Vehicle Detail
J A G U A R XK150 SE FHC An absolutely stunning, low mileage Jaguar in its Gleaming, Carmen Red paint, NEW 72 spoke chrome MWS wire wheels from England, re-chromed bumpers & MICHELIN X tires. Current owner of 25 years purchased the car in Cornwall, England, had it professionally resprayed about 8 years ago & looks like it was done yesterday. Original 3.4 Litre & automatic were upgraded in England prior to purchase for the more sporting & potent 3.8 Litre & 4 speed sourced from a S1 (Series One) XKE OTS. It’s RHD & you get the hang of it in a few hours; after all it’s a true British sports car! Think how close you can get to those annoying joggers & bicyclists & your own mailbox! S prefix in Chassis # S824544BW indicates a Special Equipment Model, Most 150’s were other than base models being either SE or S variations. SE included standard wire wheels, two fog lights, (not present & easily procured) overdrive (if originally a manual) and twin exhaust system & engine mods on 3.4L. Just out of a complete service & an extensive going over by a Bucks County, PA British mechanic renowned in the area & the “Go to” Chap for anything British from MG’s to Rolls Royces. Restoration/Service performed: Ø Re-Spray over solid, rust-free panels w/good fit. A magnet stuck solidly where it should, & of course didn't on the alloy bonnet & boot or either rear fenders because - rather than using less permanent filler on damaged metal, it was decided that on a non, #’s matching car, the best-looking & most permanent solution that wouldn’t impact the value was to us excellent quality non-detectable fiberglass fenders for a lifetime of worry-free use & Good Looks! You can't tell the difference by looking or feeling. Ø Bumpers F & R Re-Chromed Ø New MWS 72 spoke chrome Wire Wheels w/ Jaguar spinners Ø New MICHELINS w/ tubes! Ø Radiator re-cored Ø Rewired w/ New Wiring Harness Ø New Brakes (4 wheel discs) Ø New Fuel Pump Ø New Regulator Ø New Generator Ø New Master Cylinder Ø New Battery Ø New Water Pump Comes with: Ø Spare & Jack, tools minus hammer Ø Custom Car Cover Ø Manuals & Handbook Ø Lots of Class Condition: Exterior, presentation-wise a #2 car, judging the show quality paint, chrome/trim & wheels. Left headlamp reflector is flaking. Engine is clean & will show beautifully w/ polishing. Undercarriage is clean, but not detailed & very solid. There are no leaks or drips, just the usual seepage & accumulation 62 years of oil changes, lubrication & maintenance leaves behind. Interior is original w/ a bit more wear on driver’s seat, only the way time & good care produces that wonderful look. Both door panels show staining at bottom, otherwise good. Carpeting is good but loose fitting w/ minimal wear. Dash & instrumentation are very good, all gauges working. Rear seats are good w/ heavy scratches on left back. easily dyed. Glass is good & all weather-stripping is newer. Mechanically, this Jag is tuned & needs nothing. It starts, runs & stops beautifully, all w/ a fantastic exhaust note. All work has stood the test of time, a testament to the craftsmanship. Please ask any questions. Stand out in a crowd w/ this Stunning & appreciating Classic!
