SUMMARY
This well-maintained, older restored example sports subtle upgrades whilst maintaining that classic look.
DESCRIPTION
- Surely one of the most sublime shapes Jaguar has ever produced, the XK150 in all its forms has poise, power and charisma in abundance
- The most significant change from the XK140 was the adoption of Dunlop disc brakes all round, while the 3.4-litre XK engine, fed by twin SU HD6 carburettors, produced 210bhp thanks to a new B-Type cylinder head, improving mid-range torque
- First registered in 1960, this original, UK-supplied, right-hand drive, 3.4-litre 150 DHC still retains its original green registration document
- It was purchased in 2012 by our vendors who used it for their holidays on the continent touring France and Switzerland
- Maintained at considerable cost during this period, documented in the Condition Report and supported by the service history
- Refinished in Cotswold Blue during 2006 and the bumpers and over-riders were re-chromed in 2016
- The interior was fully retrimmed in soft Burgundy hide with matching carpets in 2008 and remains in superb condition
- The car has been upgraded with a 5-speed manual gearbox although the original 4-speed box with overdrive will form part of the sale
- Supplied with its Jaguar Heritage Certificate, original registration document, V5C, service records and an Owners Manual
