Description from above auction:
Lot 359 - 1958 Jaguar XK150 Drophead Coupe - ONE OWNER FROM NEW
Estimate: £50,000 - £55,000
Registration Number: EU taxes paid
Chassis Number: S837307BW

In 1957 Daniel Gerboth purchased this 1958 Jaguar XK150 Convertible for his wife, It was her dream to own a Jaguar. She used the car on special occasions and Sunday drives, In 1978 she became ill and the car was stored inside the garage of their home in Brentwood California until it was discovered under the cover when the family home was sold in January. This original one owner California Jaguar has travelled only 20,000 miles since it was given to Mrs. Gerboth. Being a woman she opted to have an automatic transmission, I'm told that there are less than 100 automatics in the XK150's made.

This is a complete matching number XK150 with the Jaguar Heritage certificate. The car is original and un restored with the acceptation of getting a repaint in the early 70's and the top replaced from black to red. The car has its factory wire wheels. The interior is original, the red leather has never been dyed and is soft, dash has some warping to the leather, door panels are good, carpet also good, gauge cluster good.

This is a wonderful original unmolested car showing one owner from new and comes with the original US Title. A fabulous time warp classic car which is rare to find in this condition and having only one owner from new!

Surly this VIN should be 835307 . Engine number then slots in nicely with March 58.
