Car to be at auction in '08
www.coys.co.uk/auctions/lot.php

Auction description:
Fine Motor Cars
Blenheim Palace, Woodstock, Oxfordshire
Saturday 5th July 2008
Lot 433
1958 Jaguar XK150SE Drophead Coupe
Registration no: 940 HYT
Chassis no: S827043BW
Estimate: £35,000-44,000

This example was originally delivered in 1958 to Mr John Bloom as a present from his business partner Mr Barry Humpman. The pair had made a significant name for themselves by marketing washing machines, so successfully that they ended up with over 10% of the market share from companies such as Hotpoint and Hoover. Mr Bloom was also credited as central to David Bowie receiving his first recording contract; such was the diversity of his business and social interests. It was then sold to Raymond Largn and then, in 1970, to Stanley Mann, one of the Britain's leading vintage Bentley specialists.

The vendor bought the car in early 1989 and it was subsequently the subject of a comprehensive 'top to bottom' rebuild, including stripping the body back to bare metal before repainting in its current colour. The engine was removed and overhauled by Jaguar specialist Norman Motors in London which also rebuilt the automatic transmission and torque converter. Robinson and Godwin undertook other remedial work: the brakes were rebuilt, a stainless steel exhaust system was fitted and a new wiring loom installed. I addition the radiator was reconditioned, front shock absorbers replaced and the suspension overhauled. Once all the mechanic components had been inspected and found to be working perfectly, and the body was finished, the two were reunited, the bright-work was re-chromed, the interior re-trimmed in high quality Connolly red leather with black piping and a new, full Mohair hood fitted together with new chrome wire wheels.

A photographic history accompanies the car as well as a number of MoT test certificates showing the mileage to be a genuinely low 24,148. Complete with a full one year current MoT test certificate, this magnificent example is part of a collection of equally well presented cars and as a Special Equipment genuine right-hand drive example, deserves space in any discerning Jaguar collection.

It was then acquired by Raymond Largn and then, in 1970, by Stanley Mann, one of the Britain’s leading vintage Bentley specialists.

The car has lived in Cyprus since 2008 and was shipped back to the UK in February this year.
