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 ousts Lexus from atop J.D. Power 2013 Sales Satisfaction Index

    Mon, 18 Nov 2013

    Jaguar has taken the top spot among luxury brands in the 2013 Sales Satisfaction Index, an annual survey conducted by J.D. Power that measures customer satisfaction with the experience of purchasing a new vehicle. The English brand, not even among the top three luxury automakers on the list last year, vaulted ahead of Lexus, which placed third this year after leading the list in 2011 and 2012. Porsche, meanwhile, moved into second place.
    The rankings are based on a point score out of 1,000, with Jaguar earning 740 points, Porsche right behind with 739 and Lexus with 737. Volvo, meanwhile, made the biggest improvement among luxury brands with a 30-point jump to 708, bring it up from 11th place to 9th this year.
    J.D. Power has a separate ranking for mass-market brands, and this year Mini again tops the list with a score of 718, far outpacing second-place Buick with a score of 694 and making it the fourth time Mini has lead this list. After Buick, the next two ranked brands are both American and both from General Motors, with Chevrolet and GMC sharing third place with a score of 686.

    40+ cars that barely avoid the gas guzzler tax

    Thu, 24 Jul 2014



    The Gas Guzzler schedule, with mpg ratings and charges that haven't changed since 1991, lays out which fuel-swillers owe what to Uncle Sam.
    I started thinking about the "Gas Guzzler Tax" - considerably less well known as The Energy Tax Act of 1978 - when I was driving Dodge's new Challenger SRT Hellcat last week. Unsurprisingly for a car that can burn 1.5 gallons of gas per minute at max tilt, theoretically able to empty a full tank of premium in about 13 minutes, the Hellcat will be subject to the Gas Guzzler Tax schedule when it goes on sale.

    Jaguar F-Type Coupe is here, will debut on stage in LA

    Tue, 05 Nov 2013

    When Jaguar previewed its new sportscar two years ago with the C-X16 concept, it showed a coupe form. But when the car hit production as the F-Type, it rolled out in roadster form only. Not that we're complaining, but we all knew it wouldn't be long before Coventry revealed the production coupe, and that's just what it's doing at this month's LA Auto Show.
    Jaguar hasn't given us much to go on yet - just a single shot of the vehicle from above and nothing in the way of technical details - but we all know the drill. The F-Type Coupe will essentially be the same as the existing roadster, only with a fixed roof - with a large glass panel, mind you, to let plenty of light in and keep the cabin from feeling markedly more claustrophobic than the open-top version.
    That ought to make it a little lighter (though not much) and a little stiffer, but otherwise we can expect more or less the same specs as the convertible. We'll have to wait until the evening of November 19 to know for sure, though, so watch this space for more.
