The seller offers for sale a 1957 Jaguar XK150, presented after a major restoration by professionals. The car was imported from the United States in 2005 and underwent a bottom-up rebuild with over 3,500 man-hours invested. It retains matching numbers and comes with historical authentication from the local authority. Since restoration, it has covered just 419 km. The car starts reliably, produces no smoke, runs without unusual noises, and the gearbox shifts smoothly. The paint has been sandblasted and refinished in a striking dark blue, while the interior is reworked with leather upholstery and plush carpeting. All instruments function as intended, making this example ready for both show and occasional drives.
The Jaguar XK150 succeeded the XK140 in 1957 and represented the final evolution of the legendary XK line. With improved braking, refined styling, and enhanced comfort, it was seen as a more usable grand tourer while retaining Jaguar’s sporting DNA. Available in fixed-head, drophead, and roadster configurations, the XK150 offered drivers a balance of British elegance and robust performance. Its 3.4-liter straight-six provided smooth power delivery, while disc brakes on all four wheels marked a major advancement in safety for the era. Admired by collectors for its timeless design, rarity, and association with Jaguar’s golden age, the XK150 remains a highly desirable classic that combines grace and pace in equal measure.
