Description
The 1958 Jaguar XK150 Fixed Head Coupe stands out as the more refined evolution of Jaguar’s legendary XK line, blending graceful mid-century design with meaningful mechanical advancements. With its improved braking, wider bodywork, and luxurious closed cabin, it delivered a level of sophistication and performance that set a new benchmark for post-war British sports cars.
The recipient of a complete restoration, this 1958 Jaguar XK150 Fixed Head Coupe was completed in 2020. Draped with a sporting green over a lovely biscuit leather upholstery and tan carpeting, its color scheme is truly timeless. The refined cabin is complemented by an adjustable steering wheel, Jaguar logo seat belts, and a maple-trimmed dashboard. Exterior appointments include chrome bumpers with overriders, Lucas driving lights, fender-mounted mirrors, wing windows, dual exhausts, and knock-off chrome wire wheels wrapped in Firestone Deluxe Champion whitewall tires.
Under the bonnet lies a rebuilt 3.4-litre DOHC inline six-cylinder engine that was done by noted Jaguar specialist Arden Automobilbau GmbH of Krefeld, Germany. Equipment under the hood includes dual SU carburetors, an LCS-type electronic fuel pump, and an aftermarket aluminum radiator with an electric fan. Also rebuilt by Arden Automobilbau is the four-speed manual gearbox with the desirable and highly convenient electronic overdrive. Other mechanical items include rack-and-pinion steering, and four-wheel disc brakes. Photos of the engine and transmission pre-installment are included, as well as a Jaguar Heritage Trust Certificate and reproduction owner’s manual. The current owner notes this Jaguar is incredibly smooth and very torquey and that shifting through the gears is a breeze.
A sporting example of one of the most recognizable British automobiles built, this restored and finely tuned XK150 would be a wonderful example to be added to one’s garage or to be used on Sunday jaunts and weekend drives.
This 1958 Jaguar XK150 Fixed Head Coupe is located in Auburn, Indiana, which is centrally located and within a few hours by car from Indianapolis, Indiana; Detroit, Michigan; Chicago, Illinois; and Cleveland, Ohio.
