Old English White with Red Leather Interior

This particular car is a matching-numbers 3.4 liter XK150S that is extremely sound throughout. Its current owner purchased it in the Netherlands, where it had run several rallies including the Tulip. He imported the car to the United Kingdom, where he used and enjoyed the car for several years, including at Goodwood, and then imported it to the United States, where he has used it in a number of events including the Going to the Sun Rally. The car benefits from a number of thoughtful mechanical upgrades to make it an excellent driving example that is ideal for tours and events. Included in the upgrades are a 5-speed manual transmission conversion, as well as J.D. Classics sport fast road brake kit. The car comes with records from the last several years, showing regular maintenance and care, including the above upgrades, as well as new tires, new shocks, new engine wiring harness, rebuilt starter, new clutch, clutch hydraulics, and regular services. The total for this work was $26,060.05, and the original 4-speed overdrive gearbox is included with the car. The car is also equipped with a full stainless dual exhaust.

The car is structurally excellent and presents well. It has a nice even patina, with excellent solid panels and good paintwork. Close inspection reveals chips and stress cracks, but the panels fit and operate well, especially the doors. The chrome is very nice throughout, with no significant pitting, and only light scratches. The wheels are excellent, and wear new tires, including the spare. The lights are excellent throughout, including the correct tripod type headlamps. The car is equipped with Lucas 'Flamethrower' fog lamps. The glazing is good throughout, though the windscreen has wiper marks and light road rash.

The interior is in very nice condition. The leather has just the right amount of patina, and the remainder of the interior has been redone and is very nice, with excellent red wool carpets, and excellent like new wood on the dashboard. The dashboard upholstery and door upholstery are both very good, and the instruments are excellent and function properly. The various trim and switches are also excellent. A modern stereo has been discreetly installed and has iPod integration. The steering wheel is in good shape, including the horn button, though there are some cracks in the finish on the rim. The top is black canvas and is very good, though there are areas of chafing on the outside near the bottom corners of the rear window.

The engine compartment is tidy and clean, with nicely polished valve covers and carburetor float bowls. The triple carburetor setup is impressive and evocative, and the engine compartment is largely stock in appearance. There is an electric Kenlowe fan fitted to keep the car running cool. The trunk is correctly upholstered in red. The spare tire cover has been restored with new paint and a new leather pull strap, and the spare is in great shape, with a new tire. The T-handle is still present and the latches work correctly. The car has some tools still affixed to the underside of the spare tire cover.

The car is an absolute joy to drive. The engine runs well, makes great power, and sounds superb. The engine displays good oil pressure and does not smoke. The gearbox is excellent, with modern synchromesh which makes it a pleasure to use, as does the tall 5th gear ratio, which makes for good cruising at modern highway speeds. The chassis is solid, quiet, and reassuring, and the car displays excellent roadholding. The brakes work superbly with excellent bite and balance. The car has a wonderful coherent feel that blends the inimitable 1950's sports car feel with welcome usability updates to ensure that this is a pleasure to use and enjoy on modern roads, and would make an exceptional event car.

This is an excellent opportunity to acquire a wholesome and very sound XK150S. The most developed of the XKs, a genuine XK150 S commands a significant premium over a standard XK150, and a structurally excellent matching numbers Roadster such as this one even more so. This car has an excellent blend of vintage feel and modern upgrades to make it a superb driver's car, and it has been properly maintained to ensure that it should perform well on long distance events and tours. It is complete with many thousands of dollars of invoices, some tools, tonneau cover, owner's manual, and poster-sized service chart.

This 1960 XK150 S roadster is one of only 924 produced for 1960. The drophead sports car underwent a frame-off restoration some time ago, and it was subsequently modified with performance and safety improvements by its previous owner to endure road-rally competition, both at home and abroad. The 3.4L S version of the DOHC inline 6-cylinder engine is outfitted with triple SU side-draft carburetors on a split intake manifold for a factory-rated 250 HP at 5,500 RPM and 216 lb-ft of torque at 3,000 RPM. The engine is backed by an upgraded 5-speed manual transmission, chosen over the original 4-speed. An aluminum radiator with electric fan helps control engine temperature, and JD Classics 4-wheel disc brakes slow the roadster from speed. The shocks, clutch, wiring harness and starter were all rebuilt or replaced as the XK150 S participated in rallies in the Netherlands, Great Britain and the United States. Classic style starts with a signature leaper Jaguar hood ornament and flows out over the Old English White roadster body with Lucas tripod-style main headlamps joined by a pair of auxiliary driving lights. Front and rear bumper guards add protection. Stowing the black fabric soft top or tonneau cover reveals a red leather interior centered by a pair of low-back sport bucket seats with modern race-specification Pyrotect harnesses. Genuine burl wood and Smiths instrumentation grace the dash. Stainless-steel exhaust delivers DOHC 6-cylinder sound, with a concealed audio system providing entertainment to supplement. The Jaguar rides on 16-inch chrome wire knock-off wheels with Michelin radial tires.

Classically finished in Old English White with bright red leather and silver wire wheels, it appears that this 'Chocolate Box' XK150'S' has lead a long and interesting life. On offer from a deceased estate, it's more recent history is not available, however we are lucky to have descriptions from a couple of auction houses who have offered the car in the past. From its Jaguar Heritage, we know that it was built in left-hand drive during January 1959 and that the original chassis and engine numbers match those currently in place. We believe the car was exported to the Netherlands for a period and was purchased there before spending some time in the UK and was subsequently exported to the US. We have a description of the Jaguar when it was offered for sale in June 2011 and offer it below to help get a bit of a feel for the XK

"This particular car is a matching-numbers, 3.4-litre XK150S that is extremely sound throughout.

