The S prefix on this left-hand drive 1958 Jaguar XK150 S roadster, which has been part of the Rick Grant Collection since 2013, denotes the SE triple-carb spec, with this car’s triple SU carburettors featuring polished alloy dashpots. Chassis No. S830875DN’s DN suffix denotes the electric overdrive that effectively added a fifth gear to the 4-speed manual transmission to make for more relaxed high-speed cruising. Another SE identifier is the gold-painted cylinder head seen on this car. Though externally the only visible indications are the discrete chrome S letters on each door top, they certainly speak volumes.
With a much revised and roomier cabin than the preceding XK140, the new XK150 was also technically superior, with better steering and 4-wheel servo-assisted disc brakes to rein it in. Here, that interior features tan leather upholstery and carpets, as well as Smiths instrumentation behind a Nardi wood-rimmed steering wheel, with Dunlop 4-wheel disc brakes supplying the stopping power.
With its wind-up windows, wraparound curved windshield and well-appointed cabin with padded dash, the last-of-line XK150 S was also best of breed and a world apart from the spartan XK120 roadster that had started the ball rolling so spectacularly in 1948. With the XK150 S roadster, Jaguar ensured the XK line went out on a high note, and this 1958 Jaguar XK150 S Roadster from the Rick Grant Collection shows there isn’t a much better way for Jaguar enthusiasts to complete their own XK odysseys.
Sold at $143,000.
