#1 1967 E Type Question

I own 1967 E Type IE15538. Based on what I have read it is close to the end of Series 1 production. It has a Series 1 hood with covered head lights. It has all the other Series 1 characteristics except one. It has the small dual fans for the radiator like the Series 1 1/2. Is it likely(possible) it came that way from the factory. I would appreciate any help. Thanks!

Does it have the dual fans on the S1 radiator and header tank arrangement? Or the S2 type radiator with the firewall mounted header tank?
If the former, it's likely to be some sort of non factory conversion. If the latter, it may be factory, though that does seem unlikely.

Is the single fan mount present on your picture frame?

Thanks for your reply. It is the S1 radiator and header tank arrangement.

Sounds like it may be a series 1.5 to me
With many previous owner mods
Probably including the bonnet
