Originally a left-hand drive fixed-head coupé, this XK150 was rebuilt to a very high standard by a father-and-son team during the period 2000-2005, including a full engine rebuild, interior re-trim, new hood and lining, and new MWS wire wheels. It is understood that the conversion from left- to right-hand drive and from fixed to drophead coupé configuration was undertaken at this time. As is sometimes the case with converted vehicles, the XK was given a new chassis number by the DVLA (see above) the original having been 'S836774DN'. Only 343 miles had been covered post restoration when the car was offered for sale at Bonhams' Olympia auction in December 2009 (Lot 563) where it was purchased by the current vendor. Since acquisition '159 XUF' has been well maintained and seen only light use, being stored as part of the owner's private collection.

The XK has recently been serviced & small items addressed, re-aligning door shut lines, hood alignment & trim items. Finished in Burgundy with cream leather interior, the car presents very well & affords a highly cost effective route to open XK150 motoring. Offered with Swansea V5 registration document & sundry paperwork.

Auction description:
Upon purchase of this right hand drive manual transmission 3.4-litre drophead coupe conversion in 2013, the vendor was informed it had been created by a father and son team (based on lefthand drive Fixed Head Coupe chassis number S836774DN) over a period of five years between 2000 and 2005. Whilst no invoices exist for their labours, he advises the work was carried out to a high standard and included a comprehensive engine overhaul, retrimming of the interior in Parchment leather, a new hood and lining being sourced together with the fitment of new MWS chrome wire wheels. Following completion of the car's transformation we understand the DVLA issued the vehicle with a new chassis number which is recorded on the V5. This document appears to show the engine number incorrectly as V 7298-8 since the cylinder head is stamped V 4298-8. Having spent a number of subsequent years in storage it is believed just 900 miles have been covered since completion as evidenced by the odometer reading. More recent works include the fitting of new front discs and brake callipers earlier this year. Perfect for the approaching summer, the car is offered with a Swansea V5 document and current MoT expiring on 12 January 2016.
