Vehicle Details
AI Listing Summary
This 1960 Jaguar XK150 3.4-Litre Drophead Coupé was originally a left-hand drive fixed-head coupé before being rebuilt to a high standard between 2000-2005, including conversion to right-hand drive and drophead configuration. Finished in Burgundy with cream leather interior, the car has been well-maintained with light use since restoration, presenting a cost-effective opportunity for open XK150 motoring. Note that the car has a replacement chassis number, and an application for a lost logbook is pending.
Condition

The car has been restored to a high standard, including a full engine rebuild, interior re-trim, new hood and lining, and new wire wheels. The description mentions that the car presents very well and has been well-maintained with only light use since acquisition. However, it also notes that the car was converted from left-hand drive to right-hand drive and from fixed-head to drophead coupé configuration, and the car has been given a new chassis number. It also mentions some small items addressed like re-aligning door shut lines, hood alignment & trim items which suggests slight wear and tear.

Description
What would turn out to be the final glorious incarnation of Jaguar's fabulous 'XK' series of sports cars arrived in 1957.
As its nomenclature suggests, the XK150 was a progressive development of the XK120 and XK140, retaining the same basic chassis, 3.4-litre engine and four-speed Moss transmission of its predecessors while benefiting from a new, wider body that provided increased interior space and improved visibility courtesy of a single-piece wrap-around windscreen, replacing the divided screen.
A higher front wing line and broader radiator grille were other obvious differences, but the new model's main talking point was its Dunlop disc brakes.
Fade following repeated stops from high speed had been a problem of the earlier, drum-braked cars, but now the XK had stopping power to match its prodigious straight-line speed.
Introduced in the spring of 1957, the XK150 was available at first only in fixed and drophead, '2+2' coupé forms, the open two-seater version not appearing until ...
