Sellers description:
1960 XK150 3.8 "S" drophead coupe lhd manual: This is a very nice example of this rare model, only 89 dropheads were produced with the more powerful 3.8 engine. This car was restored to a high standard. The painwork looks great, and the engine runs strong. The cars color combinations are hunters green with biscuit interior. The seller provides the chassis number and the engine number, the car is all numbers matching. The chassis# t838651dn and the engine number#vas11019 This car was presented at the 2006 Gooding and Company auction in California. It met reserve and sold for 269,500 US This was a record price, but In my opinion if the 3.4 "S" roadsters are selling for 150,000 US then a 3.8 S"S" should sell for double so The buyer got a deal.
