For sale: 1967 Series I (2+2 coupe) E-Type Jaguar

The format of the GTS chassis number will depend on the vehicle's build date as outlined below:⁵⁶

Early vehicles (possibly up to July 1975):

These early vehicles were issued a unique 7-digit "Car Number", and a unique 4-digit "Body Number", both of which were prefixed by the early GTS prefix "XAD2S".

1. The Car Number is stamped into an aluminium tag pop riveted to the driver's side front slam panel (under the bonnet).

2. The Body Number is stamped into a separate aluminium tag riveted to the driver's side front slam panel (under the bonnet), and was also reverse stamped into a body tag welded to the passenger's side front slam panel. Body tags have a wavering edge as shown in the images.

Mid-production vehicles (possibly from July 1975 - August 1978):

These mid-production cars were also issued the same 7-digit "Car Number", and a unique 4-digit "Body Number" as the early vehicles, both of which were again prefixed by the early GTS prefix "XAD2S". The relevant numbers for these vehicles can be found in the following locations:

1. The Car Number is stamped into an aluminium tag pop-riveted to the driver's side front slam panel (under the bonnet).

2. The Body Number is stamped into a separate aluminium tag riveted to the driver's side front slam panel (under the bonnet). 

3. The reverse stamped body tag, however, was relocated to the rear passenger parcel shelf (the same location as post-August 1978 vehicles). The body tags had a wavering edge as shown in the images.

Vehicles from September 1978 onward:

The later GTS vehicles changed their coding system, and were issued a unique 6-digit "Serial Number" a unique 7-digit "Chassis Number", and the GTS "Model Code" was changed to "1144BA":

1. All three codes are located on a single data plate on the driver's side slam panel (under the bonnet).

2. The Model Code and the vehicle's Serial Number were also reverse stamped into a body tag welded to the passenger's side rear parcel shelf. The body tags had a wavering edge as shown in the images. This tag also contains the stamping "GTS" and the vehicle's original paint colour name.
