The presented car is an XK 150 S coupe in its best displacement of 3.8l. It is a magnificent midnight blue copy, gray interior, leather and carpet.

It is a car that has not only been fully restored, but has since been meticulously tuned by the company “Atelier”.

The mighty XK engine begins to free itself and the performance of this Jaguar is amazing, but that is not the most important thing, which happens to be in the pleasure of driving, sitting in an English living room, smelling of leather, wool, and precious wood.

The car on offer is a coupe XK 150 S, sold new in Germany and registered for the first time on November 30, 1959. It changed hands several times in Germany and then was sold to a French enthusiast through Christie's on February 21, 1992 in Paris then the current owner bought it at Artcurial in December 2002. The invoice for an engine overhaul in 1993 shows that side segments 20 have been installed and the bolt has been completely redone along with the shaft, the motors, pumps and the engine compartment. In 1995, the front was redone and then the car has been in very limited used, though maintained and serviced regularly. The powerful XK marked the start of impressive performance from Jaguar. And this one is a spacious automobile that is comfortable to travel in and comes equipped with a four-speed 'box with a Laycock de Normanville overdrive on the fourth.