It is complete with many thousands of dollars of invoices, some tools, tonneau cover, owner's manual, and poster-sized service chart."

NB; This description dates from 9 years ago and, obviously, some things may have changed.

With the car is its UK V5C which states that it was first UK-registered on January the 1st 2018 and also an MOT dated 20/12/2017 with the mileage indicated at 23,598 miles. (The odometer currently reads 30,808). There is also a receipt for UK Import Duty, Import VAT, Admin Fee and Agency Fee totalling £4,290 (stamped 'Received') and an Idaho Certificate of Title in the name of Terence John O'Reilly and dated 26/08/2013.

As can be seen from our photographs and video this venerable Jaguar presents particularly well and, although not quite Concours, it's bound to be admired everywhere. With the thoughtful mechanical upgrades, it will be a pleasure to drive and equipped with 'Pyrotect' harnesses it may well be useful on club sprints, hill climbs and rallies. 

Sensibly guided, this is a delightful example of the final incarnation of the legendary XK-Series and is sure to offer its next owner many years of classic Jaguar motoring.

Car now offered at:

pendine.com/cars-for-sale/1959-jaguar-xk150-3-4s/

Seller's description:

Prepared for touring and gentle rallying, this 3.4 ‘S’ has already proven itself with a life touring extensively in Belgium, the USA and the UK. Though standard to the immediate eye, bonnet strap notwithstanding, the car has all the right upgrades such as a five speed box, JD Classics ‘Sport Fast Road’ disc brakes, Guy Broad polybush and anti-roll kit, stainless exhaust, aluminium radiator, electric fan etcetera. And for that fast run to the European sun the speedometer is already in kilometres, with stereo and an Ipod connection for good company. And with less than 200 miles since a very thorough £5,872 service the new owner can tour with confidence and comfort. Matching engine block, cylinder head and body of course.There are a few “restored” examples of the 3.4 ‘S’ OTS on offer which may satisfy the eye, but will struggle to provide the same motoring experience as this car. Offered with exceptional value at just £112,500

This 1959 Jaguar XK150 3.4L S is a left-hand-drive, open two-seater that was completed on January 1, 1959 and distributed to the US through Jaguar Cars of New York. The car was refurbished before being brought to the Netherlands over 25 years ago and reportedly participated in various vintage rallies in the UK and US before returning to the UK in 2018. Finished in white with a black soft top over red leather upholstery, the car is powered by a numbers-matching 3.4-liter inline-six equipped with triple SU carburetors and a revised cylinder head and paired with a five-speed manual transmission. Features include JD Classics Sport Fast Road four-wheel disc brakes, a Guy Broad anti-roll kit and polyurethane bushings, Lucas driving lights, a bonnet strap, two-point Pyrotect harnesses, a CD stereo, an electric cooling fan, and a stainless steel exhaust system. Work in 2020 consisted of rebuilding the brakes, repairing the electric choke, and replacing the exhaust manifolds, ball joints, rear springs, and split pins. This XK150 is now offered on consignment by the selling dealer in England with a tool kit, service records, UK registration, and free shipping to East Coast US ports.

Finished from the factory in Carmen Red, the car was repainted white during previous ownership. Features include Tripod headlights, Lucas driving lamps, a Leaper hood ornament, fender-mounted side mirrors, and chrome bumpers with overriders. The black soft top and tonneau cover were repaired by Project Shop of Bicester, England in June 2020, and a badge bar was installed along with a leather hood strap. Paint blemishes are shown up close in the gallery below.

Chrome-finished 16″ wire wheels with two-ear knock-offs are wrapped in 186R16 Michelin X Radial tires. Braking is handled by JD Classics Sport Fast Road power-assisted disc brakes at all four corners, while the suspension has been modified with Guy Broad polyurethane bushings and an anti-roll kit. In 2020, Classic Project Shop of Bicester, England rebuilt the brakes, performed an alignment, and replaced three of the wheels along with the split pins, ball joints, rear springs, and the shock absorber and anti-roll bushings.

Originally trimmed in black, the interior has been reupholstered in red with leather seats and matching carpets. Modifications include a JVC CD stereo with an auxiliary input mounted in the glovebox, two-point Pyrotect harnesses, and an under-dash battery switch. The footwell panels and wiring behind the dashboard were repaired in 2020. The harnesses are dated from 1989 and a tear in the upholstery is documented.

A four-spoke steering wheel fronts a wood-trimmed central instrument panel housing a tachometer with a 5,500-rpm redline and a 240-km/h speedometer along with auxiliary gauges for fuel level, amperage, oil pressure, and water temperature. The five-digit odometer shows 31k kilometers (~20k miles), though true mileage is unknown.

The 3.4-liter DOHC inline-six is equipped with a straight-port cylinder head along with three 2” SU HD8 carburetors and was rated at 250 horsepower. An electric cooling fan, a Kenlowe fan controller, an aluminum radiator, and a stainless steel exhaust system have been installed. Services performed in 2020 by Classic Project Shop of Bicester, England included repairing the electric choke and replacing the exhaust manifolds, an engine mount, and hardware for the cylinder head and camshaft covers.

Cylinder head stamping VS 1748-9 matches the numbers shown on the engine block and data plate.

Power is delivered to the rear wheels via a five-speed manual transmission. A clutch adjustment was performed in 2020.

The Jaguar Heritage Trust certificate indicates a manufacture date of January 1, 1959, along with original distribution through Jaguar Cars of New York, serial numbers, and factory colors. The UK registration declares that vehicle was manufactured in 1960, and the previous US title also lists the vehicle as a 1960 model.
