1965 Jaguar E-type Series 1 4.2 2+2
The Series 1 4.2 Litre E-type was built from 1964 to 1968. Its chassis numbers carry a 1E prefix.
Model year needs verification: this serial block was also used in
1966. This number falls where the 1965 and 1966 years meet; the published tables do not fix the exact boundary.
Built 1965 (approx.): this decoder reports a build year, not a model year.
