History
The Series 1 was introduced, initially for export only, in March 1961. The domestic market launch came four months later in July 1961. It can be recognized by glass covered headlights (up to 1967), small "mouth" opening at the front, signal lights and tail-lights above bumpers and exhaust tips under the license plate in the rear. The earlier Series 1 E-types from 1961-3 are some of the most desirable of all the Series; It is a timeless example of class and elegance joined with the strong racing history that Jaguar has become so well known for.
