Common questions
How much does a Jaguar XK150 S Roadster cost?
A 1958 Jaguar XK150 S Roadster cost $4,895 new. Over the past 12 months, 3 have sold publicly at a median of $35,000. The Shifty Estimate for a well-kept example is $56,700. Cars have changed hands anywhere from $31,500 to $94,500, depending on mileage, color, and history.
What is a 1958 Jaguar XK150 S Roadster worth today?
The Shifty Estimate is $56,700. That sits above the $35,000 median of actual sales because the median counts every car that sold, including high-mileage examples, while the estimate describes a clean, low-mileage one bought today. We rate confidence medium: 3 public sales in a year is a thin market, and the spread between them is wide.
Is a Jaguar XK150 S Roadster a good investment?
It has appreciated 1058% against its $4,895 list price. Only 888 were built. The caution is spread, not direction: across the sales we have on file, prices ran from $28,000 to $95,500, and mileage explains most of that.

The XK150 S represents the pinnacle of Jaguar's original XK lineage, packing the potent 3.8-liter twin-cam six that would later power the E-Type. With 265 horsepower on tap, it could crack 135 mph and hit 60 in just 7.3 seconds—serious performance for 1958. The 'S' designation brought triple SU carburetors, a higher compression ratio, and subtle exterior badges that insiders recognize immediately. Only 888 S roadsters were built, making this the rarest of the standard XK150 variants. The combination of the larger engine, improved chassis dynamics, and drop-top appeal creates a compelling package for collectors. Values reflect this desirability, with clean examples commanding premiums over standard XK150s. It's the XK that bridges the gap between classic British sports car and modern GT.
