One of the later, more desirable 3.8-litre engined cars, chassis S836583BW was supplied new to America complete with the ‘Special Equipment’ package and automatic transmission. Repatriated to the UK during 1992, the Jaguar was the subject of a ‘body off, chassis up’ restoration with further works continuing up until 2010. As well as being repainted, retrimmed and treated to an engine overhaul, the 2+2-seater was uprated with a five-speed manual gearbox for a more immersive driving experience and better high-speed cruising plus an alloy radiator for improved cooling. Acquired by the current registered keeper in 2011, the XK150 has been used for runs to the Goodwood Revival etc. Summed-up by the seller as ‘a very good-looking car ready for further adventures’, ‘MVS 379’ is offered for sale with V5C Registration Document and history file.
