M.O.T 22.5.1998
We are very pleased to offer today this original right hand drive Jaguar XK150 FHC which is believed to be the last fixed head coupe off the production line. It is painted in Old English White with Red trim and comes with a current M.O.T. certificate until May next year and it is also taxed until December this year.
The car has never needed a major restoration and when purchased by the present owner and vendor in 1993 it came with all the old M.O.T. certificates from 1982 showing the mileage to be 69816 miles. Virtually everything is original - trim, carpets, seat badges, boot mat, chrome etc - but it has recently had the chassis, battery boxes, all the suspension and the back axle stripped to bare metal and then primed and painted with Finnegans products. The propshaft bearings, brake pipes, servo, engine hoses, plugs, points, distributor cap, H.T. leads and one of the batteries have been renewed over the last two years and Avonturbo speed tyres are fitted on Silver wire wheels.
The car comes with a full length Webasto sunroof and is the automatic three speed version and it is in excellent condition throughout. This is a very good opportunity to purchase a true 'classic' car which is very useable and will reward the new owner handsomely.

This car was mentioned to have been converted from car number 847039bw in Clausagers book on the 3 July 1961.
Was it car 847070 or 847039 ?
