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.

Évolution des modèles précédents, la Jaguar XK 150 était destinée à répondre à la demande américaine grandissante pour des voitures de sport plus luxueuses et confortables. Grâce à l'ajout d'une section centrale de 10 cm, ce modèle a donc bénéficié d'une carrosserie et d'un plancher plus larges. De plus, il a été équipé de freins à disque Dunlop sur les quatre roues, ce qui a fait de Jaguar le premier constructeur automobile à proposer quatre freins à disque sur une voiture de série.

Cette voiture (châssis n° S 837992 DN) a quitté les chaînes de Browns Lane le 2 janvier 1956 et a été livrée neuve à son premier propriétaire, M. Mooney, de San Francisco. Elle est revenue en Europe en 1988, importée et immatriculée en France. Au début des années 2000, cette XK 150 était en Allemagne où elle a fait l'objet en 2004 d'une restauration complète avec mise à nu de la carrosserie ; un grand nombre de documents attestent de son entretien et de son utilisation régulière, de 1988 à 2014, avec des photos de la restauration.

La voiture a reçu une combinaison de couleurs conforme à l'origine, vert foncé et cuir beige, et la restauration a très bien résisté au temps, ne montrant aujourd'hui que de discrètes traces d'utilisation. Et surtout, la voiture est encore équipée de son moteur et de sa carrosserie d'origine.

Cette XK 150 à la présentation magnifique est un des meilleurs exemplaires de la dernière Jaguar XK, la plus aboutie, celle qui incarne le meilleur de Jaguar : sportive, confortable et raffinée.
