cgi.ebay.com/ebaymotors/BEAUTIFUL-BLACK-PLATED-CAL-XK150-DHC-ROCK-SOLID-FACTORY- ...
Current bid $25,000 reserve not met, 10 bids 9 days left in auction. 73k miles.

Sellers description:
1958 Jaguar XK150 Drop Head Coupe with black California license plates and solid original body. Rare and valuable model with plenty of potential. Frame and undercarriage have been dry-ice blasted to expose the factory metal, seams and spot welds, no rust anywhere. Stored inside a garage in Moraga, CA for 20 years and not driven. We started the engine on auxiliary gas and it runs on all cylinders. Throttle linkage is not hooked up, gas tank should be cleaned, and other systems should be checked prior to driving. Paint is probably 30 years old but shows well, interior and top in good condition.

I BOUGHT THIS CAR ABOUT FOUR YEARS AGO AND HAS BEEN TOTALLY REBUILT SINCE THEN INCLUDING A FULL BARE METAL RESPRAY. THERE IS ABSOLUTELLY NO FILLER IN THIS CAR OR ROT WHATSOEVER. IT STILL HAD THE ORIGINAL COPPER AROUND WHEEL ARCHES WHEN PAINT WAS STRIPPED OFF

IT HAS HAD EVERYTHING DONE TO IT INCLUDING A FULL ENGINE GEARBOX AND OVERDRIVE REBUILD. FURTHERMORE EVERY BUSH BRAKE PART HAS BEEN REPLACED (JUST ABOUT EVERYTHING ELSE ON THE CAR HAS BEEN REPLACED INCLUDING A FULL INTERIOR REBUILD. THE HOOD AND UNDERLINING HAS ALSO BEEN REPLACED PLUS A NEW HOOD COVER

THERE IS TOO MUCH TO LIST BUT THE CAR IS NOT FAR OFF PERFECT IN CONDITION BOTH BODYWISE AND MECHANICALLY

THE CAR IS SITUATED IN GIBRALTAR AND I HAD IT ORIGINALLY ON BRITISH REG IT IS NOW ON GIBRALTAR REG HOWEVER EASY TO TRANSFER TO WHEREVER YOU WANT IT.

I DROVE THE CAR ALL THE WAY FROM UK LAST SUMMER TO GIBRALTAR SOME 1000 MILES WITHOUT ONE PROBLEM

IT ALSO HAS A MODERN STEREO SYSTEM WITH IS I POD FRIENDLY WITH BLUETOOTH HANDS FREE CONNECTION

THE CAR STARTED LIFE AS AN AUTOMATIC BUT WE HAVE MADE IT INTO A FOUR SPEED WITH OVERDRIVE WITH A PROPER XK150 MANUAL GEARBOX
