JAGUAR XK 150 CABRIOLET

HERITAGE OF EXCELLENCE

The Jaguar XK 150 represents the pinnacle of Jaguar’s pre-E-Type engineering; a refined, powerful, and beautifully balanced grand tourer. Produced between 1957 and 1961, it stands today as one of the most desirable British classics of its era. This 1958 cabriolet is an exceptionally rare example, one of only 2,672 units ever built.

Restored to museum standards, it embodies the Arthill Garage philosophy: authenticity, precision, and uncompromising craftsmanship.

HISTORICAL SIGNIFICANCE

It bridged the gap between the earlier XK models and the revolutionary E-Type that followed in 1961. Offered in Coupe, Cabriolet, and Roadster configurations, the cabriolet variant remains the most coveted among collectors due to its balanced proportions and limited production numbers.
