1959 JAGUAR XK150 ROADSTER

- Marque : Jaguar
- Model : XK150 Roadster
- Engine: 3,4 liter, 3442 cc, 191 bhp
- First registration : March 1959
- Current registration: Netherlands

This Jaguar 150 roadster was delivered new in the USA in March 1959 to her first owner in the color Pearl Grey with Red interior. The car is equipped with a 4 speed manual transmission with very rare overdrive !

Documents from the 90 s show that the owner was living in California. Taking the quality of the bodywork into account, it can be assumed that the car has been in California all its life. In that period, the car was resprayed in the beautiful color Signal Red and the interior was changed to Beige. The convertible top is black.

In 1999, the XK150 Roadster was shipped to the Netherlands and has a Dutch registration since. The current owner bought the car in 2002 and invested Euro 5.000,- on technical improvements after buying the XK150. Noble House was responsible for maintenance and in 2005 the owner decided for an extensive overhaul by Noble House. The total investment in that period was around Euro 85.000,- (excl. VAT) containing:
- Replacing the non XK150 engine for an original XK150 3.4 L engine. The engine is completely overhauled. The original cylinder head is still with the car by the way, 
- Improvements on the fuel system, exhaust, front- and rear suspension, etc. ,
- Brake system has been upgraded to a later model XK150 (calipers, cylinder, pads, etc),
- Repairs of electrical wiring where necessary, replacing wiring looms etc, 
- Repairs on the heating system,
- Replacing all rubbers on doors, lights, bootlid, etc,
- Cleaning of the underbody and apply an underbody coating,
- New carpet set.

Additional documentation provided with the car includes photos of attended concourses in the US (including reports), restoration photos and invoices. Since its reconditioning in 2005, this Jaguar has not covered many miles. The XK150 is always properly stored by the owner and has had its maintenance over the past years. 

The cars odometer shows barely 30,300 miles . She is equipped with a period correct AM radio. 

These Roadsters are iconic in their design and are one of the most beautiful of all Jaguars built.
