Dear Peter [Ingram},
Just seen your comment ,and I can confirm that I used a bonnet,grille and front bumper from a "demic" White coloured XK150 FHC to repair my damaged 150.
That was about 1975 & I cannot remember the VIN of that car, but it was registered something like 999 BUP or 999 PUB ? I bought it minus eng` & g`box , trim, etc and scrapped the entire car after removing the parts i needed. A big job broke out, and I ended up doing a "body off " complete restoration, mechanical, electrical, paint & trim !
Never regretted it, as the car has been totally trouble free for 30 years out of the 39 years I`ve owned it.
Regards , Guy

Please ammend records as I sold the car in March 2009 after 40 years of ownership and it has now been re-painted by the new owner Mr D Tonge.
I`m regretting selling it now I`ve seen it in all its splendour !
Kind Regards,
Guy.

Note. Reason for non original Engine number on this car.
I fitted a Jaguar factory reconditioned engine to this car SBV405 at Jaguar House, [Ashton Preston Garages Ltd] in 1966 before buying the car a couple of years later and enjoying it for the next 43 years. I sold the car to a Mr D. Tonge, and it has since been sold on to a Mr C. Miller.
Saw the car on a rally Aug 2014 . Was still maintained in Condition 1.
