    Car to be at auction 4/16
    www.silverstoneauctions.com/jaguar-xk150

    Auction description:
    Race Retro Classic Car Sale
    Registration: xsk647
    Chassis Number: s838745bw
    Engine Number: va1673-8
    CC: 3.8
    Year of Manufacture: 1960
    Estimate (£): 65,000 - 75,000

    This original 3.8 litre XK150 Drophead Coupé was subject to a complete body off restoration approximately 15 years ago by respected marque specialists XK Engineering. Finished in its original colour combination of Cotswold Blue with matching Dark Blue interior and blue hood, the car has been used sparingly since its restoration and presents very well with good shut lines and, whilst there are some minor blemishes in the paintwork, we feel the car is eminently useable in its current form and would make an ideal touring companion.

    Manufactured on 8th March 1960, this example was sold new by Jaguar Cars New York and was subsequently repatriated to the UK prior to restoration. Sensible modern upgrades include a 5-speed gearbox and Kenlowe fan. Whilst being photographed, the car started up without fault and maintained healthy oil pressure. Fitted with chrome wire wheels and radial tyres, this XK150 certainly looks the part and is accompanied by a lovely history file. A large number of bills and receipts are present along with a Heritage Certificate, some photos of the restoration and its UK V5C.

    We believe that XK Roadsters and Dropheads offer classic British open-top motoring for a very reasonable outlay and also represent a most sensible investment opportunity. This car is a fine example of the model and would take pride of place in any Jaguar collection.

    Spam prevention question (must be answered):
    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?
