The Appeal
Enthusiasts have a soft spot for Jaguar’s XK150 Fixed Head Coupe. Beyond the beauty, these cars are practical and usable classics perfectly suited for classic events and touring, particularly when fitted with choice upgrades.
This extensively restored 1958 XK150 FHC seems tailor-made for that sort of use. Enhancements like a 5spd box improve its long-legged capabilities while a rebuilt engine, alloy radiator, electric fan, high torque starter and new fuel tank contribute to better reliability.
The work was clearly done to a high standard, including finishing in black over tan and converting to RHD. It has hardly been used since due to the death of the registered keeper. That means it comes to the buyer with the benefit of all that work and simply ready to enjoy.
The History and Paperwork
- Factory built on 3rd October 1958
- Chassis records confirm this car was a LHD FHC built in late 1958 with overdrive gearbox
- The car also left the factory as a ‘Special Equipment’ with fittings such as wire wheels
- Delivered to Jaguar Cars in New York, USA
- Originally painted cream with dark blue interior
- Registered on central XK Data database
- First UK registered on 1st January 2021
- One registered keeper since arriving in the UK
- Comprehensive recent restoration to a high standard
- Vendor reports that the car has barely been used since
- Has been unused for 12 months so may require some light recommissioning
- For sale due to deceased keeper
- Showing 2 miles which may indicate the speedometer was zero’d when car rebuilt
The Condition
- Restored car finished to a high standard in black with very good paintwork
- Reported by seller to have a ‘good chassis’ reportedly without corrosion

- Front and rear bumpers have had over riders removed
- Chromework in good order with bright finish and no visible tarnish
- Tan leather interior retrimmed to high standard with no obvious signs of wear
- Carpets in good order and professionally retrimmed but may require some refitting

About Max Bids
The max bid process allows you to bid without any hassle.
Enter your maximum bid and we will then bid on your behalf to ensure you're the highest bidder - just enough to keep you in the lead and only up until your maximum.
Anti-sniping
Car & Classic prevent auction snipers from bidding in the last seconds to win an auction.
Auctions are extended by 3 minutes if anyone bids within the last 2 minutes to allow other bidders to react and counter-bid.
Auto-bidding increments
- If your maximum bid is equal to or below the reserve price, your maximum bid will be applied in full if you are the highest bidder.
- If you are the highest bidder and place a maximum bid above the reserve, we will automatically put in the reserve as your first bid.
-
- Once the reserve has been met, Car & Classic will make sure you are the highest bidder using only the bidding increments stated below.
- We will keep you in the lead up until your maximum bid OR the increment closest to your maximum bid, providing your maximum bid is enough to cover the increment value.
| Bid Amount | Increment |
|---|---|
| £0 to £9,999 | £100.00 |
| £10,000 to £49,999 | £250.00 |
| £50,000 to £99,999 | £500.00 |
| £100,000 + | £1,000.00 |
Automatically outbid immediately
When you place a max bid and are outbid immediately that means that another bidder has placed a max bid limit which is higher than yours.
You can bid again and we will use our automatic bid system to try and get you as the highest bidder.
Matching max bids
When there are two max bids of the same value, the one placed first remains the lead bidder.
Pre-authorisation
We may hold a pre-authorisation charge on your card until the end of the auction when the hold will be cancelled. If you win, we'll take a security deposit which counts towards the payment for the vehicle and isn't any extra cost to you.
What are pre-bids?
A pre-bid means you're able to place a bid before the official start of the auction.
You will be notified whether or not you are the highest bidder when the auction starts.
Problem with your bid
Bids are contractually binding. To help protect you, we have some rules in place if we think it's been mistyped. Please check and amend what you have entered.
