About the 1968 Jaguar E-Type Series 1.5 Roadster
The 1968 E-Type Roadster represents a fascinating one-year anomaly in Jaguar's timeline. These cars bridged Series I and Series II production, featuring the refined 4.2-liter engine with updated emissions controls that reduced power to 245 horsepower. With only 1,882 roadsters produced in this transitional year, they're among the rarest E-Type variants. The 1968 model retained the classic Series I dashboard and proportions while incorporating early safety modifications required for US markets. This unique specification makes them highly sought after by collectors who appreciate their historical significance as the last of the pure Series I design language. The combination of extreme rarity, open-air motoring, and transitional status creates strong collector appeal. Values have risen accordingly, as enthusiasts recognize these cars as representing a pivotal moment in E-Type evolution.
