Surely the ultimate XK ‘time machine,’ this gorgeous, original XK150S has covered a mere 39,000 miles from new and has received 96+ JCNA Preservation Class points in several appearances. Matching numbered throughout and effectively unrestored, it nevertheless benefits from a $37,500 total engine and drive train rebuild recently completed, as well as new suspension and brakes. This XK has been driven only 2,000 miles in the past nine years and is extremely well documented. The accompanying comprehensive records document its history, while the archive report names the first owner and shows that the XK was custom ordered from Jaguar Cars in England. A desirable manual/overdrive transmission model finished in Sherwood Green with green (suede) hide upholstery, the car is currently being fitted with the factory-optional green leather fitted luggage. It also comes with the original spare parts box complete with all large and small tools and spares. To original factory specification and just plain glorious, this XK drives superbly and is in as near-perfect condition as a 48 years old Jaguar could possibly be. Offered with Certificate of Title.
