Additional description from '98 auction:
This example was supplied new in France and has been owned by the vendor for the past 20 years; we are told it was the subject of a total restoration. Although the paintwork might benefit from some attention, the interior has been largely renewed, this work having been done to a very good standard, the colours outside and inside to original specification. The engine was started and ran smoothly but the car was not road tested by Christie's before the sale; however, the owner confirms that it drives very well. The XK has French registration documents.

Originally a 3.4-litre model supplied new in France, this left-hand drive XK150 coupé was purchased by the current vendor at a UK auction in 1998, having been with its then owner for some 20 years. The car was restored in 1998 and also benefits from numerous mechanical upgrades. These include an improved engine, built by recognised specialist Guy Broad to 3.8 litres capacity, which incorporates triple SU 2'' carburettors, Venolia pistons, Arrow rear oil seal, lip seal cylinder head conversion, straight porting with 1¾" inlet and 1⅞" exhaust valves, and D-type specification camshafts. Additional performance enhancements include a five-speed Getrag gearbox, limited-slip differential, power assisted steering, aluminium radiator, 15" chromed wire wheels, and disc brakes all round. The XK has completed various European rallies and comes with a FIVA passport. Described by the private vendor as in generally very good condition, the car also comes with EU registration papers and invoices from Guy Broad and Don Law (totalling some £20,000 in 2000/2001).
