This gorgeous 1958 Jaguar XK150 Roadster Special now with a redesigned XK120 body arrived in the Netherlands in 2005 as a dismantled restoration with a restored chassis, braking system and wheel suspension. The current owner purchased a newly built, special aluminum XK 120 body in Switzerland based on the Jaguar racing bodies of the 1950’s.
An extensive restoration and conversion was then completed, with no expense spared to bring the Jaguar back to excellent, original racing specification.
This meticulously rebuilt car is now a virtually unique example, combining historical accuracy with modern reliability upgrades. Enjoyed on rallies throughout Europe by the owner and his wife this stunning Jaguar Special is ready for her next custodian.
Highly documented with a full detailed list of modifications and drawings the asking price is 250,000.00 Euro. Owner will also accept Bitcoin. Located in the Netherlands.
