The ultimate development of Jaguar’s XK-series, which began with the XK120 of 1948, was the 1958 Jaguar XK150 S, exemplified by this March 1959-built Roadster OTS.
Sold originally by Hull (UK) dealers Green Harrow, this 3.4 S left the factory finished in Speedwell Blue with a Grey interior but today is presented in red with tan trim.
This is one of only 92 XK150 3.4 S roadsters (or OTS in factory lingo) manufactured in right-hand drive. In addition, the mechanical (rather than electric) overdrive operated by a lever forward of the gear stick was believed to have only been fitted to 34 cars, making this a rare and even more collectible example.
In its current ownership since 2006, this XK150 S was undergoing a restoration when it sustained damage during 2011’s dreadful Brisbane floods while in storage at an offsite location, resulting in work starting again and a total restoration to the condition you see today.
Now part of a diverse collection of important British cars, this open-top Jaguar has travelled less than 400 miles in its current ownership, which is reflected in its current condition.
Indicating 68,601 miles, the XK150 comes with a Jaguar Heritage Trust certificate and a history file with receipts.
Really, there is nothing to do but enjoy this ultimate ‘50s Jaguar sports car.
