1959 Jaguar XK150 DHC Tour and Driving | Bring a Trailer

This 1959 Jaguar XK150 drop-head coupe is finished in Imperial Maroon lacquer with a tan top over a tan interior, and is powered by a numbers-matching 3.4L DOHC inline-six mated to a four-speed manual gearbox. It was built on August 12, 1958 for distribution by Jaguar Cars of New York as a Personal Export Delivery model, with original registration in the UK before importation to the US. The car was acquired in 1980 by its previous owner, who commissioned a restoration by marque specialists JK Restorations in Chicago, Illinois. It was subsequently displayed at several JCNA concours events in the late 1980s, and the seller brought the car to Montana with his purchase in 1994. Work carried out during the seller’s ownership has included adding electronic ignition, rebuilding the carburetors, refreshing the brake system, and replacing the clutch.

The 3.4-liter XK inline-six was rebuilt during the restoration along with ancillary mechanical components, and the four-speed manual gearbox was rebuilt with sychromesh on all gears. The twin SU carburetors have been rebuilt during the seller’s ownership, and electronic ignition has been added.
