Welcome to the forums ozbie,

Good to have you with us.

The E-Type pre-dates the VIN system. The number you quote is a Chassis Number. UD1S74859BW decodes as follows:
U = US specification
D = 1973MY
1S74859 = 2 + 2 LHD (324 before the last produced in July 1973)
BW = Automatic ( Borg Warner)




Follow this link https://www.jaguarforums.com/forum/e-type-xk-e-59/ to the E-Type forum for help, advice and information. The 'HOW TO' thread at the top is a good place to start for information on regular issues.

Please add vehicle details to your Signature to help others to give relevant advice. Go to the User CP button on the left of the top menu bar, then Settings & Options under Your Control Panel. Select Edit Signature and enter the details.

You can also visit the Canada Region forum by following this link https://www.jaguarforums.com/forum/canada-73/ to find other members in your region.

Enjoy the forums.

Graham
