Series 1 carburators
Good Day
I am looking at a Series 1 Fhc 1966.
It was original sold in Us.
It has twin carbs with an airfilter box I haven't seen on the E type before
The car has chassis nr 1E 34022
Did this car have the trippel Su hd8 carb setup original ?
Is this type of airfilter box something that was delivered on the e type ?
Here is a picture of another e type with the same carb/filter setup

I agree with you, I thought the first twin carb setup came in aug 1967 in series 1 1/2.
This car is produced in dec 1966
and I haven't seen this type of airfilter housing.
The car also has the black ribbed valve covers, which i thought came on series 1 1/2
The seller says the engine is the original. I haven't seen the car yet, so I haven't checked the engine numbers.

I had a 1966 4.2 E-Type back in the early 70's. My buddy had a 1968 with the twin Strombergs.
That is a 1969> (onward) if it is a U.S. spec car.
The 1968 had the aluminum crossover to a HOTSPOT on the exhaust. The 1969> did away with the crossover but maintained the secondary throttle butterflies to the fuel mixing 'loop' at the back of the intake manifold.
Most people would wire the secondary butterflies WIDE OPEN to eliminate the long path for the fuel/air through the passage 'loop'.
A bunch of customers would ask me to perform that modification (back in the day).
Another dead giveaway is the lack of coolant header tank and twin fan setup. The Series I cars had a single electric fan/motor. (Lawnmower Blade?)

Good times, struggling with those old systems, were just a patch before technology caught up.
I love how people think a 50 years old car could run like a new Honda......some are even MAD that they don't get 25 mpg in an etype!
Enjoy mu friend...….
My I PACE electric is on the way...…..but im keeping my ETYPE and xk120
