$90,000 - $120,000 Offered without reserve
RM | Sotheby's - ARIZONA 2018
Chassis No.S 831469
Engine No. V 5638-8
Gearbox No. JL 42171 JS
Body No.F 16474

Original colors, never fully restored
Long-term ownership by the consignor
A numbers-matching example
Jaguar Daimler Heritage Certificate included

The example offered here, chassis no. S 831469, was completed on 1 October 1958 and was shipped to Jaguar Cars in New York on 21 October of that same year. The car features its original, stunning color combination of Mist Grey over red interior with a black convertible top. It has been owned by the consignor for approximately the last 25 years and has never been fully restored. The car was repainted in its original shade approximately two years ago, and is currently fitted with Jaguar E-Type wire wheels, though the original XK 150 wheels are included.

As the last of the fabled series of sporting Jaguars, the XK 150 represents the end of an era. Even today, some 60 years after it was designed, it still provides the owner with an incredible and unforgettable open-air driving experience.
