Description
The Series I E-Type was introduced initially for export-only in March 1961 using the triple SU carburetted, 3.8-litre, six-cylinder XK engine from the XK150S.
The car continued to be developed over time, with the first major changes arriving in 1964, including an increased capacity to 4.2-litres.
There was never a fixed specification or official designation for this interim model, although with the arrival of the officially-named 'Series 2', the early cars became Series Is and the interim cars, logically, Series 1.5.
These cars can be recognised by their open headlights, small 'mouth' air intake, the exhaust tips under the number plate at the rear and the tail lights and indicators above the bumpers.
It is undoubtedly one of the rarest variations of the E-Type, with enthusiasts claiming that it is the best-driving and most nimble derivative.
The 4.2-litre engine and all-synchromesh gearbox offers increased power and usability whilst retaining the fabulous looks of the earlier cars...
