Manufacturer description

The Oxford Diecast Jag E Type Silver Grey in 1:76 Scale is distinctive in colour and style. A model built for any Jaguar enthusiast.

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 Jaguar E‑Type Silver Grey – 1:76 scale model. The model carries the manufacturer part number 76ETYP003 and is presented in a distinctive silver‑grey finish. It is intended for collectors and enthusiasts of the Jaguar marque.

The Jaguar E‑Type Series 1 was introduced on 12 March 1961 and was originally fitted with a triple SU‑carburettored 3.8 litre six‑cylinder XK6 engine derived from the XK150S. The first 500 examples were built with flat floors and external bonnet latches; these early cars are considered rare and command higher values. Subsequent production models received a dished floor to increase legroom and the bonnet latches were relocated to the interior. In late 1964 the engine capacity was enlarged to 4.2 litres.

All E‑Type models were equipped with independent coil‑spring rear suspension, torsion‑bar front suspension and four‑wheel disc brakes, with the rear brakes mounted in‑board. Power‑assist for the brakes was introduced in 1964, making the car one of the first production automobiles to feature disc brakes as standard equipment.
