Yet something else I did not know about Series 1 E Types. Reading from Wikipedia
"Less widely known, right at the end of Series 1 production and prior to the transitional "Series 1?" referred to below, a very small number 10 to 20 Series 1 cars were produced, with open headlights in the uk, these series one cars that had their head lights modified by removing the covers and altering the scoops they sit in, the headlights differ in several respects from the "production" Series 1?, the main being they are shorter at 143mm from the production Series 1? at 160mm .[17][18] Production dates on these machines vary but in right hand drive form production has been verified as late as March 1968.[19] The low number of these cars produced make them amongst the rarest of all production E Types".
