This car history is complicated. Anders Clausager reports in his book XK140/150 In Detail that this car was originally built as a LHD chassis no T832016 (3.4S), which was built in Feb 1959. The car was converted to RHD and given the chassis no S820046DN (3.4S model, despite the S prefix instead of the normal T prefix). The Jaguar factory retained S820046DN until Sep 1959, probably for testing and experimental work. It was sold as second-hand through Coombs, Guildford. This RHD car exists, last heard of in Germany.Subsequently, a second LHD OTS was built and allocated the chassis number S832016DN (a standard 3.4 model). There is no further record of this second car.
