Description from above auction:
16 Aug 2013 11:00 PDT Carmel Motorcars
Lot 182
1959 Jaguar XK150S 3.4-Liter Roadster
Chassis no. T831474DN
Engine no. VS1456-9
This left-hand-drive XK150S is confirmed by its Heritage Certificate to have been dispatched on October 14th, 1958 to Jaguar Cars New York. It was finished in cream with red upholstery and a black top before purchase by its first owner, Mario Riedmann of Alkali Lake, British Columbia.

Retaining its original matching numbers engine, the Jaguar has benefited from a comprehensive nut and bolt restoration by Classic Showcase, the result being an ideal mix of a car that can be enjoyed on the road as well as shown at Concours events.

During this restoration the car was stripped to bare metal in preparation for primer, sealer, paint, base, clear coat, and finally, color sanded and buffed for a superb finish. The engine was rebuilt to factory specifications, while an upgraded 5-speed transmission was fitted for long-distance touring. The clutch system and hydraulic systems were restored, and a new wiring loom was fitted. The radiator and gas tank have both been replaced, while the suspension components and rear end have been restored. Brightwork was replated and the door glass was replaced. A new properly tailored upholstery and top were fitted, and today the car gleams in Old English White over a Biscuit interior. This entire process was documented on a DVD that accompanies the car. The 150S models are some of the most highly prized Jaguars of the 1950s, renowned for their excellent driving attributes and great looks; here is a great example for the owner looking to experience a 150 as Sir William Lyons intended.
