* Delivered new to the USA

* Left-hand drive

* Automatic transmission

* Local import duties paid

* Requires re-commissioning

A sought after Special Equipment model, this car is one of only 674 3.4-litre XK150 fixed-head coupés built with automatic transmission. The motor car comes complete with a JDHT Certificate, showing that it left the Browns Lane factory on 27th October 1958 on its way to Jaguar Cars, New York, USA. Believed originally supplied to its first owner in Nevada or Arizona, the XK was recently purchased in Antioch, California.

The car is in extremely original condition and starts 'on the button'. It was purchased out of long term storage so will require re-commissioning, but nevertheless appears very sound with all electrics working (wipers, gauges, rev counter, heater fan, etc). Originally finished in Mist Grey with red leather trim, the car is now painted white but retains its original upholstery, carpets, and boot mat. It comes complete with full original tool kit (in a new tool roll) and an owner's maintenance manual. It is hoped that a UK Registration certificate will have been obtained before the auction, but if not the car will come with all required documents, duty paid and complete with the NOVA letter.
