Lot 18

1960 Jaguar XK150 'S' 3.8-Litre Coupé

£ 130,000 - 150,000

US$ 170,000 - 190,000

The Bond Street Sale

*One of only 115 right-hand drive XK150 'S' 3.8-litre fixed-head coupés

*Overdrive transmission

*Only four recorded owners from new

*Engine (unleaded compatible) and gearbox fully rebuilt in 2003Footnotes

Representing the XK150 in its ultimate configuration, with the 3.8-litre engine and overdrive gearbox, this rare 'S' fixed-head coupé was supplied to its first owner, a Mr Douglass Growcott, by Henlys of London on 23rd March 1960. The car is recorded in Anders Ditlev Clausager's definitive book on the Jaguar XK150 as being the 71st of a total production run of only 115 right-hand drive cars. It is also one of only five cars finished in black with a red interior.

This XK150 has had only four recorded owners from new: the third acquiring '660 NPJ' in 1965 and keeping the car some 35 years until 2000, and the last keeping it for the remaining 18 years. There are MoT certificates on file dating back to 1984 showing the then indicated mileage as 71,442, while virtually continuous MoTs to date confirm the current mileage shown as 82,028.

In 2003 the engine and gearbox were fully rebuilt, the former incorporating an unleaded cylinder head conversion, and the car has also been the subject of considerable expenditure to maintain it in its present beautiful condition. Improvements to the original specification include the fitting of power steering, upgraded brakes, electric fan, alternator conversion, inertia seat belts, and a 12-volt battery installation. The car has been fully checked through by the leading XK specialists, Twyford Moors, who during the process completely rebuilt the front suspension incorporating a full Polybush upgrade to further improve the handling.

This is a matching-numbers car with a mechanical overdrive, rarely seen on these XKs. Fitted with virtually new chrome wire wheels and Vredestein radial tyres, '660 NPJ', with its subtle upgrades, is said to be a delight to drive; the experience being enhanced by one of the smoothest gearboxes one is likely to find in any XK.

In addition to various invoices for works undertaken, the accompanying file contains Jaguar handbooks, the original buff logbook, a current V5C registration document, and a Heritage Certificate confirming its production numbers and current registration. Described by the vendor as in excellent condition, with a very nice interior, '660 NPJ' represents a wonderful opportunity for the serious Jaguar collector to acquire a rare example of one of the most powerful limited-production XKs manufactured by Jaguar Cars.

£85,000 - £100,000

1960 Jaguar XK150 3.8-Litre 'S' Coupé

Registration no. 660 NPJ

Chassis no. T825157DN

• One of only 115 right-hand drive XK150 'S' 3.8-litre fixed-head coupés

• Overdrive transmission

• Only five recorded owners from new

• Engine (unleaded compatible) and gearbox rebuilt in 2003

• Sensibly upgraded

Representing the XK150 in its ultimate configuration, with the 3.8-litre engine and overdrive gearbox, this rare 'S' fixed-head coupé was supplied to its first owner, a Mr Douglass Growcott, by Henlys of London on 23rd March 1960. The car is recorded in Anders Ditlev Clausager's definitive book on the Jaguar XK150 as being the 71st of a total production run of only 115 right-hand drive cars. It is also one of only five cars finished in black with a red interior.

This XK150 has had only five recorded owners from new: the third acquiring '660 NPJ' in 1965 and keeping the car some 35 years until 2000, and the fourth keeping it for the next 18 years. The late Peter de Savary purchased the XK at Bonhams' Bond Street sale in December 2018 (Lot 28). There are MoT certificates on file dating back to 1984 showing the then indicated mileage as 71,442, while virtually continuous subsequent MoTs confirm the mileage as 82,028 when purchased in 2018. Mr de Savary used the car fairly regularly.

In 2003 the engine and gearbox were rebuilt, the former incorporating an unleaded cylinder head conversion, and the car has also been the subject of considerable expenditure to maintain it in its present beautiful condition. Improvements to the original specification include the fitting of power steering; upgraded brakes; electric fan; alternator conversion; inertia seat belts; and a 12-volt battery installation. Prior to its sale in 2018 the car was checked through by the leading XK specialists, Twyford Moors, who during the process completely rebuilt the front suspension incorporating a Polybush upgrade to further improve the handling. Recent works have included fitting a new fuel tank and attention to the brake pipes and ball joints (Twyford Moors receipts on file).

This is a matching-numbers car with a mechanical overdrive, rarely seen on these XKs. Fitted with virtually new chrome wire wheels and Vredestein radial tyres, '660 NPJ', with its subtle upgrades, is said to be a delight to drive; the experience being enhanced by one of the smoothest gearboxes one is likely to find in any XK.

In addition to various invoices for works undertaken, the accompanying file contains Jaguar handbooks; the original buff logbook; a current V5C registration document; and a Heritage Certificate confirming its production numbers and current registration. Very nicely turned out and 'on the button', '660 NPJ' represents a wonderful opportunity for the serious Jaguar collector to acquire a rare example of one of the most powerful limited-production XKs manufactured by Jaguar Cars.
