Additional description from above auction:

Lot 341
1958 Jaguar XK150S 3.4-liter Roadster
Chassis no. T831867DN
Engine no. VS1715-9
Body no. F16890

• 3,442cc in-line six-cylinder
• Four-speed manual transmission plus overdrive
• Two year restoration completed in 2007
• Factory tool kit
• Fitted leather luggage

Finished in the suitably sporting color combination of red with black upholstery, this XK150 is the desirable 'S' model as denoted by the chassis and engine numbers. Completed in December 1958 and delivered the following year. The 'S' featured triple SU HD8 carburetors, a revised Weslake-developed cylinder head and high compression pistons, raising power from 190 to 250bhp. Only 888 XK150S Roadsters were made to this specification, making them highly sought after today. Having undergone a two-year restoration, the Jaguar was completed in 2007 and joined the Oldenburg Collection soon thereafter. Complete with a factory tool kit and desirable fitted leather luggage, this is a superb example of Jaguar's ultimate expression of the XK sports car.

Lot 268
1959 Jaguar XK 150S Roadster
To be auctioned on Saturday, March 8, 2008
Sold for $154,000
Chassis no. VS17159

Options on all XK150s included a Borg-Warner automatic transmission and the choice between steel and wire wheels, while a limited-slip differential could be specified on an S model. Out of a total production of 2265 XK150 Roadsters, only 888 were to S specification and today they are highly prized.

This XK150S has recently undergone a complete restoration to a high standard, taking two years and finished in 2007. Extra features include a factory tool kit, while fitted leather luggage adds that finishing touch. A superb example of this attractive car, with the most desirable specification, this Jaguar is certain to provide entertaining motoring for its next owner.
