Rare and Highly Original 1959 Jaguar XK150S Roadster Out of 50 Year Ownership 

This incredibly desirable 1959 Jaguar XK150S Roadster is an excellent original example out of 50 year ownership. Burgundy with original burgundy leather interior. It runs and drives well. The head is matching numbers but the block has been upgraded to a 3.8 liter unit at some point in the car's life. The paint is presentible from a few feet away but is not without its flaws upon closer inspection. The chrome shows well overall and the original interior showcases a lovely patina. A solid, straight, and honest car out of a good loving home. An unrestored car and a rare find. The desirable "S" performance model remains the most powerful street motor that Jaguar produced for the XK150. It represents the pinnacle of the XK150 lineup. It managed this significant bump in power through the use of a Weslake-developed straight-port cylinder head, high-compression pistons, and triple SU carburetors. This particular example represents an exciting opportunity for its next loving caretaker. Not to be overlooked by the enthusiast and collector alike.

This car 831771 was built Nov 1958.One year earlier.

Cyl head and block came from another vehicle.and is dated from Oct/Nov 1959.

The heritage certificate is just an application , not a true certificate.

Buyer beware of misrepresented vehicles.

Seller's description:

After an extensive restoration process that lasted several years, this Jaguar is in amazing shape. Thanks to some revolutionary technical innovations, the XK 150 3.4S engine has always been one of the most highly regarded engines of its time, known for its reliability, flexibility, and performance. Not only does it have an aluminum cylinder head, which contributes to lower weight and better heat dissipation, but it also uses a dry-sump lubrication system (the engine oil is stored in a separate oil tank rather than in a crankcase under the engine, which provides better lubrication at high speeds and in corners). That, combined with the fact that this 3.4-liter engine has been completely overhauled by the specialists at Van Giersbergen, makes the Jag ready to rumble! And you can take that quite literally. Thanks to the unique exhaust system that was especially designed to produce a deep and powerful 'jaguar growl', you will recognize this car from miles away. It doesn’t stop there. This Jaguar radiates from inside and out, from top to bottom. The new Maroon Red paint goes perfectly with the Dark Tan leather interior and the renewed chrome work. The dashboard, the original and restored items in the interior, the original armrests, and the dark red convertible top... everything is right. Even when you crawl under the car along the shiny spokes and Michelin Pilot X tires and look at the overhauled suspension and newly made chassis.

To top it all off, we are happy to announce that this Jaguar XK 150 3.4S OTS has 'matching numbers': the engine, body, gearbox, and chassis number all match the Heritage certificate and identification plate. The only modified feature is the newly installed 5-speed gearbox, with a modern alternator and 1-2-3 ignition. However, the car still comes with its original manual gearbox and therefore remains matching. This Jaguar is a beautiful example of a classic car that has been carefully restored while maintaining its original character.
