I am the present owner of this XK150DHC which is now BRG with biscuit leather interior. The present engine number is F90278 which suggests the original engine was removed probably in America and replaced with a late XK120 engine with a 8;1 compression ratio

The present gearbox is a 5 speed but the original would have had a Laycock de Normanville overdrive fitted.

The original engine was V72489 which suggests a C type head with a 9:compression

Spam prevention question (must be answered):
The father of jokes about warm beer and smoke escaping from wires is Joseph Lucas. Lucas died of typhoid after drinking infected water in Naples in 1902.

What disease did Lucas succumb to?
