Manufacturer description

If you're collecting all things Union Jack, the Oxford Diecast Jaguar E Type Union Jack in 1:76 Scale is a good addition to your collection.

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.

The real Jaguar E‑Type Series 1 was launched on 1 March 1961, fitted with a triple SU carburettor 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. Subsequent production introduced dished floors for increased legroom and moved the bonnet latches to the interior. In late 1964 the engine capacity was increased to 4.2 litres, and power‑assisted disc brakes became standard. All versions employed independent coil‑spring rear suspension, torsion‑bar front suspension and rear in‑board disc brakes.
