This XK150 was a one-owner vehicle in the United States prior to its import into New Zealand in 1996. The original ownership documentation accompanies the car, including the signed transfer papers from the original owner at the time of sale in 1995.

Following importation, the vehicle underwent a comprehensive restoration in New Zealand’s North Island and was subsequently first registered for road use in 2010, showing less than 45,000 original miles at that time.

A recent custodian has continued to carefully develop and maintain the car over the past 15 years. In 2015, the engine was fully rebuilt following bearing damage caused by an incorrectly fitted oil filter gasket. The rebuild exceeded $15,000 and included renewal or refurbishment of all major internal components, with full supporting invoices available.

This XK150 3.4-litre DOHC straight-six SE (Special Equipment) specification features the factory “B-Type” performance cylinder head with large valves, similar in design philosophy to those used in the Le Mans-winning D-Type. It is equipped with twin 1.75-inch (44 mm) SU HD6 carburettors, delivering approximately 210 SAE bhp at 5,500 rpm.

Mechanical specification includes rack and pinion steering and four-wheel Dunlop 12-inch disc brakes, representing the advanced factory SE configuration. The gearbox is the original close-ratio SE unit, fitted with electric overdrive on top gear.

All numbered components remain consistent with factory records and match the original commission and patent plate documentation.

The car presents beautifully and remains in outstanding condition throughout. It is a rare and highly desirable example that attracts attention wherever it is driven, complemented by a superb exhaust note under acceleration evocative of the great 1950s sports racing cars.

Accompanied by extensive documentation including service records, invoices, tool kit and handbooks.

Overall condition is exceptional. In fact, it would be difficult to find a finer example.
