Owned this car from 1966 to 1969 - was a triple carb - overdrive - 4 speed
but had no S badges on either door - dual exhaust and painted wire wheels - it appears to be an early production - am curious why it had S equipment but no S badges - was it perhaps a prototype or ?

Owned this car from 1966 to 1969 in Louisville KY - bought from a used car lot on Berry Blvd. and traded in @ Tafel Motor's downtown in January 1969

Had three 2" SU carbs - 4 speed, with 2 speed electric overdrive - dual exhaust and 4 wheel disc brakes, and painted wire wheels - White exterior w black leather interior - all of the service invoices from several vendors refer to it as a 1958 XK150S - appears to be an early production - am curious why it had S equipment but no S badges - no sign of body work - was it perhaps a prototype or ?

Any help appreciated

The first T ots was 28 August 1958, T 831221,

The first S ots was April 1958 S-830336

Without a Heritage Certificate the T claim for 830761 cannot be verified.

also the triple carb engine could be a transplant replacing the original 3.4. two carb.
