Sellers description:
An absolutely stunning Jaguar in its Gleaming, Carmen Red paint, NEW 72 spoke chrome MWS wire wheels from England, re-chromed bumpers & MICHELIN X tires w/ LOW Actual mileage. Current owner of 20 years had it professionally resprayed about 8 years ago & looks like it was done yesterday. Original automatic were upgraded over 20 years ago for a 4 speed. It’s RHD & you get the hang of it in a few hours; after all it’s a true British sports car! Think how close you can get to those annoying joggers & bicyclists & your own mailbox!

S prefix in Chassis # S824544BW indicates a Special Equipment Model, Most 150’s were other than base models being either SE or S variations. SE included standard wire wheels, two fog lights, (not present & easily procured) overdrive (if originally a manual) and twin exhaust system & engine mods on 3.4L.

Just out of a complete service & an extensive going over by a Bucks County, PA British mechanic renowned in the area & the “Go to” Chap for anything British from MG’s to Rolls Royces.

Ø Re-Spray over solid, original panels w/ good fit. Everything off & painted inside boot, bonnet, door jambs etc.

Condition:
Exterior, presentation-wise a #2 car, judging the show quality paint, chrome/trim & wheels. Left headlamp reflector is flaking.

Engine is clean & will show beautifully w/ polishing.

Undercarriage is clean, but not detailed & very solid. There are no leaks or drips, just the usual seepage & accumulation 62 years of oil changes & lubrication & maintenance leaves behind.

Interior is original w/ a bit more wear on driver’s seat, only the way time & good care produces that wonderful look. Both door panels show staining at bottom, otherwise good. Carpeting is good, w/ minimal wear. Dash & instrumentation are very good, all gauges working. Rear seats are good w/ heavy scratches on left back. Glass is good & all weather-stripping is newer.

Mechanically, this Jag is tuned & needs nothing. It starts, runs & stops beautifully, all w/ a fantastic exhaust note.
