The 1958 Jaguar XK150, chassis #S830696, offered here is a wonderful 3 owner, matching numbers (engine #V4415-8) example originally delivered to a presumed UCLA professor named Richard Kornhauser of Escondido, California. Both the original vehicle title and the Jaguar Heritage Certificate confirm this information and like most Jags of the period, it arrived onto our shores through Hoffman Motorcars in New York. Importantly, the Jaguar is a bonafide CA black plate example. After over 20 years in the dry southwest climate, the XK150 was purchased by a Nazareth, Pennsylvania-based individual in 1982. At some point within this new ownership, the Jaguar had its interior refinished in the delivery correct specification of red. Consistently well cared for, the vehicle was preserved in climate-controlled storage during this period. When the property which held the car was sold in 2016 when the current owner became the next caretaker. 

During the same year as the sale of the property, the Jaguar was sent to K&T Vintage Sports Cars LLC of Allentown, PA for a recommissioning. Invoices on file detail the numerous jobs performed on the vehicle which included fixing a coolant leak issue with new hoses and a new radiator. Additionally, some wiring issues were fixed within the dash to address an ill-functioning turn signal along with some other electrical gremlins. Further, the car received new tires and chrome wheels (the originals will be included upon sale.) Lastly, the new mirrors were fitted along with a new clutch slave cylinder. Additional work is detailed in these invoices and is available for viewing. 

Thanks to its extended stay in the dry California environment, this XK150 presents as a wonderful driver-quality car with minimal signs of corrosion. There is a lovely mix of original and new parts as the Jaguar was repaired as needed throughout its life. While some cosmetic flaws are apparent, they are inviting in quality and alleviate any anxiety one might have of damaging the car on a drive. Today, the XK still wears its attractive delivery colors of cream over red leather and additionally, the Jaguar sports disc brakes. Further evidence of the care placed onto this XK150, it arrives complete with a wonderful suite of accouterment including original tools in reproduction roll, jack, owner’s manual, and a new spare tire. 

A well-preserved example such as this is sure to remain a desirable entity within the classic car hobby for decades to come. As the final evolution of the XK nameplate first introduced in the 1940s, these cars are well refined and comfortable to operate. They offer everything one could want from a classic Jag: handsome looks, a sonorous, powerful motor, and sporty handling.

Lot #73482

This 1958 Jaguar XK150 is a left-hand-drive open two-seater that was delivered new in California. It reportedly moved to Pennsylvania in 1982 and was acquired by the current owner in 2016. The car is finished in Cream over red leather and powered by a numbers-matching 3.4-liter inline-six paired with a four-speed manual transmission. Equipment includes a Fawn soft top, 16″ wire wheels, disc brakes, driving lights, a luggage rack, and an aluminum radiator. Work carried out in anticipation of the sale consisted of repairing the front bodywork, rebuilding the speedometer and right door latch, flushing the coolant, and replacing the starter. This XK150 is now offered on dealer consignment in Oregon with partial service records, manuals, a Jaguar Heritage Trust certificate, and a clean Pennsylvania title.

The car is finished in Cream and the nose bodywork was repaired in anticipation of the sale. Equipment includes a replacement Fawn soft top, chrome bumpers with overriders, driving lights, fender vents, dual fender-mounted side mirrors, a luggage rack, and dual exhaust outlets.

Replacement 16″ chrome wire wheels are mounted using two-eared knockoffs, and Vredestein Sprint Classic tires were installed in 2016. Stopping power is provided by four-wheel disc brakes.

The cabin features reupholstered red leather seats along with a matching dash pad and door panels. Additional equipment includes red carpets with floor mats, a dash-mounted rearview mirror, a locking glovebox, and map pockets in both doors. The right door latch was recently rebuilt, and blemishes are noted inside the door jams.

The four-spoke steering wheel fronts an upholstered central instrument panel housing a 140-mph speedometer, a tachometer, and gauges for fuel level, amperage, oil pressure, and water temperature. The five-digit odometer shows 15k miles, approximately 100 of which were added under current ownership. The speedometer was recently rebuilt, and the true mileage is unknown.

The 3.4-liter DOHC inline-six is equipped with dual SU carburetors. An aluminum radiator has been installed, and service in anticipation of the sale consisted of flushing the coolant and replacing the starter.

Cylinder head stamping V 4415-8 matches the numbers on the engine block, data plate, and Jaguar Heritage Trust certificate.

Power is sent to the rear wheels through a four-speed manual transmission. The exhaust system was previously replaced.

The Jaguar Heritage Trust certificate lists a build date of June 13, 1958, and notes the original colors and identification numbers. Manuals and a selection of service records are also included in the sale.

The current Pennsylvania title carries an Antique Vehicle brand.
