    From A.D. Clausager's book "Jaguar XK140/150 in Detail" this was one of 3 (possibly 4) cars marked in factory records as “Show Car”, the others were S837693BW and S837697BW, with S837700 as the 4th possibility, despite having the same colour combination, it’s not confirmed in factory records as a show car. This colour combination seems to have been the preferred one for show cars in the States around this time.

    Ebay item 10/21/19

    www.ebay.com/itm/1959-Jaguar-XK-XK150-DropHead-2-Door/153692205939

    Car has a buy it now price of $148,000 for 29 days, seller bestautos4less, 61k miles, car now said to be in Newport Beach, California, previously, Marietta, Georgia.

    Seller's description:

    This is a very special all original 1959 Jag with original engine MATCHING NUMBERS. Very Rare: Borg-Warner Automatic Gearbox. Only 234 xk150s built with this option. Very Rare: Intermediate Speed Hold Switch. Showcased inside Ralph Lauren Fall Collection POLO for men's catalogue and Showcased in multi million-dollar Real Estate Marketing campaigns ... and the list goes on and on. With its AUTOMATIC GEARBOX intermediate switch, only 234 of these specific models were built by JAGUAR that year, that's less than 1% of all XK120, XK140, XK150s combined. This specimen is very unique indeed, all numbers matching. Restoration poured surpasses $35K. The intermediate speed hold switch is to the left of the steering wheel. When in second gear, as an option, you can flip this switch to hold it in second gear until you toggle it to go into third. This car is truly elegant.

    This is a private party sale directly from the current owner who owned this beauty for almost 6 years.

    The father of jokes about warm beer and smoke escaping from wires is Joseph Lucas. Lucas died of typhoid after drinking infected water in Naples in 1902.

    What disease did Lucas succumb to?
