Manufacturer description

If you're looking for a Jaguar model in that distinctive green colour from 'way back when', check out the Oxford Diecast Jaguar E Type Racing Green in 1:76 Scale.

The Jaguar E-Type Series 1 was introduced in March 1961, using the triple SU carburetted 3.8 litre 6-cylinder Jaguar XK6 engine from the XK150S. The first 500 cars built had flat floors and external bonnet latches. These cars are rare and more valuable. After that, the floors were dished to provide more leg room and the twin hood latches moved to inside the car. The 3.8 litre engine was increased to 4.2 litres in late 1964. All E-Types featured independent coil spring rear suspension with torsion bar front ends, and four wheel disc brakes, in-board at the rear, power-assisted from 1964. Jaguar was one of the first auto manufacturer to equip cars with disc brakes as standard.

Oxford Diecast Jaguar E‑Type Racing Green – 1:76 scale model.
Manufacturer part number: 76ETYP001.

The model is a die‑cast replica of the Series 1 Jaguar E‑Type, finished in the traditional British Racing Green. It is produced to a 1:76 (OO) scale and is intended to represent a vehicle from the period denoted as British Rail Blue (Pre‑TOPS).

The real Series 1 E‑Type was first launched on 01/03/1961. It originally employed a triple SU‑carburetted 3.8 litre XK6 engine and featured a flat floor with external bonnet latches on the first 500 cars. From late 1964 the engine capacity was increased to 4.2 litres and power‑assisted disc brakes became standard. The model reproduces these characteristics in miniature form.
