The XK 150 S was the most powerful configuration of Jaguars model when paired with a 3.8-litre engine, which took the form of a straight-six motor with triple-SU carburettors to return some 265 brake horsepower.
The example offered here was marked complete by the factory on 10 June 1960, styled with a Drophead Coup body and built in right-hand drive. The Jaguar was supplied new by Henlys Limited of London, finished in British Racing Green over a Suede Green interior and Black convertible hood. The XK 150 stayed in England for its first six years, where it was reportedly owned by the Managing Director of Jaguars distribution arm, before being exported to the Netherlands. To prepare for its switch to mainland Europe, the Jaguar was converted to left-hand drive a change believed to have been carried out in England. In 1968 the car was acquired by the father of the consigning owner, and it has been retained in single-family ownership since then. The car later appeared prominently in The Jaguar Drivers Year Book 1976.
Now presenting in its factory-correct British Racing Green and noted to retain its matching-numbers engine block with cylinder head, the Jaguar presents in highly original condition. It is offered for sale with a Jaguar Daimler Heritage Trust certificate.
