• Matching-numbers, S-specification example

• Recent full service and sorting by CKL

This example, chassis T820048 DN, has been fully restored in the UK by Jaguar marque specialists. It is exquisitely finished in the most attractive colour combination of Midnight Blue with red leather interior. To be truly appreciated, this ultimate specification Jag must be thoroughly inspected, where its even panel gaps, excellent paint application, and near-flawless interior can be examined. The subtle, dark colour of this XK150 is enhanced by the presence of chrome wire wheels shod in blackwall tyres, as well as correct-style Lucas fog lamps; it is also equipped with a radio for extra enjoyment while on long drives.

T820048 DN has been recently maintained by marque specialists CKL, with the instruction to do whatever was necessary to put the car in perfect working order. With its very rare combination of right-hand drive, 3.4S specification, and being an open top sports example, it will be a jewel in any significant collection of Jaguars.
