Sellers description:
This 1959 Jaguar XK 150 Drop Head Coupe is a barn find in remarkable un-restored rust free all original condition. The car is the rare automatic with overdrive configuration with matching engine/chassis/transmission numbers.

This car has been sitting since 1980 when a fuel pump failed (rebuilt fuel pump included). Engine does turn over smoothly and none of the disc brakes are seized.

The dry climate in Idaho along with being stored indoors preserved this car beyond any expectations, as mentioned the car is rust free. The wooden floorboards are completely intact with no rotting, even the bottoms of the doors are without rust.

The original Dunlop spare tire in excellent condition is still mounted. The original complete emergency toolkit is included.

Original upholstery is in very good condition with no rips or tears (piping trim on drivers seat lower edge is separating a bit). Paint is in good condition with only a few rock chips of note. Original wire wheels have some minor chrome pitting. All original chrome trim is present with very minor pitting in some areas. Convertible top is intact without tears or rips (some shrinking is evident along edges) the wooden frame is complete, headliner has minor water staining, rear window is clear and un-cracked. All glass is complete and chip and crack free.

Generally excellent condition for a car of this age.
