Footnotes

Launched in 1957, the Jaguar XK150 was the third and final iteration of the XK series, following on from the XK120 and XK140. Available as both a fixed-head coupé or a drophead coupé, the XK150 featured updated styling and various mechanical improvements, including four-wheel disc brakes. The car was launched with a 210bhp 3.4-litre straight-six engine that propelled the car to 60mph in just 7.6 seconds. It could also reach a top speed of 130mph, which was an incredible feat for a roadster at the time.

This 1958 'barn find' example is an original right-hand drive vehicle that was exported to Cycle & Carriage Co. in Singapore on 15 December 1958. It is then known to have returned to the UK in 1971. This is a rare and exciting opportunity to purchase a project vehicle that comes with many spare parts and its original engine. The parts include the original jack and spanner, three Jaguar spanners, a prop shaft, and various other items. There is also the original hood, spare wheel, rear bumper, two wings and the tool board. A heritage certificate and vehicle information sheet is also included, as is the original service handbook and spare keys. The mileage is recorded at 96,992. The present owner intended on getting the vehicle restored but is sadly selling due to ill health. There is enormous potential on offer. A rare opportunity.
