Representing the XK150 in its ultimate configuration, this 3.8-litre drophead coupé was manufactured in September 1959 and delivered to Jaguar Cars, New York, USA. Its accompanying Jaguar Heritage Certificate reveals that the car left the factory equipped with automatic transmission and was finished in cream with red interior and black soft-top.
The XK was imported from New Zealand in 2016 having been completely restored in Auckland in 2004 and changed from left- to right-hand drive (album of restoration photographs available). The car now has a manual gearbox, while the owner has fitted a new dynamo, distributor cap, radio, speakers, aerial, and passenger-side door catch. Accompanying invoices testify to the fact that servicing has been carried out regularly. Described by the private vendor as in 'first class' condition throughout, this beautiful XK150 is offered with a V5C registration document and the aforementioned invoices, photographs, and Heritage Certificate.
