Manufacturer description

The Oxford Diecast Jaguar E Type in Carmen Red is available in 1:76 Scale. This model is striking in both colour and design.

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.

Catalogue listing

Oxford Diecast's Jaguar E‑Type in Carmen red is offered in 1:76 scale. The model carries the manufacturer part number 76ETYP002 and is listed as representing the British Rail Blue (Pre‑TOPS) period.

The Jaguar E‑Type Series 1 was launched in March 1961, fitted with a triple SU‑carburetted 3.8‑litre six‑cylinder XK6 engine sourced from the XK150S. The initial production run of 500 cars featured flat floors and external bonnet latches; these early examples are now regarded as rare and more valuable. Subsequent models received a dished floor for increased legroom and internalised hood latches, and the engine capacity was enlarged to 4.2 litres in late 1964.

All E‑Types were equipped with independent coil‑spring rear suspension, torsion‑bar front suspension and four‑wheel disc brakes, with rear brakes mounted in‑board. From 1964 the cars also offered power‑assisted braking, making Jaguar one of the first manufacturers to provide standard disc brakes.
