Export Hong Kong. I believe all the registrations are Hong Kong, but I can't select this from the list of countries.

Lot No 90
Jaguar XK150 SE 3.4 Litre Roadster
Year 1960
Vehicle Registration FSV 998
Chassis Number S820090
Engine Number V7583-8
Body Colour O.E.W.
Trim Colour Beige
Estimate £70000 - 90000

- The 90th of just 93 right-hand drive Roadsters made
- A 'Special Equipment' model that was exported new to Hong Kong
- Treated to a meticulous 'chassis up' restoration upon entering the current ownership in 1985
- Participated in the 1st and 2nd Martell Classic Car Rallies to China and has raced at Macau
- Matching chassis, engine and body numbers etc

According to its accompanying Jaguar Heritage Trust eCertificate, this particular example - chassis S820090 - was manufactured on July 13th 1960. Among the very last right-hand drive Roadsters to emerge from Browns Lane (production ceased at chassis 820093), it was dispatched to Jaguar distributor Gilman & Co of Hong Kong the following month. A 'Special Equipment' model complete with four-speed manual transmission, the XK150 showed very little sign of corrosion by the time it entered the current ownership in 1985; a result no doubt of the former British colony's temperate climate. Living and working in Hong Kong at the time, the vendor purchased the two-seater from marque enthusiast John Northwode Turner as a partially stripped restoration project. Drawing on local contacts, he had AEL Ltd which serviced all the rolling stock at, and on, Kai Tak airport refurbish the chassis, overhaul the original engine, re-trim the interior and renew the hood / tonneau cover. Renowned specialists Suffolk & Turley supplied the relevant trim kits, while XK Engineering of Coventry assisted with sundry new engine internals. Local engineering firm Paul Gross Ltd of Sai Kung tracked down a number of new components such as disc brakes etc. Part of the Toyota Group, Crown Motors helped rejuvenate the original body. Repainted in Old English White with Beige leather upholstery, Dark Blue mohair hood and Black tonneau cover, the two-seater also had its instruments overhauled by Vintage Restorations and a stainless steel exhaust fitted. Suitably mechanically and cosmetically refreshed, chassis S820090 participated in the first and second ever Classic Car Rallies to the People's Republic of China during 1986 and 1987 which were organised and sponsored by the Classic Car Club of Hong Kong and Martell respectively. Taking to the famous Macau Grand Prix circuit as part of these events, the XK150 was invited to contest the Supercar Race on one occasion and thus found itself dicing with modern Porsches and Ferraris (finishing 11th out of 31 entrants). A testament to Jaguar reliability, the Roadster then contested the Classic Car Race at the same meeting immediately afterwards much to the displeasure of the Circuit President!

Repatriated and UK road registered for the first time some twenty-nine years ago, the XK150 now presents as an older restoration. Starting readily upon inspection and proving decidedly un-temperamental whilst we photographed it, the two-seater is understood to pleasingly retain its original chassis, body, engine and gearbox. A decidedly rare car and one deserving of another long-term custodian, 'FSV 998' is offered for sale with numerous restoration photographs and invoices, two under bonnet rally plaques and a fresh MOT certificate.

Sellers description:
Jaguar XK150 3.4 Special Equipment Original RHD Roadster £154,000
Very scarce 3.4 SE Roadster model in RHD and one of just eight produced in 1960.
The total number of Jaguar XK150 Roadsters produced in RHD is only 93 and of this number only 24 were the 3.4 SE model from 1958 - 1960.
Manufactured on 13th July 1960 and was despatched to Jaguar distributor
Gilman & Co of Hong Kong. This open two-seat, right-hand drive car was
originally finished in Pearl Grey with a red interior and black hood,
however today the car is now Old English White with a Tan Interior and
Blue Hood.
This is the 6th of the 8 RHD produced in 1960 and has Chassis number
S820090, engine number V 7583-8, gearbox number JLS 46051 JS and body
number F 17220, all of which are still the original matching numbers
with the car today.
The Roadster returned to the UK in 1987 and was in a museum for a number
of years. The previous owner owned the car for thirty one years.
This model is simply one of the ultimate Jaguars and one for the
connoisseur.
Not concours, but taxed, has Mot and ready to use - not a trailer queen.
Unique investment and half the price of some dealers.

Mileage: 16,000
Year: 1960
Colour: White
