This 1958 Jaguar XK150 Drophead Coupe was acquired by the seller’s family in 2002, and work performed has since involved a repaint and a re-trim of the interior, as well as an engine rebuild in 2019. Finished in British Racing Green over tan leather, the car is powered by a 3.4-liter inline-six paired with a four-speed manual transmission. Equipment includes a black soft top, 16” wire wheels, four-wheel disc brakes, a Stirling Moss steering wheel, a Motorola AM radio, and Smiths instrumentation. This XK150 is now offered with a Jaguar Daimler Heritage Trust certificate, refurbishment photos, service records from current ownership, a car cover, and a clean Colorado title in the seller’s name.
The car left the factory finished in British Racing Green and was repainted in 2012. The black soft top has a beige interior lining, and additional details include fender-mounted side mirrors, dual exhaust outlets, and chrome bumpers with overriders.
The 16” knock-off wire wheels are retained by two-eared spinners and wrapped in 215/70 Bridgestone Ecopia tires. A full-size spare is stored below the trunk floor. Braking is handled by four-wheel discs, and the pads and rotors were replaced in 2014.
The cabin was re-trimmed since the car was acquired by the seller’s family, and the tan leather upholstery extends to the dash pad, seats, and door panels. Replacement color-coordinated carpets were also installed. A Motorola AM radio is mounted below the dash and the shifter is topped with a wood knob.
The wood-rimmed steering wheel is imprinted with a Stirling Moss signature, while the central instrument bezel is trimmed in gray and houses Smiths instrumentation consisting of a 140-mph speedometer, a tachometer with an inset clock, and auxiliary gauges. The five-digit odometer shows 73k miles.
The 3.4-liter DOHC inline-six was rebuilt in 2019 by Jaguar Denver of Colorado, and it is equipped with dual SU carburetors.
The engine block stamping is shown above, and a corresponding cylinder head stamping can be seen in the gallery along with other production marks.
The four-speed manual transmission was resealed and a replacement clutch assembly was installed in 2019.
The Jaguar Daimler Heritage Trust certificate indicates that the car was dispatched on August 18, 1958 for the North American export market and lists factory equipment and identification numbers.
