My father, Jack Steineger, bought this car new while in London. It was shipped home to Kansas City, KS where it was his daily driver until 1967 when he bought a new Buick Riviera. My brother then owned it for a year or so then sold it to buy a "64 Vette. We lost track of the car after that but heard it had been painted yellow, and later crashed into a garage door.

Chris writes to the XK Gazette that he has original delivery documentation and would like to find the car/current owner to fill in its history. Please contact the XK Club with any information.

We have this vehicle in our inventory of vehicles to be restored. We purchased this some years ago in boxes. It has a non-original motor and is in need of rust repair. Would like to find any other history about this vehicle.

My father worked for the US Embassy in Germany & Bagdad during the 1950s. In 1957, he and the family moved home to the US and he bought this car new as a kind of trophy. It was the only XK150 in Kansas City at the time. My father drove the Jag daily until '67, when he bought a new Buick Riviera. My older brother drove the Jag a few years but in '69 it was sold out of the family. It spent 47 years in Oklahoma and was taken apart there in the mid 1980s.

One year ago I found it and bought it back on a whim, but its for sale as of 5/31/19

V1001-8 and associated gearbox was in 834001 and was removed by mid 1957 and was fitted to S824021 which in the process of fitting to the Peter Whitehead car built in the experimental department in august 1957 and was fitted with the first prototype straight port head and upgraded to 9-1 compression. This car is noted in factory records as the prototype XK150 "S" Tour de France. Whist factory records note 834001 as "reduced to produce" in 1962 this was in fact only a date as a result of an audit tidying up factory cars where no one had updated records earlier

Well: unless you count V1001-9 which may have been in 834001 now

Spam prevention question (must be answered):
The father of jokes about warm beer and smoke escaping from wires is Joseph Lucas. Lucas died of typhoid after drinking infected water in Naples in 1902.

What disease did Lucas succumb to?
