Auction description:
Lot 1043: 1959 Jaguar XK 150S Roadster
Quail Lodge Motor Cars, Bonhams & Butterfields (19th August 2005)
Overview
The 1959 Jaguar XK 150S Roadster offered here was restored in the 1970s, before its acquisition by the present owner. It left Jaguar as a 3.4 liter but during the restoration the engine block was replaced with the block from a 4.2 liter 1968 E-type that was modified to 3.8 liters. It also has an aluminum E-type oil pan but still uses the original 3.4 liter XK 150S cylinder head (VS1336-9) with three 2” SU carburetors. It also has an E-type 4-speed transmission, but comes with a 1959 Jaguar 3.4 engine and 4-speed with overdrive to return it to proper factory build.
The present owner acquired it in Texas in the 1970s with the intention of restoring it but the project was never begun and the Jaguar has been stored for the last 19 years. It recently has been re-commissioned by marque expert Michael Veys prior to being offered for sale here. It is handsomely presented in Black with Red vinyl interior. Although showing its age, with a full detailing it will be wonderful to drive or restore.
Unused for two decades and freshly prepared by a specialist, this 1959 XK 150S is an excellent opportunity to acquire one of the most sought of all the XK series Jaguars with high performance engine and four-wheel disc brakes in the most desirable and rare Open Two Seater roadster body style.
