#1 USA Documentation - what was included

Post by Philk » Mon May 13, 2019 6:52 am

Hi All,

In various posts on the Forum (including the excellent section in Factory Fit), there is good information on what would have been included in the S1 Owners Wallet for a home produced car. With so many E-Types being exported to the USA though, what would really be helpful would be to establish what the differences were between the UK and USA document sets. The following are my assumptions thus far:

Both UK and USA:

- Brown plastic Wallet
- Operating, Maintenance and Service Handbook
- Maintenance Chart
- Periodic Maintenance Vouchers
- Chrome Plate Maintenance Slip

UK Only:

- Warranty Card (white stripe across the front)
- Jaguar Drivers Club prospectus
- RAC Associate Prospectus
- Sales and Service Facilities in the United Kingdom booklet
- RAC Running in sticker
- Accident Enquiry Form

USA:

- Warranty Card (blue stripe across the front)
- Jaguar sales and service centers in United States and Canada booklet (1966 example photo below)

There is also the Jaguar Overseas Distributors and Dealers Booklet (see photo below) which is printed in England, does not include the USA but does not include the UK either. I've seen this shown as being in various document sets but, if it is for the USA set, I'm surprised the UK is not in it. Similarly, if it is for a UK set, I'm surprised the USA is not in it.

Thoughts and views welcome on the last point above (as to which set it would belong in) and also anything else that should be listed in the USA (or home sets).

The Warranty card was different for the US - blue stripe rather than white (or vice versa) and Jaguar USA return address. Roger Payne covered the subject in detail in a series of articles for the E-Type Club magazine. PM me if you want details.

Hi David, many thanks - have just sent you a PM. In the meantime, I'd completely forgotten about the warranty card. I'll update my post to include the two variants.

Regards

There was also the tax disc holder with the Growler on the reverse.
