This Jaguar XK 150 has an unusual and particularly interesting history. As noted on the Jaguar Heritage Trust certificate that comes with the car, it is one of the last two 3.4L "S" examples built and has retained its original engine block. It left the Coventry factory on 28 September 1960, in the livery that it has today, painted "Cream" with black leather interior and equipped with a manual gearbox with overdrive. Our XK was delivered new in Algeria by Capima, the marque distributor based in Alger, on 3 November that year. The current owner acquired the car in 2012, attracted by its history and the quality of patina that gives the car its character. Regularly maintained since then by the specialist Normandie Motors Services, it is a particularly smooth and pleasant car to drive. To make it more comfortable to use, electric power steering has been fitted and the front two seats have been replaced with more padded, leather-clad seats. The original seats have been conserved and will be delivered with the car, which comes with its owner’s manual and a spare set of keys. The history file details the extensive maintenance costs of the last 18 years. This example displays an authentic and interesting patina only seen on cars that have been regularly maintained but never restored. Such an example, driven frequently and with plenty of attractive features, will no doubt appeal to enthusiasts of this legendary Jaguar.

The auction of this lot will take place on Friday 18 March 2022.
