This is what jaymcminn (jason) said in response to a question in one of my threads.
“Revell's Series 1 pretty specifically represents a late 1961 or 1962 car. 1961 cars had flat interior floors, external bonnet latches and welded bonnet louvers. 1962 cars had dropped floor pans for more legroom, bonnet latches relocated to the inner sills and stamped louvers, all of which are present on the Revell kit. By 1963 the shiny aluminum center console surface was replaced by vinyl and the "tombstone" seats had been replaced by seats with vertical pleats. The chrome trim was there to disguise the seam between the bonnet sides and top. To my knowledge all E-types had the fender trim from the factory.”
