1959 | Jaguar XK 150 3.8 S DHC

1959 Jaguar 3.8 litre XK150S
Chassis Number: T827485DN
Registration Number: YJJ276
Engine Number: VAS1241-9
Coming to us as an estate sale after over three & a half decades of long term ownership. This is indeed a very rare car & collectable car. Of the XK150's produced only a minority had the 3.8-litre engine, and even fewer were in RHD. In fact, Jaguar only built 23 OTS (Roadsters), 69 DHC and 115 FHCs in 3.8-litre S, RHD form. This glorious car, then, is as rare as teeth on a particularly endangered breed of hen.
The car was restored many many years ago at which time the colour was changed to black from its original racing green. The paint is in generally good order but does exhibit some micro blistering. The suede green interior was also replaced with the current beige lether which is heavily patinated but serviceable for regular use. The car is in good order thoughout & ready for immediate extended use. Alternatively it would make a great basis for a restoration back to its original colours as it left browns lane in.
A few bills come with the car dating back to 1990 when the last deceased onwer purchased the car. It starts runs & drives well with exellent performance from the triple carb' 3.8 litre engine. A beige mohair hood in good condition is eaily raised or lowered although it was very rarely put up in the previous ownership.
The car is at our showrrom & ready for immediate viewings.
