Auction description:
An Auction of Selected Classic Cars
Imperial War Museum
Lot 58 of 152:
1959 Jaguar XK150 SE 3.8 Litre Roadster
Chassis No:S838550BW
MOT:May 2018

- Distinctive cherished registration 'THE 150'
- Subject to an older restoration circa 1995
- 3.8 engine and Borg Warner automatic gearbox
- Supplied by Jaguar Cars New York, subsequently converted to RHD

Subject to an older restoration circa 1995, this well-presented XK150 is finished in Maroon with Biscuit leather and has the desirable 3.8-litre engine. It was supplied from new through Jaguar Cars New York to its first owner, a Dr DE Holler, with the Borg-Warner automatic gearbox option being specified. At some point, presumably during its restoration, the car has been converted to righthand drive.

Described as being in "very good" condition with regard to its bodywork, paintwork, engine, transmission and interior, it is said to be a very usable and easy to drive classic and is offered with the most appropriate and highly desirable registration number 'THE 150'. For better handling the car sits on a set of modern radial tyres with wider wire wheels, however for the purist the car also comes with a set of cross-ply tyres mounted on the original size wire wheels. A Kenlowe fan is fitted for convenience under modern traffic conditions. The culmination of the XK range which could trace its roots back to the world-beating XK120, the XK150 offers wind-in-the-hair performance allied to comfort and safety in true Jaguar tradition.
