Sellers description:
Dies dürfte der perfekteste Jaguar XK 150 sein, den man für Geld kaufen kann. Laut Gutachten sprechen wir hier von einem Wiederbeschaffungswert von 160.000, -- € und einem Wiederaufbauwert von 200.000, -- €. Dies kann man erst ermessen wenn man den Oldtimer live erlebt, gefühlt und gefahren hat. Ich hatte das Vergnügen, ihn kurz hinter Hamburg zu übernehmen und dann auf Achse 660 km zu genießen. Leider war der Spaß schon nach 5 Stunden zu Ende, denn ich war zu Hause. Dies ist eigentlich mit einem Oldtimer, noch dazu mit Automatikgetriebe unvorstellbar aber wenn man bereits bei 3000 U/min ca. 155 km/h schnell ist gibt das halt ein

Lot 124 - 1958 Jaguar XK150SE Drophead Coupe
Estimate: €120,000 - €140,000
Registration Number: EU Taxes Paid
Chassis Number: S837694BW

This wonderful drophead XK 150 is for many classic car enthusiasts one of the most iconic open British sports cars produced. This particular example comes in the tasteful livery of red, matched by a beige leather interior.

This matching numbers motor car underwent a comprehensive restoration in 2013 and boasts subtle upgrades including the fitment of power steering and power brakes as well as improvements to cooling and the ignition system, making the car much more drivable in modern traffic conditions.

We are informed the car is in excellent order in every respect with the interior fitted with heated seats and an improved sound system discreetly installed in the boot. All dials work and the leather is immaculate, making this interior extremely comfortable over long distances. Chrome wire wheels add to the unforgettable impression made by this iconic British sports car.

Lots of smooth power from the 3.4 litre twin overhead six cylinder engine make this particular Jaguar a wonderful investment, which can be used on the roads throughout Europe with verve and gusto, just as it was when it was built.

Location Karlskron, Germany

Manufactured on 10 September 1958 this Jaguar XK 150 was then dispatched to H. Winberg of Illinois, USA. Produced in the dashing colour combination of Carmen Red over black leather, the XK 150 still retains its original 3.4-litre engine.

Although little history of the vehicle is known, at some point the Jaguar was repainted white, and the interior was reupholstered in light blue leather. By 2005, the XK was badly in need of restoration. It was at this time that a complete body-off restoration was undertaken. Extensive photographs show the step-by-step process: where possible, the original metal was preserved, and new sheet metal replaced overly rusted areas. The engine was thoroughly cleaned and rebuilt before being repainted. The body was repainted in the original Carmen Red, and the interior upholstered in a comfortable biscuit leather with tan carpeting.

During the restoration, certain improvements were added to increase comfort for the new owner. Upgrades such as power steering and power brakes make for improved driveability, while heated seats, an improved sound system, and improvements to the cooling system increase interior comfort.

Sold into Germany in 2016, this 1958 Jaguar XK 150 Drophead combines classic styling, driver comfort, and wonderful engine power. An iconic British sports car, no collection is complete without one.
