1958 Jaguar XK150 SE Drophead Coupe – Matching Numbers, 3 Owners From New

This 1958 Jaguar XK150 SE Drophead Coupe is a beautifully preserved, matching‑numbers example of Jaguar’s final evolution in the legendary XK series. Finished in red over black leather and showing only 34,309 miles, it retains its original 3.4‑liter double‑overhead‑camshaft six‑cylinder engine paired with the factory Borg‑Warner 3‑speed automatic transmission. With just three owners from new and long‑term Danish ownership, this SE‑specification Drophead Coupe presents as an elegant, mechanically strong, and highly collectible classic.

 

History & Background
Introduced in 1957 as the successor to the XK140, the XK150 represented a more refined and modern interpretation of Jaguar’s celebrated sports car line. Wider, more comfortable, and equipped with four‑wheel disc brakes as standard, it offered improved touring capability without sacrificing performance. The SE model delivered 210 bhp, dual exhaust, and factory wire wheels, making it the more desirable specification. This example has been carefully maintained throughout its life and remains registered in Denmark, having passed the Danish Technical Inspection and requiring no further inspection until 2027.

 

Exterior
The Drophead Coupe presents beautifully, with exterior paint in excellent condition for its age and panel gaps that meet factory specifications throughout. The red finish complements the XK150’s elegant proportions, while chrome details, trim, and wire wheels add to its classic presence. The car’s overall exterior condition reflects careful long‑term ownership and consistent maintenance.

 

Interior
Inside, the black leather interior is in very good condition, consistent with the car’s low mileage. The seats, door inserts, carpets, and instruments present cleanly, with no rips, scuffs, or notable wear. The cabin retains its original charm, offering the refined yet sporting atmosphere that defines the XK150 Drophead Coupe.

 

Mechanical Condition
The matching‑numbers 3.4‑liter DOHC straight‑six runs smoothly, with no smoke or unusual sounds at startup or while driving. The Borg‑Warner automatic transmission shifts cleanly, and the car starts, drives, and stops exactly as it should. Four‑wheel disc brakes provide confident stopping power, and a recent inspection and service confirm excellent mechanical health. This XK150 is ready for enjoyable touring and classic‑car events.

 

Additional Features
The sale includes a Jaguar Heritage Trust Certificate and service documentation totaling more than 11,500 Euros from Jaguar Denmark, covering engine work, radiator replacement, and interior refurbishment. These records underscore the car’s careful maintenance and long‑term preservation.

 

Summary
A matching‑numbers 1958 Jaguar XK150 SE Drophead Coupe with only three owners from new, finished in red over black leather and showing 34,309 miles. With its desirable SE specification, excellent mechanical condition, strong cosmetic presentation, and extensive documentation, this XK150 is a standout example of Jaguar’s final and most refined XK model. A beautiful, elegant, and enjoyable classic ready for many more years of driving pleasure.
