Chassis ‘827204BW’ was manufactured in 1958 and is one of just 623 original right-hand drive XK150 Dropheads. Interestingly supplied new to Ireland, the Jaguar is finished in Cream paintwork with a Black hood and has a complementary Red leather interior upholstery. A ‘matching numbers’ example, ‘NSU 695’ features its original 3.4-litre engine, allied to the very rare factory three-speed Borg-Warner automatic transmission. Returning to the United Kingdom mainland in 1989, the XK150 has had just four keepers since the Jaguars return and has resided in the vendors ownership for the last twenty-three years. Used widely during the vendor’s ownership of the XK150, the has benefitted from sensible upgrades during this time, including fitment of seat belts. Provided with an overhaul of the Borg-Warner gearbox during the current custodianship, the XK150 has further benefitted from a recent front brake overhaul and a new radiator.

Described by the vendor as being a ‘very honest and straight example’, the vendor rates chassis ‘827204BW’ as being in ‘very good’ condition in regard to the bodywork and paintwork, and as having an ‘excellent’ engine, gearbox, electrical equipment, and interior upholstery, noting that even the clock and fuel gauge work! Offered with a large history file, ‘NSU 695’ is supplied with a Heritage Certificate, a large selection of invoices, sundry paperwork and current V5C document. A highly desirable ‘matching’ numbers, original right-hand drive, automatic transmission example, this XK150 has much to recommend it.
