1958 Jaguar XK150
£130,000 - 150,000
CA$ 220,000 - 260,000

The Bond Street Sale
London, New Bond Street
Registration no. JSN 149
Chassis no. S827230DN

*One of 662 XK150 drophead coupés
*One owner from 1962 to 2014
*In storage for 45 years
*Professionally restored 2014-2016

One of only 662 drophead coupés made, this overdrive-equipped example of one of the most sought-after of XK150 variants was supplied new via Ritchies of Glasgow and purchased by one John E Milner on 19th November 1958. The accompanying Jaguar Heritage Certificate confirms matching chassis, engine, and registration numbers, and records the original colour scheme as Pearl Grey with Light Blue interior trim and French Blue hood. 'JSN 149' was driven by Mr Milner until the end of 1969 (the tax disc expiring on 31st December '69 is on file) and was then left in his garage until its discovery in 2014. As an unmolested and original one-owner car - off the road for 45 years - 'JSN 149' was surely every Jaguar restorer's dream.

The XK was then purchased by the current vendor, whose high-end restoration business, carried out a full 'last nut and bolt' rebuild to original specification over the following two years, which was only completed in October 2016. Splendid in every department, and worthy of the closest inspection, the result is one of the finest XK150 restorations Bonhams has ever seen.

Accompanying documentation consists of the aforementioned Jaguar Heritage Certificate, an old-style continuation logbook (issued 1964), current MoT certificate, and a UK V5C Registration Certificate. The car also comes with a full tool kit plus its original jack, grease gun, and tyre inflator, while the prudent provision of an electric cooling fan is the only notified deviation from factory specification. A truly outstanding example.
