Common questions
How much does a Jaguar E-Type Coupe cost?
A 1968 Jaguar E-Type Coupe cost $5,825 new. Over the past 12 months, 3 have sold publicly at a median of $53,500. The Shifty Estimate for a well-kept example is $105,600. Cars have changed hands anywhere from $50,760 to $179,200, depending on mileage, color, and history.
What is a 1968 Jaguar E-Type Coupe worth today?
The Shifty Estimate is $105,600. That sits above the $53,500 median of actual sales because the median counts every car that sold, including high-mileage examples, while the estimate describes a clean, low-mileage one bought today. We rate confidence medium: 3 public sales in a year is a thin market, and the spread between them is wide.
Is a Jaguar E-Type Coupe a good investment?
It has appreciated 1713% against its $5,825 list price. Only 4,855 were built. The caution is spread, not direction: across the sales we have on file, prices ran from $33,000 to $201,600, and mileage explains most of that.

The late Series I Coupe represents the culmination of Malcolm Sayer's original E-Type vision. These 1968-1971 cars retained the classic proportions and covered headlights while incorporating mechanical refinements learned from five years of production. The 4.2-liter XK engine, though detuned to 246 horsepower for emissions compliance, delivered improved torque and driveability. With only 4,855 units produced, they're among the rarer E-Type variants, combining the desirable coupe body style with final-specification mechanical sophistication. The interior featured improved ergonomics and build quality, while the exterior maintained the pure Series I aesthetic that made the E-Type famous. These cars offer collectors the best of both worlds: iconic 1960s styling with enhanced reliability and refinement. Values reflect their status as the ultimate expression of the original E-Type concept, before federal regulations compromised the design's purity.
