Description:

- Subject to a no expense spared rotisserie restoration

- Upgraded with a 3.8 litre engine

- Fitted with overdrive

This lovely, original right hand drive drophead coupé XK150 is fitted with a overdrive and was registered new on 17th July 1959 and has had just three private owners since. Supplied new to Coombs of Guildford, this Jaguar remained with its first owner until it was acquired by a Mr. Donald Marshall of Sunbury-on-Thames in 1964. Mr. Marshall was a qualified engineer and Jaguar enthusiast and during his near 60-year ownership he looked after the car where necessary. During his tenure he upgraded the engine to a 3.8 litre unit making it a much more usable example. Acquired some three years ago by our vendor, this XK150 was treated to much maintenance work including a no expense spared body off, rotisserie restoration and as such presents in wonderful condition throughout. Other notable works include a new clutch, new brakes, new hood, a new alloy petrol tank, and new wheels and tyres. This Jaguar XK150 has had a huge amount of money spent on it. It now represents a true driver's car and is ready for its next owner and further use, such as the great range of national or international rallies currently on offer; something it has been perfectly designed for.
