Highlights
- Desirable 3.4-litre SE (Special Equipment) Fixed Head Coupé
- Original UK-supplied, right-hand drive example
- Jaguar Heritage Certificate
- Comprehensive body and mechanical restoration recently completed
The Appeal
The XK150 was a natural evolution of what came before it - a summation of learning, refining the raw athleticism of the XK120 and XK140 with improved brakes, greater refinement and a more generous cabin. The Fixed Head Coupé, with its elegant roofline and grand touring character, remains one of the most coveted variants, and the SE specification adds a further layer of desirability, thanks to that extra 20hp on tap.
This 1958 example is a particularly appealing prospect. It is an original UK-supplied, right-hand drive car with Jaguar Heritage Certificate, that has recently undergone a comprehensive restoration encompassing both body and mechanicals, with renewed brightwork, fresh panels and a rebuilt engine among the highlights.
The car was exported to South Africa in the 1960's and returned in 1971
The vendor describes it as a very usable car that will put a smile on your face, and we're very much inclined to agree; pure Jaguar magic from the marque's golden age.
