Auction description:
Lot Number 109
Reg. Number EU Registered
Chassis Number S836059
Year 1959
Make Jaguar
Model XK150 SE

This beautiful XK150 Fixed Head Coupe was delivered new in 1959 to Special Equipment specification. By the 1960's the XK had found its way to Denmark and into the custodianship of a wealthy landowner from the Danish region of Zealand, who owned the XK for a number of years until ownership passed due to the sale of the estate in the mid 1990's. The next owner, a Jaguar enthusiast, commenced extensive restoration, which was completed in 2015 by specialists under the watchful eye of the current vendor. The XK benefits from a fully rebuilt engine mated to a 5-speed gearbox (a useful upgrade), and is fitted with a very nice set of 15" chrome wire wheels on each corner.

Supplied with extensive history for works completed, and finished in a very stylish combination of Royal Blue with a re-trimmed Biscuit leather interior, this is an incredibly competent and enjoyable 1950's GT which has been finished to a high standard.

There, the car was owned by an individual residing in Zealand who retained the car for a number of years before being sold in the mid-1990’s. Passing into the heads of another Danish Jaguar enthusiast, he entrusted the car to a Danish Jaguar specialist to be fully restored, which was completed in 2015. At least €25,000 was spent on this work. The XK 150 benefits from a rebuilt engine boasting a five-speed manual transmission and is fitted with chrome wire wheels.

The Plus

Looking at this beautiful XK150 FHC, it's easy to see why these cars are so popular with classic touring and event enthusiasts. They appeal to both the mind and the heart: they're naturally fun to drive, but their space, comfort and practicality also make them excellent long-distance companions.

There are a host of upgrades available to improve the touring ability of these cars, including conversion to a 5-speed gearbox. This car, restored a few years ago by a Danish Jaguar specialist at a cost of €25,000, benefits from this important upgrade. Its rebuilt engine adds to its already top-of-the-range mechanical base.

In March 1957, Jaguar introduced the 'Special Equipment' SE model to offer customers more power to match the elegant design. This is one of those cars. Built in 1959, it is finished in dark blue, which accentuates the bright chrome elements that are a highlight of these models.

As an older restoration, it is clearly in very good condition, both inside and out. The wood-trimmed cabin with its beige leather seats looks particularly welcoming.

It's the kind of neat classic you wouldn't hesitate to use. It would be perfectly at home lined up with other classic touring cars ready to travel picturesque European roads. The technical inspection is valid until March 2027, so it's absolutely ready to go.
