Auction description:
Lot 153 - 1959 Jaguar XK150 Drophead Coupe
Estimate: £40,000 - £50,000
Registration Number: German Registered
Chassis Number: S 827407

Being one of only 662 XK 150 Drophead Coupes , this example is one of the rare manual overdrive versions in original RHD specification. Coming from a collection in Switzerland, the car has luckily kept its EU ( German ) registration documents and so its free in european circulation. Being over 50 years old, she can also be registered to historical plates with further cost advantages. The car presents itself in excellent condition all over.

Finished in red with a superb red leather interior and carpeting, this XK 150 is equipped with a magnificant polished wooden dashboard made professionally by specialists which looks stunning. The car sits on chrome wire wheels and is equipped with a black hood in mohair and double duck.

Its original straight bodywork is rust free and of high quality. Mechanically, we are told by the vendor in who`s collection it stayed for over 5 years, the car corresponds to its visual appearance.

Offered here at a reserve way below the current market, this is a definite snip for the Jaguar enthusiast and not to be missed.
