Ebay item 4/17/07
cgi.ebay.com/ebaymotors/Jaguar-XK150-DHC-1960-Jaguar-XK150-DHC-3-8_W0QQitemZ2601 ...
Opening bid $100,000 reserve not met, no bids yet 8 days left in auction.

Sellers description:
This matching numbers 1960 Jaguar XK150 DHC 3.8 is Cotswald Blue with Parchment Interior with Navy Piping. The soft top is Navy, and the boot cover is Navy with Parchment piping. A frame off restoration with no expense spared was performed by one of the finest Jaguar restorers in the country as well as an engine rebuild performed by Bill Basset. The car not only looks like new, but performs as new. Underneath of the car looks every bit as perfect as the rest of the car. This may be one of the finest examples of its kind compared only by a Twin Model which we have in Black with a Red Interior. A restoration to this high degree would be a minimum of $150,000.

Car has a buy it now price of $184,900 for 3 days. Car now said to be in Atlanta, Georgia. 22k miles, seller motorcarstudio

Sellers description:
Motorcar Studio is pleased to offer this 1960 Jaguar XK150 drop-head coupe. Rare factory 3.8 liter engine. Numbers-matching with Heritage Trust Certificate. Stunning in Cotswold Blue over parchment leather interior with blue piping; navy blue convertible top and navy blue boot cover with parchment piping. Excellent paint, body and chrome, nicely detailed engine compartment and undercarriage. This Jag saw a three-year, no-expense-spared frame-off restoration from 2000-2003 by McCabe Automotive Restoration in Mundelein, Illinois (several McCabe restorations have been featured on the lawn at Pebble Beach). Complete restoration records and photos available. Garaged and driven sparingly on nice-weather days over the last 12 years, shows to a "number two plus" standard. Numbers-matching 3.8 liter inline six runs well and is silky smooth; upgraded radiator and a five-speed manual transmission for improved drivability. The original four-speed overdrive unit is available. All mechanical systems fully restored; engine rebuilt by Bill Bassett. Firestone Cavallino Sports on gorgeous 16-inch wire knockoffs offer a period-correct look with modern rubber. A pleasure to drive and a lovely addition to any collection.

Car to be at auction 1/16

Auction description:
Arizona 28-29 January 2016
1960 Jaguar XK 150 3.8 Drophead Coupe
Chassis no. S 838432 DN
Engine no. VA 1111-9
Body no. P 7888
Without Reserve
220 bhp, 3,781 cc DOHC inline six-cylinder engine with twin SU HD6 carburetors, five-speed manual transmission, torsion-bar independent front suspension, live rear axle with semi-elliptical leaf-spring suspension, and four-wheel hydraulic disc brakes. Wheelbase: 102 in.

Restored by noted Jaguar specialists
Finished in exceptionally attractive colors
Fully numbers-matching engine; supplied with original Moss overdrive gearbox
An excellent driver that can also be proudly shown

According to its Jaguar Daimler Heritage Trust certificate, a copy of which is on file, the XK 150 Drophead Coupe offered here was sold new by Jaguar Cars of New York to E.H. Erch of Central Valley, New York. Its owner reports that it was restored by McCabe Automotive Restoration of Mundelein, Illinois, with its engine rebuilt by Bill Bassett of Rhode Island, both well-known Jaguar specialists.

Both the head and block numbers of the engine match the JDHT certificate, confirming it to be fully original. While the original four-speed Moss overdrive gearbox has been replaced with a five-speed conversion unit, for ease in modern driving, the original numbers-matching gearbox does, indeed, accompany the car to its new owner. The body is finished in the exceptionally attractive shade of Cotswold Blue, and, importantly, the actual hue of the color is correct, rather than the "bright" blue often called this shade by restorers.

The car was recently driven by a knowledgeable Jaguar enthusiast and was described as being "the best XK 150 I have ever had the pleasure of driving; it sits cool in 95-degree traffic, has fans that kick on at the right time, and is generally wonderfully solid and ready to drive without worry. I have driven a lot of these and this one is wonderful." It has recently undergone a general mechanical servicing, as well as detailing throughout, and is described as being an excellent car.
