Lot details
Registration No: 828 KPA
Chassis No: 824850D/N
Mot Expiry: Oct 2004

The most outstanding sportscars of the postwar era were almost certainly the XKs from Sir William Lyons' Jaguar Cars of Coventry. After 12,000 Jaguar XK120s in open sports, drophead and coupe form had been produced by 1954, the XK140 replaced it, in turn being replaced by the 150 in 1957. Available as either a convertible or a fixed head coupe, 150s were made between the springs of 1957 and 1961, when the Browns Lane facilities were converted to make E Types in far greater volume. The most significant improvement on the 140 was rack and pinion steering which replaced the 120's recirculating ball type. Whilst the most powerful XK was the 150S which was powered by the 3781cc motor.
An original logbook with this 1959-manufactured righthand drive XK150 shows seven changes of registered keeper. The vendor tells us that 828 KPA was in receipt of a 1999 restoration, which is said to have cost in excess of £20,000. In addition, during 2003, further improvements were carried out and copies of the invoices detailing work done are in the documents file and interested clients are advised to inspect them.
Also with the car are MOT certificates covering 2000-2004, the latest current until September. The condition of the green painted coupe bodywork is described as good with the green interior excellent. Both 3442cc 6-cylinder engine and 4-speed manual gearbox are also reportedly in good order.
PLEASE NOTE: This vehicle now has an MOT until October 2004.
PLEASE NOTE: We have not had this vehicle running.
