1959 Jaguar XK150 3.8 Litre Fixed Head Coupé
Subject to a comprehensive, bare chassis restoration costing in excess of £100,000

The XK150 was the first production Jaguar to be equipped with disc brakes and initially offered in Fixed Head Coupe and Drophead Coupe guise, the Roadster following in 1958. By the time production ended in October 1960 to make way for the E-Type, some 4,445 FHCs had been produced, of which just 1,368 were RHD examples.

This original UK right hand drive FHC was subject to a body off ‘no expense spared’ restoration in the early 2010’s and has covered less than 2,000 miles since. As described in a Classic Cars 'dream drive' feature on file, it was 'made by proper engineers with one mind at the helm'. As such the interior is an opulent place to sit with door to door mahogany, finest leather and Wilton carpet. Performance is delivered by the 3.8-litre straight six with D-Type cams and straight port head with fuel feeding through twin 2" SU's and retardation via four wheel uprated disc brakes. Cooling is aided by a louvred bonnet and large Revotec fan with aluminium header tank. The original Moss box is described as working perfectly along with the overdrive. Further upgrades include twin fuel tanks, Vicarage power steering, large bore exhaust and aluminium and chrome Turrino wire wheels and a chrome boot rack. Following completion of the restoration health reasons meant only a thousand or so miles were covered prior to its purchase at auction by the vendor for over £80k in 2020. Since then, a further £3000 has been spent on annual servicing and MOT maintenance. With current MOT with no advisories to February 2026, it has been serviced in preparation for sale with the relevant invoice for £1300 on file. Offered with Heritage Certificate, copy of the original buff logbook, V5C document and assorted MOT certificates, it is a fascinating and uniquely improved and upgraded example and yet faithful to the original concept of the era defining Jaguar XK.
