FOR SALE VIA PUBLIC AUCTION There are no pre-auction sales. Auction: Sunday 10 April, 2.00pm Auction and Viewing location: ASB Showgrounds, 217 Green Lane West, Epsom, Auckland On view from 6 April Auction Estimate: $280,000 - $320,000 This lot is subject to a buyers premium of 10% +GST The vehicle was built on 13 July 1960 and sold new at Henleys London, Rye Park Garages, Ryegate. It has an original number plate from UK and a Heritage certificate. It is 1 of 115 original RHD Fixed Head Coupes. The car has never been stripped down completely and restored, so is remarkably original and in excellent condition. An overhaul included the engine, front suspension, steering mounts, brakes, and exhaust system. Touring bucket seats were fitted, alternator in generator housing, alloy radiator, and the addition of electric power steering. The last few cars for the final run out of the XK being sold ahead of the launch of the new E-Type, in March 1961 were the highest specification. They have a fantastic set of specifications, including the 9:1 compression twin overhead camshaft 265bhp engine (matching numbers) that is virtually identical to the earliest E Types. CMC is also installed and very discrete Eli-steer electric power steering. A 5 speed Tremec T5 gearbox, all synchro gearbox was installed, though the original Moss 4 speed manual, overdrive gearbox accompanies the car. In 2017, the vendor commissioned CMC to undertake a bare metal repaint, with all external chrome work restored or replaced. The car was imported into New Zealand between November and Jan 2018, arriving just in time to be on special display at the Ellerslie Classic Car Show in February 2018. This is a car ready for immediate use, and in this condition will not disappoint. It is very rare in right-hand drive form. With full matching numbers, this XK150 3.8-litre S is worthy of the closest inspection representing a wonderful opportunity for the serious Jaguar collector to acquire an extant example of one of the most powerful limited production XKs manufactured.
