By the late ’50s Jaguar was at its height, having conquered Le Mans in 1951, 1953, 1955, 1956, and 1957. With European rivals like Porsche beginning to catch up, in 1959 the XK150S was launched as a roadster aimed squarely at the American market. At its heart was a race-bred engine featuring a straight-port cylinder head. This was matched to a competition clutch and lightened flywheel. The result was a car with a top speed of 218 km/h. Disc brakes were also fitted.

This fabulous example left the Browns Lane factory in March 1959 finished in Carmen Red with a matching red leather interior and fawn soft top, fitted with manual overdrive. It was destined for Frank Cavey’s dealership in Dublin and sold new the following month. Cavey had a close working relationship with Sir William Lyons assembling cars in Ireland—his factory’s XK120 achieved 3rd at the 1951 Monte Carlo rally. The first owner was J Goodman of Dundalk. Today the car retains its original engine and bodywork and has been restored to a gorgeous colour scheme of dark blue over beige leather. Presented in wonderful condition, it would surely be a thrill to drive and enjoy.

A la fin des années 50, Jaguar était au plus haut de sa gloire après ses victoires aux 24 Heures du Mans en 1951, 1953, 1955, 1956 et 1957. Avec la montée en puissance de concurrentes européennes comme Porsche, la XK150 S a été lancée en 1959 comme un roadster destiné spécifiquement au marché américain. Elle était équipée d'un moteur racé comportant une culasse à deux arbres à cames en tête et relié à un embrayage compétition et un volant moteur allégé. Il en résultait une voiture capable d'atteindre 218 km/h et, pour l'arrêter, des freins à disque faisaient partie de l'équipement.

Ce fabuleux exemplaire a quitté l'usine de Browns Lane en mars 1959, de teinte "Carmen Red" avec une sellerie assortie en cuir rouge et une capote fauve. Elle était équipée d'un overdrive. Livrée au garage Frank Cavey, représentant de la marque à Dublin, elle a été vendue neuve le mois suivant à son premier propriétaire, J. Goodman, de Dundalk. Cavey entretenait avec Sir William Lyons une relation étroite et assemblait des voitures en Irlande ; sa Jaguar XK120 d'usine avait terminé troisième au Rallye de Monte Carlo 1951.

Aujourd'hui, la voiture est encore équipée de son moteur d'origine et a été restaurée dans un magnifique thème de couleurs bleu foncé avec cuir beige. Dans un état superbe, cette voiture sera certainement extrêmement plaisante à utiliser.
