This XK 150 Drop Head Coupe in question was manufactured in Coventry on 21/04/1960 and sold as new to USA. The last owner in California was Carolyne Baker. To Finland, Jaguar was imported by Pertti Nieminen, aka Neumann, the frontman of the Finnish rock band Dingo. The car was brought from California to Pori, Finland in 1988. From the bankruptcy estate of Neumann’s company, the car was transferred to Oy Maniklan AB, where the restoration of the Jaguar began. The body was restored and interior was renewed and upholstered with cream beige leather.

The car was registered to Finland and sold on May 23, 1993 at Bukowski’s auction to car collector C.Palmberg. The restoration of the Jaguar continued at Woikoski Oy’s workshop in Palmberg.

In 2006, Palmberg sold the car to the current owner, J. Kuisma, who continued to restore the Jaguar. The original matching numbers engine was thoroughly overhauled in 2007. The following year, the body was repainted in British Racing Green and the fuel tank was renewed. During the years 2010-2012, the Jaguar underwent, among other things, a thorough brake overhaul, where the calipers, brake cylinders and brake pipes were renewed. In 2015, the clutch slave cylinder was renewed and an electric ignition was installed. The tires have been renewed in 2019.

The XK 150 has been driven 500-1000 kilometers annually with regularly serviced.
