Jaguar F-Type 1st Gen

Launched for the 2014 model year, the Jaguar F-Type was hailed as the spiritual successor to the iconic E-Type. Penned by famed designer Ian Callum, its stunning proportions and aggressive stance made it an instant classic. The car was offered as a coupe or convertible with a range of supercharged engines, including a 3.0L V6 in various states of tune and a powerful 5.0L V8 that delivered a signature, thunderous exhaust note.

Collectors are drawn to the F-Type for its blend of classic British GT character and modern performance. While all F-Types offer a compelling driving experience, the most desirable variants are the limited-edition, 575 hp Project 7 and the all-wheel-drive SVR models. The V6 S with the optional manual transmission is also sought after for its rarity and engaging drive. With 284 sales tracked and an average price of $43,080, the market has matured, making early V6 and V8 R models surprisingly affordable.

The market for the F-Type is broad, with early, higher-mileage cars dipping below $30,000, creating an excellent value proposition. At the top end, low-mileage SVR and ultra-rare Project 7 examples can fetch well into six figures, with sales reaching up to $250,000. This wide spectrum means there's an F-Type for many budgets, from a weekend sports car to a serious collection piece.

Prices for the first-generation Jaguar F-Type range from as low as $8,000 for early models to over $250,000 for limited-edition variants.
