Jaguar XK150 Fixed Head Coupé

An early left-hand-drive XK150 Fixed Head Coupé from 1957, chassis S835588DN. The dealer identifies it as the last car of the first 835xxx production sequence, before the running changes of the May 1958 revision. The DN suffix marks factory Laycock de Normanville overdrive, which makes high-speed cruising easier.

It has the 3.4-litre twin-cam straight-six, quoted at about 190 bhp, with a manual gearbox. It is finished in British Racing Green over a Biscuit leather interior. The first owner was in Bruges, Belgium. The car was fully restored before April 2011, when it was bought from the Houtkamp Collection in the Netherlands with five new tyres.

Since then it has stayed in one private collection in northern Germany. It has been driven regularly outside the winter months, kept in a heated garage and serviced by specialists. The page gives the mileage as about 50,000 km, and the listing card shows 45,000 miles. The price is on application.
