Manufactured on the 13th of January 1959, this home market example was supplied new via Henlys Ltd of London to a J. W. Bradstreet of Goring-On-Sea and registered ‘WLM 725’ – a registration mark it pleasingly retains today. One of just 1,368 RHD examples built, it was specified from the factory with manual transmission with overdrive and benefits from the factory-fitted Special Equipment (SE) pack which comprised: front fog lamps, wire wheels, and twin exhausts. Residing in the car friendly climate of South Africa for some 20 years, the XK150 was provided with a comprehensive restoration there in c.2010. Finished in Black with a Red interior, the Jaguar is fitted with a MkIX 3.8 engine. The extensive restoration included a new interior and the fitment of air-conditioning.

Treated to a new clutch, front calliper overhaul, master cylinder reconditioning, and new fuel lines in 2019/2020, this handsome XK150 is offered with a Jaguar Daimler Trust Heritage Certificate, South Africa motor vehicle licenses, a collection of invoices, a selection of previous MOTs dating back to the 1980s and a current V5C document. Running excellently during our photography session, the vendor informs us that the XK150 drives very well with working overdrive. The vendor does note that the windscreen wiper motor does need replacement.
