Common questions
How much does a Jaguar E-Type Roadster cost?
A 1968 Jaguar E-Type Roadster cost $5,755 new. Over the past 12 months, 11 have sold publicly at a median of $62,000. The Shifty Estimate for a well-kept example is $78,000. Cars have changed hands anywhere from $46,814 to $128,240, depending on mileage, color, and history.
What is a 1968 Jaguar E-Type Roadster worth today?
The Shifty Estimate is $78,000, down 4.6% over the past 12 months. That sits above the $62,000 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. Confidence is high: 11 public sales in a year gives a firm read.
Is a Jaguar E-Type Roadster a good investment?
It has appreciated 1255% against its $5,755 list price. Values are down 4.6% over the past 12 months. Only 8,591 were built. The caution is spread, not direction: across the sales we have on file, prices ran from $19,950 to $293,494, and mileage explains most of that.

The Series 2 roadster marked a turning point for the E-Type, as federal safety regulations began reshaping Sayer's original vision. Introduced for 1968, these cars featured exposed headlights, larger side markers, and revised interior switches—changes that purists initially resisted but collectors now appreciate for their rarity. The 4.2-liter XK engine was detuned to 246 horsepower to meet emissions standards, while improved cooling and electrical systems enhanced reliability. Despite the power reduction, Series 2 cars offered better build quality and comfort than their predecessors. With only 8,591 roadsters produced through 1971, they're actually rarer than the celebrated Series 1 models. Today's market increasingly recognizes the Series 2's unique position in E-Type evolution, representing the last six-cylinder roadsters before the V12 era began.
