Excellently converted from FHC to DHC at some time in the 1980s using all new Jaguar panels and parts.
Substantial renovation and improvements carried out by Twyford Moors Motors in 1999 including rebuilding the engine to “fast road specification” with 2 x 2" SUs on a gas flowed inlet manifold, and a straight port cylinder head. The suspension was uprated, and Coopercraft brakes and modern seat belts fitted. The car was retrimmed in suede green with a black mohair hood and tonneau cover, and had a full respray and colour change from White (maybe Pearl Grey) to British Racing Green.

Seller's description:
1959 XK150 3.4 litre Jaguar (1959) For sale from Robin Lawton, in Hants, United Kingdom
£69,950
The 1959 XK150 we offer here has formed part of a local collection in recent years. It was the subject of substantial restoration work by specialists some years ago, having been professionally converted from a fixed head coupe, using all Jaguar panels and parts back in the 1980’s. No expense would seem to have been spared in maintaining the car to a high standard during recent years, as can be seen by the large number of bills - all from acknowledged specialists - which are included in the file.
Finished in British racing Green, this XK150 has the favoured manual gearbox with overdrive and has benefitted from ‘fast road’ modifications to the engine, which was rebuilt by Sigma. Additional desirable upgrades include Coopercraft brakes, alternator, Kenlowe fan and the optional walnut dashboard. The XJS reclining seats are also particularly comfortable.
In summary, a very good, well maintained example of this iconic Jaguar that is a true pleasure to drive. Also supplied is a Heritage Certificate, original Driver’s Handbook and Workshop Manual.
