    Jaguar XK 150 S-Roadster

    Modell: XK 150 S-Roadster
    Chassis-Nummer: T 831982
    Leistung/Hubraum: ca. 195 kW / 265 PS / 5500
    Motor: 3.800 ccm
    deutsche Erstauslieferung am 19.02.1959 nach Hamburg
    Chassis, Getriebe, body matching nos!!
    Zustand:

    Eine kleine Sensation stellt eine der wohl sehr seltenen Scheunenfunde dar:
    Im Juni 1970 stellte ein junger Mann einen Monat nach Geburt seines ersten Sohnes seinen
    XK150 S-Roadster

    in der (beheizten) Tiefgarage des väterlichen Betriebs ab und beschloss Pilot zu werden.
    Eine Fliegerlaufbahn folgte, der Wagen stand und stand ...
    Der heute 33-jährige Sohn übergab uns das Fahrzeug.
    Wir versprachen eine sach- und fachgerechte Restauration des nur in geringer Stückzahl in dieser Form gebauten Fahrzeuges.

    Sie sehen nachfolgend die Fotos der Entdeckung: seit 34 Jahren unberührt.
    Die im Auto gefundene Post (z.T. ungeöffnet) stammt aus dem Jahr 1970!
    Ein Detail an dem Fahrzeug ist eben so sensationell wie der Fund selbst:
    das Auto ist mit einem Hardtop ausgestattet!!!
    ... und es scheint nicht nur irgendein Hardtop zu sein, sondern ein Werks-Hardtop, aber hierzu werden noch Untersuchungen durchgeführt.

    Diese Fahrzeug wurde einer aufwendigen Vollrestauration unterzogen...

    German to English translation by Reno:
    On 07 June 1970 the car was parked in the engine room of a factory in Stuttgart Germany and forgotten. The tires were square when they discovered the car after 34 years (see one of the photos)
    The car was found with a rare Hardtop (the restorer believes it is a Jaguar factory hardtop).

    On 19.02.1959 the car was delivered to the Hamburger dealer as 3.4 liter S model. Until 1965, the engine was changed at least twice in each case with a 3.8 liter S engine. The engine in the car when he purchased it shows welds, therefore the block and the cylinder head were changed. The car was also converted to lead-free. Brakes are from a XJ6.

    43 cars of this model were built and only 8 exported to Germany ...

    The D-type racing transmission has a manual overdrive, it was overhauled at O/D Spares in Coventry.

    The body was overtaken in Göttingen through company Strecker and also painted there, the interior is from Aldridge in England.

    Spam prevention question (must be answered):
    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?
