1969 Jaguar E-Type Series 1.5 Roadster for Sale in the United Kingdom

This 1969 Jaguar E-Type Series 1.5 Roadster is a used car showing 86,261 km. It is equipped with a manual transmission. The car is finished in Carmen Red with a Black interior. It is a 2-seat car and has had 7 previous owners.

Built in July 1968 and first registered in February 1969, this roadster belongs to the transitional Series 1.5: it keeps the open headlamps of the Series 1, with the mechanical and safety changes that led to the Series 2. Delivered new in the United Kingdom with right-hand drive, it still has the XK six-cylinder it left the factory with, as a Jaguar Heritage Trust certificate confirms.

A full refurbishment carried out in 2017 and finished in 2018 is recorded in photographs. Since then it has Cooper Craft four-piston front calipers, electronic ignition, power steering, a new clutch, new trim and a new mohair hood. The history file goes back to 1969, with the original green logbook and period invoices, including one for a 1973 service.

The car is located in Tollerton, United Kingdom.

FAQ

This Jaguar E-Type Series 1.5 in the European market

Is this Jaguar priced above or below the European market?

At £129,975, about €151,627, it sits above the median of €99,500 for the 84 Jaguar advertised in Europe in 2026. 75% of them are advertised for less. Asking prices are not transaction prices, and specification differences explain much of the spread.

Can this Jaguar be bought in the United Kingdom and registered elsewhere in Europe?

The car is located in Tollerton, United Kingdom. The dealer has not stated whether the price is quoted gross, net of VAT for export, or under the margin scheme. Cross-border purchase is normal for this kind of car, but the documentation, the certificate of conformity, transport and the registration rules of the destination country all have to be settled with the selling dealer first.

How much did this Jaguar E-Type Series 1.5 cost new?

The manufacturer's base list price was €2,523 in the United Kingdom, excluding options. This car is advertised at £129,975, about €151,627: a nominal gap of +5910% against that list price. The seller does not state whether VAT is included, so the tax basis of the comparison is uncertain. A list price is the launch price of the version without options, so a heavily specified car left the factory above it, and it says nothing about what the car is worth today. That 1968 list price is converted to euros with no adjustment for inflation.

How does the mileage of this Jaguar compare?

86,261 km recorded, against a median of 33,195 km across the Jaguar advertised in Europe in 2026. It is therefore among the higher-mileage cars currently listed. Service records and ownership details should be checked against the documents held by the selling dealer.

Which other Jaguar are priced closest to this one?

a 1958 car in the United Kingdom at €152,040, and a 1966 car in France at €149,900. Observed in 2026. Comparing them means putting model year, mileage, factory options and the VAT basis side by side before the price itself.

Who is selling this Jaguar E-Type Series 1.5, and how does a purchase work?

Kaaimans International, a professional dealer in Tollerton, United Kingdom. LUSSO lists the car and passes enquiries to that dealer; the inspection, the negotiation, the invoice and the transfer of ownership all take place directly between the buyer and the dealer. LUSSO does not hold stock, take deposits or act as an intermediary in payment.

Can this Jaguar E-Type Series 1.5 be inspected before purchase?

The car is at Tollerton, United Kingdom, and an inspection is arranged with the selling dealer. Buyers based in another country commonly appoint an independent inspector or a marque specialist rather than travel. Ask the dealer for the service record, the number of previous owners and any accident history, with supporting documents for the information stated in the listing.
