Just trying to confirm matching numbers on my E-type...got them all except the body number. My books say it should appear on the forward face of the firewall, right side. Can't find a bloody thing there. Anybody have any help? This is on my very original '68 OTS, Series 1 1/2...regular Series 1 body with Series 2 interior and engine compartment. Many thanks, Eric.

Outstanding Robert! Thank you for the detailed information and photo. I don't know why any of this wasn't covered in the two restoration books I've been using. I'll be home in 3 days and I'll check my Jag's numbers then. Hopefully the OTS body numbers are located the same as the FHC's.

Best regards, Eric.

This picture is of the body tag on a 68 FHC. The body number tag is usually in this location or the the left wheel arch, inside the car, near the gas tank filler pipe.

I'm sorry Robert, that answer's a bit too cryptic for me. Do you mean that the body # appears under the rear license plate mounting point? Thanks for helping me out.

Best regards, Eric.
