Its combination of good looks, high performance, and competitive pricing resulted in a great success for Jaguar, with more than 70,000 XKE's being sold over its lifespan. The car, technically referred to as the E-Type Jaguar, has become an icon of 1960's motoring.
The Series 1 was introduced in March 1961, using the triple SU carbureted 3.8-liter 6-cylinder Jaguar XK6 engine from the XK150S. The first 500 cars built had flat floors and external hood 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-ltier engine was increased to 4.2-liters in late 1964.
All E-Types featured independent rear suspension with torsion bar front ends and power-assisted disc brakes. Jaguar was the first auto manufacturer to equip cars with disc brakes as standard. The Series 1 can be recognized by glass covered headlights (up to 1967), the small 'mouth' opening at the front, signal lights and tail-lights above bumpers, and exhaust tips under the license plate in the rear.
