Auction description:

27th Nov, 2024 13:00

Pavilion Gardens | Buxton, Derbyshire

Lot 77

1957 Jaguar XK150 Convertible Uprated to 3.8 'S' Specification

Registration No: KSJ 164

Chassis No: S834794DN

MOT: Exempt

Supplied new to the USA in Fixed Head Coupé form and later reworked to right-hand drive Drophead Coupé configuration

Uprated to 3.8 litre, triple carburettor 'S' specification and fitted with a five-speed gearbox

Previously fitted 3.4 litre XK engine unit included in sale

Purchased by the current owner for £75,000 from Graeme Hunt Ltd

According to the Jaguar Heritage Certificate supplied with the history file, chassis number S834794DN was first supplied via Jaguar Cars, USA specified in left-hand drive Fixed Head Coupé form. Little is known of the early history of the Jaguar, however it is understood to have been imported to the UK in 1990 and would remain in project state until it was sold by The Carriage Company of Silsoe, Beds in 1996 to a Mr Woodward of Royston. The Carriage Company was also given the task of the restoration for which there are a plethora of invoices on file between 1997 and 1998 which total approximately £40,000. During this period, not only was a bare-chassis overhaul performed, but the interior was re-trimmed, the 3.4 Litre engine was rebuilt, suspension and brakes overhauled and other components were upgraded including the fitment of power steering, a five-speed gearbox and triple carburettors.

Fast forward to 2011 and via a further keeper, the car was purchased by the current owner, Mr G. Lucas MBE. During his ownership, the car was fitted with a 3.8 Litre engine with 'straight port' cylinder head, although the 3.4 litre unit accompanies the car to the sale. Unfortunately, Mr Lucas' health condition is such that his family have opted to sell the Jaguar with the last job that he did, being to strip the sump off to check the bearings which wasn't completed, and as such is presented in non-running condition.

Upon inspection, we noted that the XK has been very well cared for prior to Mr Lucas' health decline. Although in non-running state currently, it should be an easy task to return the car to tip-top mechanical condition. The bodywork has also survived well, thanks to dry storage, however it should be noted that there are some scratches and bubbling in small areas that may need addressing. 'KSJ 164' is a fabulous opportunity for any enthusiast to return to a running order and use as a true drivers' car in line with its healthy specification.

Sold for £36,562

Spam prevention question (must be answered):
The father of jokes about warm beer and smoke escaping from wires is Joseph Lucas. Lucas died of typhoid after drinking infected water in Naples in 1902.

What disease did Lucas succumb to?
