Common questions

How much does a Jaguar XJ cost?

Over the past 12 months, 3 have sold publicly at a median of $11,500. The Shifty Estimate for a well-kept example is $8,800. Cars have changed hands anywhere from $6,600 to $11,000, depending on mileage, color, and history.

What is a 1968 Jaguar XJ worth today?

The Shifty Estimate is $8,800. That sits below the $11,500 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: 3 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 1968 Jaguar XJ

The original XJ represents Jaguar's design zenith, Sir William Lyons' final masterpiece before retirement. Launched in 1968, this revolutionary sedan combined graceful proportions with advanced engineering, featuring independent rear suspension and a choice of the venerable XK straight-six or the silky 5.3-liter V12 from 1972. The Series I's distinctive quad headlamps and flowing roofline established a template that influenced luxury sedans for decades. Early cars suffered from British Leyland's notorious quality issues, making well-preserved examples increasingly scarce. The V12 models, particularly the final 1973 cars, command premium prices today. With only around 82,000 Series I XJs produced across all variants, clean survivors represent excellent entry points into classic Jaguar ownership. The XJ's combination of performance, luxury, and that unmistakable Jaguar grace makes it a compelling alternative to contemporary Mercedes and BMW classics, especially as values continue their upward trajectory.
