This stunning Jaguar XK150 fixed-head coupé benefits from extensive restoration in recent years and is ready for the next owner to enjoy. The XK was built to its owner's requirements by Sport & Classic Ltd but due to a change of circumstances is reluctantly offered for sale. 'JSU 415' is finished in Signal Red with contrasting red-piped cream leather upholstery and red carpets, while the interior also features a walnut dashboard and a MotoLita wood-rimmed four-spoke steering wheel. The rebuilt engine has been upgraded with 123 electronic ignition and a modern solid-state fuel pump, while a Tremec five-speed gearbox has replaced the old Moss four-speeder. The suspension and rear axle have been rebuilt; power steering installed; and upgraded Coopercraft brakes fitted; and the XK sits on a set of wider stainless steel wire wheels shod with new radial tyres. The result is a car well equipped to cope with demands of modern motoring, while at the same time affording the occupants the classic Jaguar XK experience. We are advised by the vendor that the car is a joy to drive and attracts favourable attention wherever it goes. Priced at considerably less than the restoration costs, this restored and sensibly upgraded Jaguar XK150 is worthy of the closest inspection. The car is offered with sundry bills and a V5C Registration Certificate.
