Jaguar’s XK 150 was developed from its predecessors to meet growing U.S. demand for more comfortable and refined sports cars. This was achieved by utilizing a wider body and floorplan and inserting a four-inch-wide central section. Another welcome addition was Dunlop disc brakes at all four wheels, making Jaguar the first manufacturer to offer four-wheel disc brakes on a series-production car.

Chassis no. S 837992 DN left the Browns Lane production line on 2 January 1959 and was delivered new to its first owner, Mr L. Mooney of San Francisco. The car returned to Europe in 1988 when it was imported and registered in France. By the early 2000s, this XK 150 had moved to Germany and was subject to a full body-off restoration in 2004; a quantity of documentation records regular maintenance and use from 1988 through to 2014 along with photos of the restoration. The car was refinished in a period-correct colour combination of dark green over tan, and the restoration has held up very well with signs of only light use. Most importantly, the car retains its original engine and body.

This beautifully presented XK 150 is one of the very best examples of Jaguar’s final and most developed XKs, incapsulating the best of Jaguar: sporting, comfortable and refined.
