Description
1959 JAGUAR XK150 FIXED HEAD COUPE - YOC 670
Finished in Ecurie Ecosse blue with red leather trim, this XK150 has been lovingly restored by a life-long Jaguar enthusiast and specialist. It was delivered to dealer P. J. Evans in Birmingham in April of 1959 (and has a dealer sticker in the back window!). Chassis number is S824799DN. Mileage on the clock 86, 935. [May be open to an interesting part-exchange, please contact to discuss].
The XK has been upgraded to “S” specification triple carburettor engine 3400cc, electronic ignition, dual fuel pumps, high geared pre-selector starter motor, main feed fusible links, five speed gearbox, power steering and uprated front brakes, making this car, on new Blockley tyres, ideal as a long distance tourer. An additional header tank has been fitted to aid cooling, with electric fans. It retains its original registration number and plate, with "ACE" decal on rear plate. In the course of the full restoration attention to detail included: body and chassis were separated, original small steel bolts replaced with stainless steel ones, etc..
Further details:
Seats and Trim: entirely replaced throughout the car and boot; door panels and all side panels replaced; red leather seats are original and in very good order
Dashboard: new cubby hole boxes fitted, dashboard is its original grey leather trim, all clocks restored
Carpets are new with modern heat insulation and sound deadening underneath
Seat belts were not included at the time, so have been newly fitted for safety purposes
Black leather strap with brass buckles fitted to bonnet to ensure its safety, especially at high speed
Easily accessible battery Isolator key for security purposes
Working windscreen wipers and washers which are still vacuum operated, per original spec
Wheels are chrome; five 16” grey painted wheels also available (additional cost), if required

Following restoration the XK was thoroughly road-tested around the coast of Ireland, the only classic in a pack of twelve which did not require road-side maintenance. Available to view in the West Midlands. YOC670 has a really smooth engine, exquisite five speed gearbox and is a joy to drive.
