Sellers description:
JAGUAR XK150 Châssis n° s837154DN Carte grise française Rappelons que la XK 150 succédait à la XK 140, avec pour modifications principales une ligne plus fluide - décrochement entre ailes avant et arrières moins prononcé, grille de calandre élargie - et notamment un pare-brise panoramique d'une pièce beaucoup plus moderne que celui en deux parties des XK120 et 140. C'est une voiture très authentique, d'une ligne qui est un plaisir permanent pour les yeux, qui a un caractère historique sans être du passé: chacun porte en soi cette silhouette, aperçue dans des livres ou sur des magazines. Notre Jaguar XK 150 Cabriolet a été restaurée à partir du châssis, mécanique, carrosserie, trains roulants et sellerie cuir, jusqu'au faisceau électrique. Tout est neuf ! Elle est prête à prendre la route et n'a que 24815 km au compteur. Sa capote, elle aussi, est neuve. Il s'agit d'un véhicule dans état exceptionnel ! Un dossiert du travail effectué (photos) sera remis à son futur propriétaire. C'est la première fois que nous présentons une Jaguar XK 150 dans un tel état ! La XK 150 est une Jaguar qui a réellement marqué l'histoire de l'automobile et justifie l'admiration que la légendaire marque anglaise a acquise au cours de dizaines d'années de leadership technique et sportif.

1957 Jaguar XK150

Colour Green

Odometer 48,181 Kilometres

Engine size 3800cc

Transmission Manual, 4 speed

Steering position Left Hand Drive

Seller Type Private

Morbihan (Bretagne), France

Comprehensively renovated in 2009 with numerous performance upgrades

Upgraded from the original 3.4 to a more powerful 3.8-litre XK engine

Specially prepared for long-distance touring rallies

Hydraulic power steering and improved braking system added

Renovated in 2009 by specialist establishments Jofilcar for bodywork and Lorenzini Autosport in Lisbon, this XK150 features numerous mechanical improvements, including an engine upgrade from 3.4 to 3.8 litres, hydraulic power steering, and enhanced braking. 

Currently registered in France with a Carte Grise de Collection, this Jaguar embodies everything great about classic British grand tourers with modern reliability, making it a compelling option for enthusiasts seeking a classic that can be enjoyed on extended journeys.

History and Paperwork

First registered in Switzerland in 1957 with eight former registered keepers

Vehicle acquired by the current owner in 2021

Carte Grise de Collection

Non-matching numbers (replacement engine)

Complete maintenance and work records available since renovation by Jofilcar for bodywork and Lorenzini Autosport in Lisbon, Portugal

Car renovated with significant improvements for long-distance touring rally use

Vehicle stored in a heated garage

The Condition

Paint has aged well since 2009, with some barely visible micro-scratches; would benefit from simple polishing

Slight deformation of the rear bumper

Leather seats and rear benches present well

Door panel trim and dashboard are also in very good order

As the photographs show, this Jaguar presents exceedingly well for its age. There are a few small imperfections to note, but nothing that significantly detracts from this being a very fine example of this beautiful post-war GT. The bodywork looks straight and solid, the doors appear to fit well, and the folding roof reportedly latches as it should. The paint finish is very good overall, with a little "orange peel" in places and a few fine scratches noted by the vendor. The chrome looks good too, including the wire wheels, while the vendor notes a slight deformation of the rear bumper. Overall, a very presentable example of the model.

The Mechanics

3.8-litre DOHC XK straight-six

Four-speed manual plus overdrive

Original 3.4 engine replaced in 2009 during renovation with a 3.8 engine

Engine always maintained by specialists, starts immediately, whether hot or cold, we are told

Improvements made since the total renovation in 2009 include:

Aluminium fuel tank

Aluminium radiator

Electric cooling fan

Electronic ignition

Koni shock absorbers

4-piston front brake callipers

Stainless steel exhaust system

Hydraulic power steering

Large diameter front stabilizer bar

Clutch, flywheel, transmitter and receiver changed in 2017

The vendor notes that the Jaguar is very pleasant to drive with a powerful engine that revs quickly. The additional performance from its 3.8-litre XK straight-six is reported to make a notable difference, while the other upgrades noted above all contribute to this being an eminently usable car.
