The car on offer is a Jaguar XK 150 Drophead Coupe, manufactured in November 1958, registered in 1959, and sold by Jaguar New York. The production sheet provided by Jaguar Heritage mentions that this was a left-hand drive car, made for the US market. It was delivered with a cream-coloured exterior that it still features today. The carpets and the leather upholstery are blue, as well as the matching hood, and wire wheels complete the set.
In the beginning of the 1990s, the car arrived in France, and it was then completely restored. In order to take full advantage of the performance of the car, it is equipped with a 5-speed Tremec mechanical gearbox and disc brakes on all four wheels, the rear drums have been replaced by discs. It comes with a comprehensive history file, detailing the regular services and the car's history. This car, with a restoration from some years ago, has a very pleasant and homogeneous patina. Its current owner has enjoyed the car since 2010, and as a member of the Jaguar Owners Club France, the car has participated in many outings. In good general condition, it will satisfy enthusiasts of long distance driving thanks to its technical improvements.

Garden Party In Saint-Tropez

1958 Jaguar XK150 3.4L DHC

Lot 112

Monaco title

Chassis no. S837836BW

- 5-speed gearbox and 4 disc brakes

- Extensive maintenance file

- Uniform patina

This is an interesting left-hand drive version of the Jaguar XK 150 convertible, which rolled off the production line on 10th November 1958 headed for the United States, where it was sold by Jaguar New York on 28th November 1958 to a certain R.S. Thompson. Its Jaguar Heritage certificate confirms that it was delivered new in cream, with a Borg Warner gearbox. This beautiful XK was imported to France in the early 1990s and fully restored. It kept its original colour which blends nicely with a handsome blue leather interior with matching carpets and soft top, all set off by chrome-plated wire wheels. To make the most of the car's capabilities, a Tremec 5-speed manual gearbox was fitted, and disc brakes replaced the rear drums. The milometer was also replaced by a speedometer in kph, and bucket seats offering better support were installed. Its previous owner, a member of the Amicale Jaguar de France, kept it for 7 years, before selling it to its current owner in 2017 at an Artcurial Motorcars sale in Monaco. The car comes with a comprehensive file, detailing the regular servicing it has undergone. With a uniform patina, it is in good working order, and we were able to test how well it runs. With a greater level of comfort than the roadster thanks to better protection, this elegant convertible is the ideal ride for long trips enhanced by the performance of the brilliant XK engine.
