Specifications
Description
E-type not exclusive enough?
Then why not consider the XK150?
With only its successor the E-Type to challenge it, the Jaguar XK150 can lay claim to the title of the greatest post-war production sports car in the world. In their time, they were absolutely without parallel. They have incredible style, a terrific heritage and superb performance – even by today's standards. These fine examples of British engineering are also practical too, which is paramount for any old car that's going to see regular use.
ABOUT THIS CAR
- First registered in NZ in 1958 - sold new by Jaguar cars New York, USA.
- From the information available, it looks like this car has had only one owner for 53 years in Napier, New Zealand.
- We understand that this car was restored by the original owner's family in 2006, before it was sold to the second owner in 2010. It looks like all wooden frames were replaced, that the car had a body off repaint, had a full leather interior fitted, carpets, hood lining etc and also had the engine reconditioned at the time.
- The mileage reading on the odometer today is what the car has traveled since engine reconditioning in 2006.
- Recent work include mew mats, a power steering was fitted, which makes life so much easier. A new radiator was also fitted.
- Comes with a Jaguar full synchro gearbox and triple carburetors.
- Servicing and maintenance records available with car
- Immaculate body and paint, chrome work and interior.
- Wire wheels on good Bridgestone tires with plenty of thread.
- A really fast, luxurious appointed Coventry built coupe in Immaculate Condition Throughout
- A pleasure to drive behind the famous twin o.h.c. six-cylinder engine, which has won so many sports-car races for Jaguar.
- The Jaguar XK150 coupe is a very acceptable fast car, carrying on a great tradition with dignity and enhanced very real high performance. This not only in respect of a maximum speed exceeding 125 m.p.h. but because road holding, steering and braking are all in keeping.
- A truly awesome piece of engineering and a great investment classic car with values roaring ahead.
The XK150 is the last of the legendary range of XK sports cars, the 150 remained true to the formula on which Jaguar built a dynasty. This is a classic car with character, that is more comfortable than the XK's before it. A solid investment car, seemingly content to fulfill the role of a grand tourer. If long distance cruising with a generous dash of panache is your requirement, you won't go wrong with this iconic XK150.
