1960 Jaguar XK150 3.4 Fixed Head Coupe

Chassis no. S836887BW

This Jaguar Fixed Head Coupe, chassis S836887BW, was originally fitted with the 3.8-liter engine and finished in Imperial Maroon with a black leather interior. After purchasing the car in 1985, at which time it was equipped with a 3.4-liter engine, the current owner, a concours judge of the Jaguar Club of North America, undertook a two year frame-off restoration in 1990. All of the mechanical components were rebuilt, including the brakes, steering, suspension, radiator, and carburetors. Since completing the restoration, S836887BW has led a pampered life and has accumulated less than 200 miles; it is currently showing a total of 78,000 miles. More recently, the car has been cosmetically freshened with some interior work and a refinish in the original Imperial Maroon.

The XK150 is truly a car comfortable with any driving style, and it embodies Jaguar's sales motto of the day, "Grace, Space, Pace." S836887BW is a fantastic example of a late-model XK150 Fixed Head Coupe, representing the end of the line for production of both the XK150 and the venerable XK series of sporting Jaguars. With a full mechanical restoration under its belt, as well as a recent cosmetic refurbishing, S836887BW is ready for action and is an equipped driver and show car.

Titled as 1961.

Lot F182

Description:

This marvelous late-production example is a multiple First Place Award winner in Jaguar Club North America Concours competition, with scores ranging from 99.93 to 99.96 out of 100 points. It has been cared for by the same owner since 1980. During that time he has performed two restorations on the car - most recently in 2013 - and restored numerous other Jaguars to National Concours-winning condition. Practically everything is new on the car, including its gorgeous Imperial Maroon paint, chromed wire wheels and wide Whitewall tires, front grille and tail light plinths. The bumpers, overriders and headlight rings have been rechromed, and the door handles replated and fitted with new rubber gaskets. The interior features new Black leather upholstery on the seats and door panels, new working lighting and modern radio, and a new tachometer and clock.

The car's mechanicals were given the same thorough treatment. The suspension was thoroughly cleaned and repainted and installed with new bushings front and rear. The brake system incorporates rebuilt calipers and a new booster and master cylinder. The 3.4L engine and 4-speed transmission were overhauled, the engine with a rebuilt head and carburetor and the transmission with a rebuilt clutch and slave cylinder. Both the heater and radiator were recored, and finally the engine brightwork was polished to a gleaming finish.
