Buying a 1958 Jaguar XK150 Roadster

Although having a family resemblance to the Jaguar XK120 and XK140 models, the 1958 Jaguar XK150 Roadster, the first year of the XK150 production, was radically modernized. Some of the changes to this third-generation of the XK line included a one-piece windscreen, which replaced the previously split screen, and the wing line no longer dropped so dramatically as it moved over the doors. The front hood was also widened and on the Roadster, the bulkhead was moved back almost four inches to make the hood longer. This was quite a dramatic move for a car that was already known for the exaggerated length and lines of its hood. On the inside, the walnut dashboard found in previous XK140 models was replaced with one trimmed in leather and thinner doors gave more interior space. The standard engine, the 3.4L straight six was used in the XK150, however most of the Roadsters were fitted with the SE engine that had a modified cylinder head and larger exhaust valves, which gave increased horsepower.
