What is a 1964 Jaguar E-Type Coupe 4.2 worth today?

That sits below the $246,400 median of actual sales because the estimate weights the most recent results most heavily, and recent sales have come in under the longer-run median. We rate confidence low: 5 public sales in a year is not enough to be firm, and the honest range is wide. Treat it as a starting point, not a valuation.

About the 1964 Jaguar E-Type Coupe 4.2

The 4.2-liter E-Type Coupe refined Jaguar's masterpiece without compromising its essential character. The larger displacement XK engine maintained 265 horsepower while delivering significantly more torque, improving both performance and driveability. More importantly, the 4.2 introduced the superior all-synchromesh gearbox, eliminating the 3.8's notorious first-gear synchronizer weakness. With 7,772 units produced, these represent the sweet spot of E-Type evolution, retaining the classic Series I proportions while offering improved reliability and refinement. The 4.2 featured better interior appointments and electrical systems, making them more practical for regular use. Collectors increasingly appreciate these cars as the most useable early E-Types, combining iconic styling with enhanced mechanical sophistication. Values reflect their desirability as the ideal entry point into Series I ownership, offering authentic 1960s character with fewer compromises.
