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-based Eagle E-Type Low Drag GT makes its bid for most beautiful car ever with EVO

    Fri, 28 Feb 2014

    The Jaguar E-Type is one of the icons of automotive design, and British company Eagle has made a business out of restoring, upgrading and building their bespoke versions for the last 30 years. It does for the E-Type what Singer does for the Porsche 911 - takes an already great classic car and updates its mechanicals for the modern age.
    The firm's latest creation, the Low Drag GT, might be its greatest ever, at least according to editor Henry Catchpole in Evo magazine's latest video. The car takes its inspiration from a trio of low-drag E-Type coupes built in the 1960s, but thoroughly modernizes the concept. The engine is based on Jag's inline-six, but made from aluminum and bored out to 4.7 liters to produce 346 horsepower and 360 pound-feet of torque. Catchpole says it's enough to propel it to 60 miles per hour in about 4.5 seconds. The body, transmission and differential are all also made from aluminum to cut the weight to 2,288 pounds, and modern upgrades include Ohlins dampers, AP Racing brakes and even extras like concealed GPS navigation and an Alcantara headliner. There's more head- and legroom than the originals, too.
    Each car is built bespoke for each buyer, so prices vary, but Catchpole says the one he is in would run about half the cost of a LaFerrari - around $700,000.

    Jaguar XE promises to net 'over 75 mpg,' just not for us [w/video]

    Tue, 29 Jul 2014

    With around a month away from its world debut on September 8, Jaguar continues to issue a constant drip of updates about its upcoming XE compact luxury sedan that's aiming to take on the BMW 3 Series and Audi A4. Where the company's last bit of info focused on the car's suspension setup, this time Jag's putting the spotlight on the new model's modular platform and making some big promises about it, too. How big? Try over 75 miles per gallon big.
    That's the headline figure that Jaguar is claiming for its new sedan, but it's keeping mum on just what powertrain will realize that figure. Furthermore, that result is on the European test cycle, which is more lenient than America's EPA testing regime. In any case, when the XE hits the road, Jag says it will be the most efficient vehicle from the company, ever.
    That's thanks in no small part to the aluminum-intensive monocoque chassis underpinning the sedan. It's constructed from a new grade of the lightweight metal called RC 5754 that uses a high portion of recycled material. "The Jaguar XE body uses over 75-percent aluminum content, which far exceeds any other car in its class. This gives us a body structure with unrivaled low weight: it's light but also immensely strong with extremely high levels of torsional stiffness," said Dr. Mark White, Jaguar Chief Technical Specialist; Body Complete.

    Watch this bad parker get what's coming to him

    Fri, 02 Aug 2013

    If you're lucky enough to have a nice vehicle, do your fellow gearheads a favor and don't park like a clown. Seriously. Not only will you anger everyone who is trying to find a place to park, but your nice car is a billboard reinforcing the stereotype that car people are self-important and inconsiderate.
    Take this gentleman for example. He has a Jaguar XK, and understandably wants to take care of it. Rather than parking it far, far away from any other cars and getting a bit of exercise by walking to his building, he takes up two spots (albeit barely) close to the structure. From the cameraman's narration, we can tell his coworkers are less than thrilled about his inability to stay between the lines.
    Naturally, they wanted to teach him a lesson, so they parked a bigger vehicle as close to his driver's door as possible. Mr. XK's attempts to enter his vehicle are rather amusing, culminating in his climbing through the passenger side and scooching over to the driver's seat. While we can debate this sort of treatment all day long, it was effective. The video includes a follow up at the end showing where the XK driver parked the next day, and as you might guess, it wasn't in the same spot.
