Just checked the box. Casting date is 2nd October 63
EJ819 stamped in the same place as the Moss box and not on the top plate.
Top 10 E-Type models

Interesting Angus, so not all that early in 4.2 production - XKE data throws up EJ017 - the earliest I can find still in 4.2 territory.

Lots of early numbers in the early 4.2 range but none that I can see in late 3.8s.

No and if they were numbered in the 3.8 style (EB---js) perhaps we would have seen one by now?

I agree. I also believed that the last 3.8s were fitted with the later box but can see no evidence to support this.
