1958 Jaguar XK150 Roadster Special – Period-Correct Alloy Racer with Modern Enhancements
Offered at €250,000 – Bitcoin Accepted

This extraordinary 1958 Jaguar XK150 Roadster Special is a one-of-a-kind creation that blends the spirit of 1950s motorsport with carefully integrated modern enhancements for reliability and performance.

Imported into the Netherlands in 2005 as a dismantled restoration project, the car arrived with a restored chassis, braking system, and suspension. The current owner sourced a bespoke aluminum XK120 body in Switzerland—expertly modeled after the legendary Jaguar racing bodies of the 1950s.

What followed was a no-expense-spared restoration and transformation to period-correct racing specification. Today, this exceptional Jaguar represents a unique opportunity to own a meticulously rebuilt and fully documented classic that offers both historical integrity and modern usability.

Lovingly enjoyed on vintage rallies across Europe by its current owner and his wife, this striking Roadster is now ready for its next discerning custodian.
