Classic cars are our passion. Driving our classic cars is an even bigger passion. But the internet is our addiction ... Just as we can drive for hours, we can surf the internet for hours on end. Always trying to find that special car for sale in some obscure little corner.

Blank canvas: 1959 Jaguar XK150 FHC

For sale in the south of Holland is this nice little project. This fixed head coupé has been partly restored. All welding is done, including a new rear end and sills. It has been put in a primer and needs painting. The car comes with a Production Record Trace Certificate and chassis, body, engine, gearbox are all matching numbers.

 

 

The Jaguar XK150 was the successor of the XK140 and although there were quite a few visual differences between the cars, it still featured the straight six engine from the XK140. The standard engine delivered a “meagre” 180bhp and the car proved a bit slow (for some). This one has the SE engine which had a modified head with larger valves and delivered 210bhp. 

If you’re not into matching numbers cars, you could get a bored out 3.8-litre engine that delivers 265bhp and fit that instead. It’s all about having some fun in life!

 

 

These cars are for sale on various European websites for around GBP35000. This one is for sale for EUR13500, which is roughly GBP10k. The great thing is that you can restore this car to whatever spec you fancy. Keep us posted on the progress please.
