1959 Jaguar XK150 Roadster

Please Read All

MotorCarTrader.com is excited to offer another beautiful classic Jaguar sports car.  This stunning 1959 Jaguar XK150 Roadster has been restored and had some really great driving upgrades. This  Jaguar XK150 OTS (Open Two Seater) was manufactured on March 24 of 1958. The date of dispatch was April 17 of the 1958. I first bought and sold this car after purchasing it from a JCNA club member and Jaguar collector in 2006.  The car then went to a private individual in the south. The owner commissioned a Jaguar shop in 2007  to perform very expensive and extensive modifications to this car to make it a one of a kind XK150 and better than a factory “S.” Some more details of this car and some of the work done:
  • The car was completely stripped and repainted in Imperial Maroon in 2006.
  • The interior and top were redone prior to our first ownership in 2006 and are in great shape. Also, the chrome and chrome wire wheels were also redone prior to 2006.
  • An upgraded and fully rebuilt 4.2 e-type (xke) engine  was installed in 2007. From what we understand, the rebuilt engine has less than 500 miles on it. The car has great oil pressure and the compression on all 6 cylinders is between 150psi to 160psi
  • A new and improved 5 speed transmission was installed to make shifting very easy with synchro in all gears. Also, a new clutch and lighter fly wheel were installed.
  • A new aluminum radiator was installed with an electric fan for better cooling.
  • A gear reduction starter was installed.
  • A new fuel pump was also installed.
  • A stainless steel exhaust system was added and stainless headers.
  • New wilwood brakes and drilled rotors were installed in the front of the car. All new brake system installed.
  • Rebuilt triple SU Carburetors were installed with an electric choke.
  • New insulation added under the carpeting of the cabin to provide for a cooler cabin.
  • There is no rust and the car has a solid frame.
  • This car has a Heritage certificate to confirm the Chassis number and body number.
  • Pictures of the work done are available and some listed below.
  • Has the original full tool kit, jack, T-bar tool and tools in place for spare tire compartment.
  • Polyurethane bushings have been installed.
  • New performance torsion bars were installed as well with new Koni shocks.
  • A spin on oil filter was installed.
  • Recently serviced (from sitting and lack of use), old gas drained, carburetors set up and rebuilt and cooling hoses replaced.

    Overall this is a great Jaguar XK150 Roadster with so many great upgrades that make this car truly unique and fun to drive. It is very easy and a pleasure to drive. In addition the car is truly stunning cosmetically. This car is a great investment and a wonderful car to enjoy. A great addition or start to any collection.

    Jaguar has something special planned for Goodwood

    Mon, 23 Jun 2014

    It's been barely a week since JLR announced its new Special Operations division, dedicated to creating limited-run halo cars and custom creations for both the Jaguar and Land Rover brands. Now the British automaker has confirmed the debut of the division's first project.
    We don't know what it is, exactly, that Jaguar will be bringing to the Goodwood Festival of Speed later this week, but we bet it'll be exciting. If we were the betting kind, we'd put our money on some kind of hot-rod F-Type, but we'll just have to wait and see.
    Alongside whatever JLR Special Operations has got cooking, Coventry will also be bringing the new F-Type R Coupe and XFR-S Sportbrake to run up the hill alongside a whole slew of classic and racing Jaguars, including a pair of D-Types, a Group 44 E-Type, a Group A XJS and the reunion of XJR-9 and Andy Wallace that last saw each other on the top step of the podium at Le Mans in 1988.

    The Lister SUV-E is a faster Jaguar I-Pace

    Tue, Nov 5 2019

    The Jaguar I-Pace is getting a bump from Lister. Yes, Lister of all companies is going to be selling a limited amount of what it calls the Lister SUV-E. It’s more than just some splotches of paint and a higher price tag, too. Lister says it gave the Jag a software update, resulting in more horsepower and torque over a standard I-Pace. We donÂ’t know how much more, but Lister is promising a 0-60 mph time of four seconds. ThatÂ’s 0.5 second quicker than a normal I-Pace, so Lister obviously made a significant difference with its tune. However, Lister also managed to remove 220 pounds from the I-Pace through various lightweighting efforts, bringing the curb weight down to 4,482 pounds. So, itÂ’s still heavy, but weÂ’re sure this will feel just a hair better in every way. Carbon fiber parts are the main source of weight loss. Lister has used the lightweight material for the front bumper, hood, splitter, rear bumper, roof spoiler and rear diffuser. Carbon ceramic brakes and titanium wheels lower the unsprung weight of the car, too. Strangely, Lister says it has a “more aggressive exhaust sound.” WeÂ’re not sure what that is going to consist of, but it could be cooler than the spaceship electric noises the I-Pace makes as of now. A fully-adjustable suspension should also aid handling — Lister says itÂ’s even lower than the regular I-Pace. All of this goodness will cost you, as the Lister is going to be priced at GBP125,000. ThatÂ’s $161,025 converted to American dollars. Yowza.  Green Jaguar Crossover Hatchback Electric Luxury Performance

    Jaguar flagship J-Pace crossover due in 2021

    Mon, Mar 25 2019

    We've been talking about a Jaguar J-Pace crossover for four years. In 2016, the large luxury SUV version of the XJ sedan was expected to arrive this year and challenge the Audi Q8, BMW X7, and Mercedes GLS. More recent information from Autocar put the J-Pace's length at roughly 4.9 meters (193 inches), putting the English offering in a bracket with the Mercedes-Benz GLE and the Porsche Cayenne. Dynamics will be the priority, with the J-Pace intended to "beat the Porsche Cayenne at its own game." The Jaguar will supposedly do this with a novel hybrid powertrain arrangement on the launch vehicle. The new Ingenium turbocharged inline-six, expected to be the "mainstream" engine, will turn the front wheels, the rear axle turned by an electric motor. That setup will provide more interior room thanks to the lack of a center tunnel, as well as finer control of torque to the rear wheels for better bad-weather and soft-roading character. Autocar said electric and four-cylinder versions were possible although not confirmed. The magazine said traditional gasoline and diesel versions without the electric motor out back would likely come only in two-wheel drive. However, not only is the phrase "front-wheel drive Jaguar" a terrifically un-sexy string of words, but the Modular Longitudinal Architecture (MLA) platform has supposedly been developed for rear-wheel- and all-wheel-drive cars. The Premium Transverse Architecture (PTA), an evolution of the aged D8 platform, supports the Range Rover Evoque, but all JLR products are planned to migrate to the MLA by 2025. The MLA will come in high-rise, mid-height, and low-rise versions. Products like the coming Range Rover and Defender will utilize the high-rise version. The J-Pace will use the mid-height MLA, along with the rumored Road Rover. The Jaguar F-Pace and Range Rover Velar take the low-rise PLA. These tiers would put a J-Pace roofline beneath the six-foot-two-inch-tall Range Rover and make for a sleeker appearance. Autocar also says that the J-Pace will have more luggage capacity than the Range Rover, quite the trick since the Jaguar won't be as tall and will be around six inches shorter. If it arrives in 2021, the shape could define the next stage in Jaguar design; the next-generation F-Pace has been predicted for 2022, so it could fall into line established by the big brother.
