This 1961 3.8 litre XK150 drop head coupe is a rare hard to find car as Jaguar only built 618 of the left hand drive XK150 drop heads with the larger 3.8 litre engine. One recently sold at the 2014 RM Auction in Monterey, CA for $240,000.00. This is a matching numbers California car. The car was previously owned by a Jaguar enthusiast and collector who owned the car for over 30 years. He bought this XK150 from a fellow who had the car in a movie studio located in California. He roughly spent $135,000.00 while the car was in a restoration shop. When he took ill, the restoration was stopped. The paint on the car is superb, and the car was rust free when the restoration was started. The engine has been completely rebuilt, all the brakes have been rebuilt and the whole braking system was replaced, the interior was replaced, a new fuel system was installed, a new mohair top was installed, the chrome was all re-chromed, all the instruments were sent to Nisonger Instruments to be re-calibrated and restored and many more new parts were installed on the car. There is a new fuel tank that has been installed and there is a new wiring loom that has yet to be fitted.

Their description:
This 1961 3.8 liter XK150 drop head coupe a hard to come by car as Jaguar only built 618 of the left hand drive XK150 drop heads with the 3.8 liter engine. One sold at the 2014 RM Auction in Monterey, CA for $240,000.00. This is a matching number car except for the gearbox and the numbers are as follows - Chassis Number - J61S838664 (the J61 designates it is a California car), Engine Number - VA1514-9, Body Number - P8175, Gearbox Number - JL37845CR (presently in car - Jaguar Heritage Certificate shows - M5282J). The numbers listed are the stamped numbers and were matched to the Jaguar Heritage Certificate. The car was previously owned by Chuck Pilate, who is a great Jaguar enthusiast and collector in the Michigan area. Chuck owned the car for over 30 years. He bought this XK150 from a fellow who had the car in a movie studio located in California. Chuck roughly spent $135,000.00 while the car was in a restoration shop. When Chuck took ill, the restoration was stopped. We purchased the car the way you see it, with the completion of the restoration still needed. The paint on the car is gorgeous, and the car was rust free when the restoration was started. The engine has been completelyrebuilt, all the brakes have been rebuilt and the whole braking system was replaced, the interior was replaced, a new fuel system was installed, a new mohair top was installed, the chrome was re-chromed, all the instruments were sent to Nisonger Instruments to be re-calibrated and restored and many, more new parts were installed on the car. There is a new fuel tank that has been installed and there is a new wiring loom that has yet to be hooked up. We have the Jaguar Heritage Certificate for the car and a clean title.

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?
