Jaguar XK150 3.8 Litre Drop Head Coupe Restoration. Full matching numbers with the Jaguar Heritage Trust Certificate. A rare opportunity to obtain one of 586 total XK150 3.8 litre Drop Head Coupes produced. Offered as a nearly completed restoration from the estate of the owner since 1969. Total mileage is 27,200 from new. Disassembled several years ago and the subject of a complete, exacting restoration that ceased with the death of the long time owner. Much work has been completed including a fully rebuilt engine by one of the Pacific Northwest's most experienced builder of Jaguar engines. Full body and paintwork on the rust free body is completed to a very high standard as seen by the photos. The Borg Warner transmission is rebuilt, with new chrome plating on the original pieces, a full stainless exhaust system, rebuilt brakes with cylinders rebuilt by White Post and news pads all around. Four new chrome wire wheels and wheel nuts are fitted with Vredestein radial tires for improved handling. Heating and cooling system fully rebuilt. Most every component necessary for completion is present including a full leather interior kit from OSJI, and a new wiring harness. The Buy It Now price is very reasonable considering the current value of the rare 3.8 litre drop head coupes is estimated at $224,000 for a #1 condition car by the current 1st quarter 2017 edition of the Hagerty Price Guide, widely considered as the most accurate guide available. The value only exceeded by the 150S triple carb versions. Please ask any questions prior to placing a purchase. All questions will be answered promptly and accurately.
