You are welcome. I agree 100% TriX, the E Type was one of the most beautiful car designs ever!

Hmmm...only two carbs? My '67 had three. I really miss driving that car.
Maybe they changed the design from one year to the next??? Thanks for viewing flip1948.

This from Road and Track:
“ The E-type came in three basic models or "series." Series 1 cars were built from 1961 to 1967 in both roadster (officially open two-seater, or OTS) and coupe (fixed-head coupe, or FHC) body styles, with covered headlights and taillights above the rear bumpers.In 1966, a two-plus-two style was added, with a nine-inch-longer body and an unfortunate roofline. The 1961–64 cars had 3.8-liter XK power, and 1965–67s had the larger 4.2-liter version of the XK engine, all with triple SU carburetors. 1968 saw an unofficial "Series 1.5" version with open headlights, twin Stromberg carburetors, and other changes to comply with new U.S. regulations. Series 2 cars were produced from 1968 to 1971 in OTS, FHC, and two-plus- two configurations, all with the 4.2-liter six-cylinder engine, continuing with two carburetors, open headlights, and larger taillights below a single wraparound rear bumper. Series 3 cars were produced from 1971 to 1974. The big news was the 5.3-liter V-12 engine, offering the turbine smoothness you'd expect from 12 tiny cylinders. It gets a bad rap but is actually a great engine handicapped by packaging and emissions controls.”

I knew that the E type had 3 different models or series but not all the particulars that were involved. Thanks much for the education Chris.
