A much sought after 'S' model, this XK150 roadster comes with Jaguar Heritage Certificate confirming that it left the factory in March 1959 equipped with the 3.4-litre engine and desirable manual/overdrive transmission. The car was delivered via Mann Egerton finished in Carmen Red with matching leather interior and black soft-top, its present colour scheme. Retaining matching chassis/engine numbers and its original Norfolk registration, '7228 AH' has been in single family ownership from new and comes with its original old-style buff logbook, the latter erroneously recording the engine capacity as 3,781cc.

We are advised the XK has been driven mostly in the dry, is not corroded in the usual places and is generally 'sound'; last taxed in 2004 and garage stored since then, it will have been re-commissioned prior to sale. The car is offered with the aforementioned logbook and Jaguar Heritage Certificate, sundry service invoices, V5 registration document and its original tool kit, PDI form, price list and owner's handbook. An electric windscreen washer and twin 12-volt batteries are the only notified deviations from factory specification.
