Auction description:
Model XK150 3.4 DHC
First Registered 1958
Registration No VSN918
Engine No V5995-8
Chassis No S827269DN
MOT Dec 2010
Colour Carmen Red
Offered here is an XK150 Drop Head Coupe of 1958 vintage (registered 1959), which has been the subject of extensive restoration and upgrading for modern driving.
The vendor rebuilt this car after it had suffered accident damage. Original wings were sourced from a donor car and a new, old stock, bonnet was supplied by a specialist. The body was then removed from the chassis and the chassis was powder coated prior to starting the rebuild. The car was then rebuilt from the bare chassis up and finished to the vendors own specification. This included power steering, a BMW (Getrag) 5-speed manual gearbox and Coopercraft brakes. The overdrive switch now powers an electric choke..
Finished in Carmen red with red leather interior and sitting on chrome wire wheels, the car is equipped with the 3.4 litre, XK engine and is said to be a joy to drive. It is offered in exceptional condition.
