1958 Jaguar XK150 SE Coupe

The XK150 was the final incarnation of the XK and it appeared in May 1957. A more refined and capable machine than its predecessors, the 150 was easily identifiable by its higher scuttle and door line, wider grille and improved interior space. However, the XK150 retained much of the mechanical layout of the XK140 sharing the same 3.4 litre DOHC Jaguar straight-six, which developed 180bhp at 5750rpm. "The Jaguar XK150 is undeniably one of the world's fastest and safest cars. It is quiet and exceptionally refined mechanically, docile and comfortable... we do not know of any more outstanding example of value for money,' concluded The Autocar.

An original Right hand drive car manufactured 14th August 1958, "900 AOM' is ripe for restoration and features the factory "Special Equipment' package from new. This package included wire wheels, and an uprated engine that is mated to the original four-speed manual gearbox with overdrive and limited slip differential.

Appearing to be in notably solid condition the car is believed to be full matching numbers as confirmed by the accompanying Jaguar Heritage Certificate. Some minor recommissioning work has been undertaken on the car and we are told the engine runs well with good oil pressure. A stainless steel exhaust has been fitted along with new front brake calipers. The car comes with new windscreen chromes and wiring loom along with other assorted spare parts.

Inside the car seems to be very original, except for the carpets, and is mostly complete. The seats appear to be in remarkable condition considering their age and, along with the rest of the car, ripe for a very worthwhile restoration.

Presented with a Jaguar Heritage Certificate, the original buff logbook and a current V5C, "900 AOM' is a terrific motorcar that could be a "pride of joy" in a serious Jaguar enthusiasts' collection.
