Further Info:
1 of just 3,095 LHD XK150 Fixed Head Coupes to leave Browns Lane, chassis S835947DN was completed on 23rd December 1958. A desirable `Special Equipment' model, its 3442cc DOHC straight-six engine was topped with an uprated B-type cylinder head and allied to four-speed manual plus overdrive transmission. Finished in Cream with Red upholstery and supplied new via Jaguar Cars New York, the XK150 is understood to have (a) spent quite some time in California and (b) belonged to the prestigious Blackhawk Collection before being repatriated by CAR Howard during Spring 1989. Acquired by its sole UK registered keeper shortly thereafter, `GSK 933' has reportedly spent the last twenty-six years avoiding wet or salt covered roads. Treated to new `J' spot headlights and replacement bumpers upon its return from the USA, more recent work is said to have seen the Fixed Head Coupe benefit from attention to its water pump, thermostat, cooling system, temperature/oil gauge, braking system, fuel pump and twin SU carburettors plus the fitment of a new stainless steel exhaust. Pleasingly able to boast `matching' chassis, engine and body numbers, `GSK 933' is described by the vendor as being in `good' condition with regard to its engine, gearbox, bodywork, electrical equipment and interior trim (while, he rates the paintwork as `fair'). Due to be freshly MOT tested ahead of sale, this much-loved XK150 is temptingly priced and offered for sale with history file including Jaguar Cars Ltd Heritage Certificate, copy service manual and 1991 valuation for £55,000.
