the triple SU carburetted 3.8-litre six-cylinder Jaguar XK6 engines and were available as a Roadster or fixed head Coupe. The 3.8 litre engine was replaced by a 4.2 litre version of the XK engine in October 1964 with the same power output and top speed but with increased torque. The 2+2 Coupe was added to the range in 1966, longer by 9 inches than the standard Mk.1 Coupe, and with extra height, and altered roof angles, a proper rear door and increased luggage space, and occasional rear seats. The roadster and the non 2+2 FHC (Fixed Head Coupe) remained as two-seaters. Powered by the redesigned 4.2 ltr introduced to the Coupe in 1965 with better bottom end torque and mid range pick up, plus sycromesh. Radial ply tyres standard. Series 2 features were gradually introduced into the Series 1, creating the unofficial Series 1½ cars, but always with the Series 1 body style. A United States federal safety law affecting 1968 model year cars sold in the US was the reason for the lack of headlight covers and change in dash switch design in the Series 1.5 of 1968.
