Numbers Matching 1959 Jaguar XK150 FHC for Sale
Very nice 1959 Jaguar XK150 Fixed Head Coupe for sale. Built February 3rd, 1958, and originally finished in Cream with a black interior, 1 Of 4,445 FHC Built From 1957-1960. Equipped with its original numbers matching 3.4-litre engine and numbers matching 4-speed manual transmission with overdrive. Recently refinished in Black with a black and red interior. Includes cover, Jaguar restoration books, and heritage certificate.
Its second owner loved this car from the 1960's and in 2015 decided to give it a refresh. Unfortunately, he passed away during the final stages. Luckily, it fell into good hands.
The original numbers matching 3.4L DOHC Straight 6 3,443cc 190hp motor starts, idles, and runs beautifully. We do not know if the long-term owner rebuilt it but it runs as if that were the case. The original 4-spd Manual Transmission + Overdrive transmission shifts up and down through the gears effortlessly and the overdrive functions as intended.
The dealer who purchased it from the estate continued the restoration with the installation of a few remaining parts along with a new stainless steel exhaust system, new front & rear bumpers, an aluminum radiator, a new fuel tank and sending unit, and had the carburetors professionally rebuilt. Once sold to our client, the current owner and British car enthusiast, added a new steering rack, wiring harness, and front Wilwood disc brakes amongst other things.
The newer black exterior finish shows great overall with excellent shine and all-new fender welting was also installed as well as new front & rear window seals, new chrome true knock-off wheels, and fresh, proper white wall tires.
The interior appears to be all original except for the newer red carpet and a few minor items. The original leather seating is quite well-preserved along with its wool headliner, door cards, panels, and dash giving it that wonderful distinguished wood/leather/wool aroma only found in original, vintage British cars.
The gauges and ancillary items are in working order though the speedometer tends to jump around a bit. The current owner replaced the speedometer yet it didn't correct the issue. We suspect a cable or a gear may be needed. Otherwise, it is a wonderful car to be in.
