About this car

This 1960 XK150 drophead coupé is a heavily upgraded car, built for touring rather than concours judging. A long-term owner bought it in 2004 and is said to have spent a further £50,000 on maintenance and upgrades, following a body-off rebuild by a respected Jaguar restoration specialist.

The JD Sports specification includes a carburettor conversion, a five-speed gearbox, uprated suspension with adjustable dampers, upgraded brakes, a limited-slip differential, electric power steering, an aluminium radiator, a balanced crankshaft and larger valves. Inside are JD Sport seats, a burr walnut dash and harnesses and belts.

It is a UK right-hand-drive home-market car, with fewer than 10,000 miles recorded since the rebuild. It has completed the London to Lisbon and Scottish Malts tours. The car has just returned to the dealer, and the current photographs date from its previous sale two years ago, so new pictures are to follow.
