Select the Jaguar E-Type model year you want to research current market prices for
When Enzo Ferrari (allegedly) says that you’ve made the most beautiful car of all time, you know you’ve got something special. In production for just 15 years, the Jaguar E-Type (known as the Jaguar XKE in the American market) epitomizes the sleek, speedy, sporty ’60s; appropriately enough younger audiences may recognize it as the vehicle preferred by Austin Powers. Born in 1961, Jaguar rolled out E-Type Series I roadsters to immediate acclaim, and the combination of extreme style, high speed (up to 150mph, making it the fastest production car on the market) and relatively low price made for a compelling package to buyers. Collectors most adore the version of the Series I that emerged in 1965 with a slightly larger engine size and technological advances like an alternator and better brakes. A brief transitional Series I½ (largely identified by a change in headlights) paved the way for the Series II E-Type in 1968, which added a wraparound bumper and changes for US safety regulation compliance. Power steering and air conditioning were introduced as options. Series III quickly emerged in 1971 with a larger wheelbase and a new Jaguar V12 engine with four carburetors pushing 272 hp. Jaguar ended E-Type production in 1974, though Jag teased its return as an all-electric model or an EV conversion for vintage E’s in 2018 (they in fact converted E-Types to electric propulsion), they pulled back on those plans just a year later.
