Description
Capots Vintage, specialist in sports and collectible vehicles in Lyon, offers for sale a 1958 Jaguar XK150 S. E Coupe:
The model we are offering is a wonderful English coupe from the Jaguar marque, the XK150, unveiled in May 1957, ten years after the launch of the XK120 and succeeding the XK140. This final version of the XK series features softened lines and a windscreen as well as a rear windscreen now in a single curved plane.
Our model is an XK150 SE (Special Equipment) 4-seater coupe, in the 3. 4 L version developing 220 horsepower, fully restored between 2010 and 2011. As the restoration photo dossier shows, the bodywork was stripped, sanded, primed and repainted in its original colour, Pacific Blue. Ten years later, the result remains impeccable, bearing witness to high-quality workmanship.
The interior has also been completely redone: Connolly leather seats, headlining, dashboard, carpets, door panels and all trims have been restored to their original configuration, with a beige colour that pairs perfectly with the exterior dark blue.
Mechanically, a complete engine and carburettor overhaul was carried out. Still fitted with its Borg-Warner automatic transmission, as at factory release on 26 November 1957, it runs very well. For added comfort, enhancements such as electronic ignition and an alternator have been added. A four-piston big brake kit has also been mounted.
We have a restoration photo dossier, invoices, and provenance information dating back to 1969.
Photo and video dossier available on request.
