For consignment, a 1958 Jaguar XK150 showing 23,134 miles but the true miles are unknown. This is a triple black version with paint, top, and interior wearing this handsome color. Over four years, 9,395 examples of the XK150 were produced.

Exterior

We all have our favorite British roadsters, but objectively speaking, the lines of the XK150 are truly stunning and dipped here in a vat of black ink which only makes the chrome pop in contrast, from the streamlined grille, the bumper that contours to that grille, the light rings, and the 16-inch chrome wire wheels. Not to be outdone, the polished frame of the slender windscreen also shines and meets vent windows at the corners. The rear is a work of art with stainless trim creating a mid rib over an ornate plate surround, a wraparound bumper, two polished tips, and bold chrome housing on the diminutive tail lights. Swooping front fenders create a cavernous space to the hood from which the headlights emerge from dramatic, cylindrical protrusions, while large fog lights are propped up on the bumper. The canvas black top is in immaculate condition and its plastic window remains clear. The paint and brightwork are very nice and the only imperfection we note is a paint scrape on the inside of the door on the latch panel.

Interior

Stately door panels in black are smooth and square and unobtrusive while the black leather seats, where you might expect buckets, is actually a split bench with cushions designed for comfort more than sport and visually connected with a pleated filler over the center hump. There are two seats in the back, but they are more suggestion than a usable chair, at least for adults and better suited for storage. A wood rimmed steering wheel connects to the Jaguar hub with three spokes and the instrument cluster is positioned in the center, black faced gauges on an aluminum base, handsome, simple, and elegant. Black carpet surrounds the floor mounted shifter with a wood handle that shows some patina. The boot is lined with a vinyl pad and presents cleanly while keeping the black theme alive.

Drivetrain

Under the hood is a stunning rebuilt 3.4 liter DOHC inline 6 cylinder rated at 190 horsepower and fueled by a 2 SU H6 carburetors. A 4-speed manual rows through the gears and sends power to the rear axle with a 3.54 ratio. Disc brakes are supplied front and rear. Visually, a vintage Jaguar engine is about as good as it gets.

Undercarriage

Clean underneath with minimal surface rust and no errant fluids are noted. The dual exhaust enters a gleaming pair of stainless steel mufflers and continues on its shiny way to the tail pipes which find their way to the back. Suspension includes torsion bars up front and leaf springs in back.
