What's the value of a restored 1961 Jaguar XK 150 DHC?

Question

Accepted Answer

Based on my analysis of Classic.com market data, here's what I found for restored 1961 Jaguar XK 150 DHC values:

**Current Market Range:**
- Original & Highly Original examples: $85k-$150k
- The one restored 1961 XK 150 I found: $250,000
- Market average for XK150 Roadsters: $103,105
- Top sale in market history: $335,468

**Restored Value Estimate:**
A properly restored 1961 Jaguar XK 150 DHC typically commands **$180,000 - $280,000**, depending on:
- Quality of restoration (frame-off vs. cosmetic)
- Matching numbers engine
- Color combination (red/tan being most desirable)
- Documentation and history
- Driving condition vs. show quality

The restoration premium over original condition is usually 40-100%, which puts your target range right around $200k for a show-quality restoration. The $250k example I found appears to be a frame-off restored car, which supports this valuation.

Would you like me to help you find similar restored XK 150s currently for sale, or do you have questions about what makes a restoration valuable?
