Auction description:

15th Mar, 2023 13:00 Imperial War Museum Duxford

Registration No: RP 1253

Chassis No: 824849DN

MOT: T.B.C

1 of just 1,367 home-market XK150 Fixed Head Coupes understood manufactured

Boasts matching chassis and engine numbers

Entered from a private collection where it has resided since 2004

Previously in the ownership of leading XK specialists Twyford Moors and extensively restored and upgraded while in their custodianship

Chassis no. 824849DN was manufactured in 1959 and was supplied to the home market, being registered new on the 22nd of July 1959. Fitted with the straight-six 3442cc engine, the Jaguar presents well in complementary Green paintwork with a Green leather interior and carpeting and rides on wire wheels. Boasting matching chassis and engine numbers, the XK150 entered into the previous ownership, that of leading XK specialists Twyford Moors, in 2003. Subject to extensive restoration and upgrading, ‘RP 1253’ was repainted and provided with seat belts internally, with the mechanicals uprated with a four-speed automatic transmission, improved braking throughout, a power steering conversion, an expansion header tank, and high impulse starter, making the XK150 a very usable example.

Acquired into the vendor's private collection in 2004, the Jaguar is now offered for sale due to a reduction of his collection. Offered with a history file that contains a large collection of previous MOTs and invoices, the Jaguar is accompanied by a current V5C document and is expected to possess a fresh MOT in time for sale. Running well during our photography session, ‘RP 1253’ is a sensibly upgraded example, with the work completed by a well-renowned marque specialist, with usability in mind.
