Auction description:
Lot 270
1961 JAGUAR XK 150 3.8l CABRIOLET
Dutch title
Chassis n°S 838986 BW
Engine n°VA 2149-9

- Exceptional original condition
- Matching numbers
- Genuine "California black plates"

The car in the sale comes from California. It has been repainted once and still has the original black registration plates. It is presented in remarkable original condition, with original engine and cylinder head. The manual gearbox was replaced with a four-speed box with overdrive from a Jaguar XJ6. A file of invoices confirms that $27,000 was spent between 2007 and 2011 on mechanical work. The upholstery is superb and could be original, and the beige canvas hood is in good condition. An example not to be missed.
