Additional description from above auction:
The Drophead Coupé offered here was originally delivered in New England, in the USA, and was re-imported to Europe some 30 years ago. In the early 1990s, it was lovingly restored by the well-known British XK specialists at RWHS Jaguars, who were careful to not destroy its wonderful and authentic classic aura. The car features an overdrive transmission and four-wheel disc brakes, making it suitable for both extended cruising and sparkling motorway performance. Its upgraded 3.8-litre engine boasts excellent performance, whilst the bodywork and interior have been restored in the original colour combination from 1958: Black with a Tan interior, a Sand top, and optional beechwood interior trim. The bonnet retains its original number stamp, an indication of the originality of the body.

This is a handsome XK150--ideal for continued enjoyment and touring and accompanied by a comprehensive file of historical documents.
