1959 Jaguar XK150 S OTS

Restored in the 2010s

3.4-Liter DOHC Inline-6 With “S” Specification2” SU HD8 Carburetors

Straight Port Cylinder Heads

250 Horsepower

4-Speed Manual w/Electronic Overdrive

4-Wheel Disc Brakes

Stunning Silver/Blue/Blue Color Combination

Exceptional Chrome Throughout

The Most Refined XK Jaguar

Offered w/Jaguar Heritage Trust Certificate

This Open Two-Seater, was produced as the sportiest version of the car, and this example benefits from a comprehensive restoration carried out by the previous owner.

The Jaguar Heritage Trust Certificate indicates that when this car came out of the factory in 1959, it was finished in Cream over a black interior with a black top. During the restoration, the color was changed to Silver Pearl over a stunning blue interior with a blue soft top. One of the key changes made on the XK150 was the addition of roll-up windows which make it a far more comfortable touring car than the XK120 and XK140 which were only fitted with side curtains. The chrome bumpers and trim have all been finished to a very high quality, and the wire wheels with center knockoffs are finished in chrome as well. In addition to roll up windows, the XK150 was also the first XK to be fitted with 4-wheel disc brakes which was cutting edge technology at the time that Jaguar had been perfecting in its endurance racing cars.

The dark blue Connolley leather interior is paired with matching dark blue carpets throughout the interior. Sitting in the driver’s seat, you are met with a 4-spoke steering wheel with a set of white on black Smiths gauges in the center of the dashboard. One of the features of the “Open Two-Seater” is the deletion of the two rear seats which gives you extra luggage space behind the seats, which is upholstered in a combination of carpet and vinyl.

Powering the XK150 is a numbers matching 3.4-liter dual overhead cam inline-6 with a trio of SU carburetors affixed to the side. In the standard XK150, this combination was good for about 190 horsepower, but the “S” received larger carburetors and a straight-port cylinder head which increased power to a reported 250. For the time this was a remarkable number, especially from a smooth inline-6 and helped propel the car to more than 130 mph at the top end. Power is sent to the rear wheels via a 4-speed manual gearbox with an electronic overdrive system, which allows for easy highway cruising.
