| Rarity | Buckinghamshire Green is an uncommon specification on V8 cars. | Fixed head coupes were built in smaller numbers than roadsters. |
| Market position | V8 coupes have settled into a narrower band than the V12 cars, with well-specified low-mileage examples holding more firmly than average-mileage cars. | Series 1 4.2 coupes remain the most liquid E-Type variant. Restored driver-quality cars trade steadily; concours cars are a separate and thinner market. |

Advisor’s Perspective
A table will not tell you which of these to buy.
Specification is comparable. Depreciation, practicality and how a car actually behaves in the use you have in mind are not — those come from having placed the things. Tell Brandon what the car is for and you will get a straight answer on which of these to buy, including when the answer is neither.
