Description:

Completed on 5th July 1960, chassis T827610 was supplied new via Ritchies of Glasgow. Initially road registered as '400 BGD', the identity of its first keeper is not recorded. Belonging to David Sydney Gordon Esq. of Ludlow (a doctor who also served as Surgeon Lieutenant Commander to the Royal Naval Reserve) by the 1970s, the Jaguar is known to have passed through the hands of Richard de la Rue Esq, John Henry Wright Esq, Kurt Kauk Esq, Philip Scott Esq and renowned dealer JD Classics before entering the current ownership. The earliest MOT certificate on file suggests that the XK150 'S' 3.8 litre had covered some 59,000 miles by November 1979. Some thirty-six years later, its odometer shows an unwarranted (1)06,565 miles. Pleasingly retaining its original Suede Green leather upholstery, the Drophead Coupe had its factory-applied British Racing Green livery renewed during Mr Kauk's custodianship (1984-2010).

Entrusted to marque specialist Marina Garage of Bournemouth for a new clutch (2011) and thorough engine overhaul (2012) whilst in Mr Scott's care, chassis T827610 was advertised by JD Classics as a 'matching numbers example' and 'a presentable and very sound, original car which would be ideal for touring or rallying'. The vendor has certainly enjoyed several memorable jaunts aboard the Jaguar and is only offering it for sale due to the acquisition of a very rare prewar MG. Further enhanced during his tenure, recent fettling has seen the XK150 S 3.8 litre treated to a new sump gasket, re-plated ash tray and replacement servo / master cylinder for its uprated braking system etc.

Seller's description:

Jaguar XK150 3.8 S 1960 Road (U48) £190,000

CKL are thrilled to offer this 1960 Jaguar XK150 S RHD, 1 of 69 cars built.

Finished in British Racing Green with Suede Green Vaumol Hide.

Recently restored with no expense spared with over £160,000 spent on the restoration.

At launch in 1957, the XK150 would be the final model of the XK series and would see a host of upgrades over its predecessors. Boasting all-round disc brakes, it provided the edge over most available production cars of the time. While the highly successful 3.4 litre Jaguar straight six engine provided ample power and proved to be a worthy powerhouse, Jaguar would install the 3.8 litre straight six in 1960. The newly installed 3.8 litre would launch the XK150 to the top of the class with 220 bhp, however, Jaguar didn’t stop there. A second option, the “S” variant was available and with further tuning providing 265 horses under the bonnet and a top speed of 135 mph. Only 69 of these “S” variants were ever built as right-hand drive dropheads, therefore, the XK150S has become a highly desirable and very usable classic in today’s world.
