1959 Jaguar XK150S 3.8-Litre Drophead Coupé
Registration no. YCD 354
Chassis no. T827463DN
Engine no. ZB4735-8

Original, right-hand drive, 150S drophead coupés are among the rarest of all XK variants, this car being one of only 662 produced. Its accompanying Jaguar Heritage Trust certificate states that chassis number 'T827463DN' was completed as an XK150S, with that model's 3.4-litre engine and the overdrive gearbox, in September 1959. It is not known when the current engine – a 3.8-litre unit from a 1964 Jaguar MkX saloon – was installed. Originally finished in cream with black interior and matching hood, the car was despatched via distributors Henlys to the dealership Moores of Brighton.

The current vendor purchased 'YCD 354' in 1987, since when it has been used regularly. Very well maintained, the 'XK' has always been looked after by the owner's mechanic, James Hammond, and in the 1990s was treated to a bare-metal re-spray (photographs on file). The car has been used on all the Kop hill climb events of the last four years, is 'on the button' and driving beautifully. Accompanying documentation consists of the aforementioned JHT certificate, its original old-style logbook, sundry restoration invoices, current MoT/tax and Swansea V5C.

Car returns to auction 10/22

the new engine no on the VIN is VAS1013-9:

- Supplied new by Moores of Brighton to F.J. Collis Esq

- Presents as an older restoration but with much recent mechanical work done by Twyford Moors and Fender Broad etc

- Jaguar Heritage Trust Certificate, original 'Buff' logbook, paperwork dating back to the mid 1980s

Description:

According to its accompanying Jaguar Heritage Trust Certificate, this particular example – chassis number T827463DN – was completed on 29th September 1959 as a ‘home market’ XK150 3.8 Litre S Drophead Coupe. The engine number quoted on the Heritage Certificate and in the original 'Buff' logbook is VS2153-9, while the latter document also gives the capacity as 3.8 litres (3781cc). A ‘VS’ prefix is more normally associated with a 3.4 Litre S unit and curiously the car’s chassis plate is stamped with the engine number VAS1013-9 (‘VAS’ being the typical prefix for a 3.8 Litre S powerplant). The apparent anomaly was rendered academic many years ago when the Drophead Coupe was fitted with a replacement 3.8 Litre engine from a 1964 Jaguar MK X Saloon. Supplied new via Moores of Brighton to F.J. Collis Esq of Gellihaf House, Blackwood, the 2+2-seater was initially finished in Cream and first road registered as ‘YCD 354’ on 31st October 1959. Known to have migrated to Westland, Keighley, London and Hertfordshire thereafter, the Jaguar is understood to have been treated to a bare metal respray during the 1990s and to have participated in various Kop Hillclimb events from the late 2000s into the early 2010s. Entrusted to Jaguar Land Rover Specialist Tom Lenthall Ltd during March 2018, the XK150 S was fitted with electronic ignition, new Coopercraft disc brakes all round and five fresh tyres plus having attention paid to its steering, suspension, clutch and overdrive unit etc at a cost of £14,543.58. Despatched to another marque specialist, Fender Broad, later that same year, the Drophead Coupe benefited from a thorough drivetrain refurbishment, engine bay tidying and rustproof treatment with the associated bills totalling a further £26,070. Finally, 2019 saw ‘YCD 354’ sent to a third marque specialist, Twyford Moors, for some £7882.24 worth of improvements. Starting readily upon inspection and running well, this rare and desirable XK150 S 3.8 Litre Drophead Coupe presents as an older restoration. Offered for sale with V5C Registration Document, Heritage Certificate, original logbook, old MOTs dating back to 1985 and the aforementioned recent bills.

The father of jokes about warm beer and smoke escaping from wires is Joseph Lucas. Lucas died of typhoid after drinking infected water in Naples in 1902.

What disease did Lucas succumb to?
