This genuine XK150S was dispatched from Jaguar Cars on 11th June 1959 as confirmed by the Heritage Certificate and was registered to J. Beet Ltd. in Sheffield. In December 1966, it was exported to Sweden where it spent the next 23 years of its life and was eventually repatriated into the UK in 1989 by a Mr. M. Hallowes of Loxwood in West Sussex. Restoration work was carried out on her in 1970 by the Swedish owners and again in 2002 by Jaguar dealers, Holland Brothers in Lincolnshire. The result of this substantial investment is a superb XK150S with manual transmission and overdrive. Finished in blue with contrasting red leather trim and supplied with a V5 registration document, a full year's MoT test certificate and a comprehensive history file. This immaculate example could easily prove to be a shrewd investment.

This matching-numbers car is one of only 42 right-hand drive XK150S 3.4-litre fixed-head coupés made and was sold new in the UK via Hatfield's of Sheffield. It was first owned by J Beet Ltd of Sheffield and first registered '3 WJ'. In December 1966 the XK was exported to Sweden where it was owned by a Bengt Johansson of Gothenburg. A 'km/h' speedometer was fitted. Extensively restored in Sweden, the car picked up a number of concours awards there before returning to this country in 1989. Bills on file document the restoration undertaken in Sweden and there are also many others present relating to works carried out since its return, including a major refurbishment in 2001.

The Jaguar was imported into the UK by Mike Hallowes, who sold it to David Woodhouse of Sheffield in 1991. Its next owner was Barry Cooke, who purchased the car in October 2001. While in Mr Cooke's ownership the car, now reregistered '6997 ED', was maintained by HRG Classic Jaguars of Sandbach, Cheshire. It found a new owner at Bonhams' December Sale in 2011 (Lot 416). Currently registered '558 YUU', the XK is finished in blue with red leather interior while other noteworthy features include new Wilton carpeting, original spotlights and correct triple SU carburettors. Its most recent service, carried out in April 2014, included a radiator overhaul and other works at a cost of £2,140. A delightful XK150S, the car is offered with Jaguar Heritage Certificate, MoT to March 2015, V5C document and a history file containing the aforementioned bills, a quantity of expired MoTs, registration details and its old Swedish registration papers. A Kenlowe electric fan and Coopercraft brakes are the only notified deviations from factory specification.

Seen on facebook 8/21: This car has been given a comprehensive mechanical refresh by P&K Thornton in Nottinghamshire.

“Another Jaguar XK150 saved from the hands of time, road testing in preparation for @jaguarxkclub Peak District Tour. The Coupe arrived to us as a non-runner after a long period of storage and general deterioration. We knuckled down on the comprehensive list of checks and set a goal of having back as a "reliable runner" for the above-mentioned event. Carburettors rebuild, partial engine and gearbox rebuilds, fuel system updating, electrical installation repairs, brakes upgraded, leather conditioning. Today it passed the 100 miles test without a single drop of oil being dropped, in pure comfort and with a respectable speed average."
