Finished in the very desirable colour combination of black with red leather interior, this special XK150 is owned by a prominent private individual in the Jaguar world. Specialising in Jaguar he has used his knowledge to oversee important work to the car such as the fitment of a limited slip differential, new timing chain, valves, spark plugs, rear brake cylinder & servo, carburettor and ignition adjustment and has tuned the engine and transmission which we are now told run very well.

The car is said to be in very good condition all-round including its Burl wooden dashboard, spoke wheels, original XK150 steering wheel, extinguisher and stainless steel exhaust system.

Electrics have been completely redone and a new wiring loom fitted, including that for the period headlights, auxiliary fan with adjustable temperature range, 2 x 12 volt batteries in parallel and anti-theft immobilizer.
