Introduced during May 1957, the XK 150 built on the brilliant
heritage of Jaguars XK 120 and XK 140 as the final evolution of
Jaguars original, game-changing line of postwar sports cars.
Bearing a strong family resemblance to its predecessors, yet with
cleaner styling, the XK 150 was a refined product of careful
evolution with subtle design cues, improved engine cooling, and
better visibility with a modern one-piece curved windscreen. At
launch, the XK 150 was available in both Fixed Head and Drophead
Coupe body styles, with the Open Two Seater (Roadster) available
from March 1958.While similar to its stablemates at first glance,
the OTS was in fact quite different, with its cowl moved back four
inches to provide a longer hood and front fenders for a sportier
appearance. Convenient new roll-up windows were a first for Jaguars
roadsters. Jaguars international racing successes improved the
companys road models, with the XK 150 equipped with Dunlop
four-wheel disc brakes harnessing the power of its DOHC XK inline
6-cylionder engine, available in S tune with triple SU carburetors
and 250 HP for 1958-61 from 3.4 liters and in 3.8-liter, 265-HP
tune from 1959-61.This very attractive 1959 Jaguar XK 150S OTS is a
high-quality example of Jaguars legendary postwar sports cars and
continues to benefit handsomely from a restoration completed during
the late 1990s. Blessed with complete matching numbers, it is
powered by the original 250-HP, 3.4-liter DOHC engine and equipped
with very desirable factory overdrive for relaxed enjoyment at
higher speeds. Following assembly, it was dispatched to the United
States via Jaguar Cars, New York and subsequently sold to its first
owner in Colorado. More recently, it was part of a large
classic-car collection, where its eventual restoration was very
well preserved. Recently, the Jaguar was completely reupholstered
in Biscuit leather beautifully complementing the striking Carmen
Red paint finish and fitted with a new set of chrome wire wheels
and wide whitewall tires. Added electric power steering delivers
heightened driving ease. A Jaguar Daimler Heritage Trust
Certificate on file confirms original data.According to marque
authorities, Jaguar produced just 888 examples of the XK 150S with
the 250-HP, 3.4-liter powerplant from 1958-61. With its many
refinements and high factory specification, this handsomely
presented Jaguar marks the height of company founder Sir William
Lyons Grace, pace, and space philosophy. Contact us for a viewing
