Completed at Jaguar's Coventry workshops on October 13th, 1960, this XK150 Coupe was equipped with the larger 3.8-Liter engine from new and finished in the elegant combination of Cotswold Blue over a black leather interior. Configured as a left-hand drive car, the new Jaguar was dispatched to the United States shortly thereafter and delivered by Jaguar Cars of New York to its first owner, a person by the name of F.L. Hovey. Enjoyed and coveted by its original owner for more than 18 years, this Jaguar XK150 3.8-Liter Coupe was sold to its second owner, a Mr. J. McGreevy of Toronto, Canada, in 1979. Mr. McGreevy would cherish the XK for nearly 33 years before selling it to the 3rd and most recent owner, Mr. A. Lopatin in July of 2017.

Upon purchase, Mr. Lopatin would commission a documented restoration of the aging Jaguar which can be scrutinized in the comprehensive file accompanying the car. The work covered both mechanical and cosmetic aspects and totaled over $150,000. Presented in Cotswold Blue over a neatly contrasting Grey interior, this striking Sports Coupe is presented with Special Equipment including dual exhaust, wire wheels and twin fog lights up front. Further, its 3.8-Liter engine is confirmed as retaining its matching-numbers by the Jaguar-issued Heritage Trust Certificate. A 15inch Moto-Lita wood-rimmed steering wheel has been fitted, while the original steering wheel and painted wire wheels will accompany the sale. In addition, a knock off hammer, tool roll with jack, operating and service handbook, fitted car cover, and the complete restoration file including parts invoices, detailed restoration invoices, photos, and the Jaguar Heritage Trust Certificate will also join the car. From the end of the legendary XK production run, this fine matching-numbers Jaguar is a very usable collector car and is ready to be enjoyed on high speed rallies such as the Copperstate 1000 or Colorado Grand.
