Description
Capots Vintage, specialist in classic and prestige cars in Lyon, presents a 1958 Jaguar XK150 S. E Cabriolet:
We present a magnificent English drop-top from the Jaguar marque. Ten years after the introduction of the first XK, the XK120, and the XK140, Jaguar unveiled in May 1957 the ultimate version of the range: the XK150. Its design was softened, and its windscreen is now a single curved plane.
The model we present is a Jaguar XK150 SE (Special Equipment) Cabriolet 4-seater, equipped with the 6-cylinder 3. 4 L engine developing 210 horsepower and the overdrive option. This vehicle was delivered new in September 1958 to Paris by the official importer Royal Élysée. It stands out for its exceptional configuration, its impeccable condition, and its total conformity to the original numbers and colours, or matching numbers and matching colours with its Mist Grey exterior and red leather interior. According to Jaguar Heritage archives, this car is said to have served as a “show car”, probably at the Paris Motor Show in 1958 or 1959. We hold a complete and rare history: the last owner received this vehicle as a gift from his father in 1962 and has kept it to this day. Thanks to invoices and documents relating to the restorations carried out, we can attest to its mileage, an exceptional feature for a vehicle of this age.
The car has always been maintained by professionals. In 1989, it was sent to England to a renowned specialist for a full restoration of the bodywork and gearbox. Although this restoration is more than 30 years old, the current state of the car testifies to the quality of the work. The engine was completely rebuilt in 2004 and has covered only 20, 000 km since. Its road manners are impeccable. The red leather upholstery is original and shows a lovely patina. Only the dashboard and the carpets have been recently restored (while preserving the original elements).
A full service has just been carried out in our workshops, no additional costs to enjoy this superb XK.
Trade-in possible on your sports or collection vehicle.
