This 1958 Jaguar XK150 is a left-hand-drive drophead coupe that was built in September 1957 and was acquired by the seller in July 2013. The car is finished in British Racing Green with a tan soft top over a tan leather interior and is powered by a numbers-matching 3.4L inline-six that drives the rear wheels through a four-speed manual transmission. Additional features include wire wheels, whitewall tires, and a wood-rimmed Victor Derrington steering wheel. The car was refinished by a previous owner, and in 2019, the tires were replaced and the interior was refreshed with replacement carpeting as well as leather seat covers and door panels. This XK150 DHC is now offered with a Jaguar Heritage Trust certificate, service records, an owner’s manual, and a clean Ohio title in the seller’s name.
The car was delivered new in British Racing Green with a Sand-colored soft top. The seller states that it was refinished during prior ownership, and the paintwork and exterior trim are shown in detail in the photo gallery below.
Chrome-finished 16″ wire wheels wear two-ear Jaguar knockoffs and were reportedly mounted with new Auburn Diamondback whitewall tires in September 2019.
The car left the factory with a tan leather interior, which was refurbished by Tritex Corporation of Columbus, Ohio, in January 2019. The work included a rebuild of the seats and replacement of the leather upholstery, door panels, and carpeting.
The wood-rimmed Victor Derrington steering wheel wears a Jaguar center cap and sits ahead of Smiths instrumentation including a 6k-rpm tachometer with an inset analog clock, a 140-mph speedometer, and auxiliary gauges. The five-digit odometer shows 46k miles, approximately 500 of which were added by the seller over the previous seven years.
The 3.4-liter DOHC inline-six delivers power to the rear wheels through a four-speed manual gearbox. The battery was replaced in November 2018.
Cylinder head stamping V1660-8 is shown above and matches the number listed on the Jaguar Heritage Trust Certificate as well as the data plate affixed to the car, which is shown in the photo gallery below. A matching engine block stamping is also provided in the gallery.
Additional photos of the underside are available in the gallery as well.
The Jaguar Heritage Trust certificate indicates a built date of September 12, 1957, along with the factory colors and serial numbers.
