Auction description:
Lot 114: 1958 Jaguar XK150 Drophead Coupe
Spring Auction, Coys (20th April 2005)
Overview
This 1958 Jaguar XK 150 Drophead was the 17th car produced and is a genuine UK supplied right hand drive example. Originally delivered by Henleys of London to a Mr C Harris, it is understood that the car originally left the factory as a 3.4 litre but as was the case in those days, Mr Harris sent the car back to the factory and had the 3.8 litre engine fitted when it became available. This is documented by Jaguar, and the car is supplied with a Jaguar / Daimler Heritage Certificate stating the car as supplied with a 3.8 Litre unit. Much of the history is known from the late 1970s but little is known about the car during the period 1962 to 1976. The car was restored in 1980 and its present day condition is described as generally good, finished in the colour of Navy blue with a beige leather interior. The vendor informs us that car is solid with no major rust problems, however it would benefit from some cosmetic updatingto the paintwork. It recently benefited from the fitment of a 5 speed gearbox, a full major service and the later Zeus brake calipers with new front discs. It is supplied with a current MoT and road tax, and also the original 4 speed moss gearbox.

Finished in deep metallic blue with tan leather upholstery, this particular example is considered to be in good overall condition save for some paintwork imperfections. Beginning life as a very early right-hand drive 'Special Equipment' Drophead Coupe (the seventeenth car built - or so its chassis number would imply), we understand that 'OSU 612' has since been mechanically upgraded with a 3.8 litre Jaguar engine and five-speed Getrag manual gearbox. Nicely trimmed, its interior sports a wood rimmed steering wheel and after-market wood veneer dashboard (though, the hood mechanism has apparently caught the lining in one or two places). Said by the vendor to "drive extremely well" and to have passed a recent MOT test without needing any work, it benefits from smart chromework (including comparatively new wire wheels). Showing an unwarranted 67,613 miles on its odometer, this handsome Jaguar is offered for sale with MOT certificate valid until May 29th 2007 and historic class (free) road tax until May 2007.
