Common questions
How much does a Jaguar E-Type V12 Roadster cost?
A 1971 Jaguar E-Type V12 Roadster cost $6,780 new. Over the past 12 months, 13 have sold publicly at a median of $54,000. The Shifty Estimate for a well-kept example is $71,700. Across the sales we have on file, prices ran from $28,474 to $219,331, depending on mileage, color, and history.
What is a 1971 Jaguar E-Type V12 Roadster worth today?
The Shifty Estimate is $71,700, down 25.0% over the past 12 months. That sits above the $54,000 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. We rate confidence low: 13 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.
Is a Jaguar E-Type V12 Roadster a good investment?
It has appreciated 958% against its $6,780 list price. Values are down 25.0% over the past 12 months. Only 7,990 were built. The caution is spread, not direction: across the sales we have on file, prices ran from $28,474 to $219,331, and mileage explains most of that.

About the 1971 Jaguar E-Type V12 Roadster
The V12 roadster represented Jaguar's final interpretation of the E-Type formula, trading the XK engine's legendary soundtrack for smooth V12 power. The 5.3-liter twelve-cylinder produced 272 horsepower and transformed the E-Type's character from sports car to grand tourer. Despite the Series 3's longer wheelbase and flared arches, necessary to accommodate the wider engine and rear tires, Malcolm Sayer's basic proportions remained intact. The V12's effortless torque delivery made these the most refined E-Types, though purists mourned the loss of the XK's distinctive exhaust note. Automatic transmission became popular, suiting the car's evolved GT character. With 7,990 examples built through 1975, V12 roadsters closed the E-Type chapter with dignity, offering a uniquely smooth and powerful experience that differs markedly from the earlier six-cylinder cars.
