This XK150 is finished in the delightful colour combination of Carmen Red with Biscuit leather interior. As with a lot of these examples, this car was originally a U.S. car and was repatriated to the UK in 1990. Clearly restoration work has been carried out and this appears to have been done to a high standard, the paint finish in particular is of a high quality. The car comes with a good history file including details of a full strip down to a bare shell, a full re-chrome, and re-assembly with the engine being fully rebuilt and the suspension being re-assembled using Polybushes, new ball joints and a brake upgrade with new discs and Coopercraft front calipers. The automatic gearbox has been changed for an all-synchro Jaguar four-speed unit with overdrive, this is mated to a 3.8 litre engine offering brisk performance by any standard. Extra gauges have been tastefully fitted beneath the centre dashboard by the fastidious vendor. Now in right hand drive guise this Jaguar is supplied with a V5C registration document. The XK150 Fixed Head Coupe is celebrated by collectors and enthusiasts alike, cherished not only for its stunning design and engineering excellence but also as a symbol of an era when British craftsmanship flourished. It remains a true classic that captivates the hearts of car lovers around the world. Consigned by Stewart Banks.
