Its (recently deceased) German owner purchased this right-hand drive XK150 Coup� from classic-car dealer Royle Hepworth Ltd, of Poole-in-Wharfedale, West Yorkshire in October 1984. Accompanying documentation includes the relevant sales invoice plus another for a general refurbishment and re-spray in Jaguar Indigo Blue carried out prior to shipment to Germany in November 1984. We are advised that while in the current ownership the car has been looked after by official Jaguar dealer Krumey, of M�lheim (currently Krumey & Gilles), work undertaken by them having included replacing the wire wheels and exhaust system, and fitting an overhauled exchange engine (circa 1995). The car is offered with German registration papers/T�V and old-style Swansea V5 (issued September 1981) recording one Simon Blackwell, of Lytham St Annes as its last owner in the UK.
