Offered at auction in the UK for 40 - 45,000 UK Pounds.

The Jaguar XK150 on offer is a Drophead Coupe that left the factory in 1959 bound for the USA. Little more, if anything, is known about its subsequent history until 1990 when the 2+2 seater was repatriated and extensively restored. As well as being dismantled, converted to right-hand drive, upgraded from 3.4 to 3.8 litre specification (via the installation of a correspondingly larger Jaguar powerplant) and fitted with a four-speed manual gearbox plus overdrive, the XK150 is understood to have benefited from a bare metal respray in White and the addition of a wood veneer dashboard not to mention new Dunlop chrome wire wheels. Almost twenty years after the car was first registered with the DVLA on September 1st 1991, the vendor now regards the bodywork as "good", the paintwork as "a bit tired", the engine as "refurbished", the gearbox as "excellent" and the trim as "partially original". With neatly mounted triple SU carburettors going some way towards justifying its faux '3.8 S' badging, 'KSK 435' seemingly has the potential to embarrass many a younger sports car.

Spam prevention question (must be answered):
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?
