This 1960 XK150 3.8 FHC Auto LHD in white with tan interior was owned, loved and cherished by a single family in the United States for over 30 years before being re-Imported into the United Kingdom in 2015. Testimony provided by the family leads the vendor to believe this vehicle was used almost exclusively to attend shows for many years, spent long periods in dry storage and that the recorded mileage of 53,833 Is genuine.
This is not a restored car but one which has been used sparingly and historically meticulously maintained but spent latter years in storage.
Since returning to the United Kingdom the vehicle has been comprehensively refurbished/recommissioned. Recent works have included: new electronic ignition, rebuilt carburettors, new stainless steel exhausts, upgraded brakes, new front discs and wheel bearings, new brake master cylinder, flexible hoses, new rear shock absorbers, refurbished wheels, new tyres and spinners, new fuel tank and pump, professional gearbox service and new speedhold solenoid. Localised minor body and paint repairs have been undertaken professionally. No welding was required. All panels and the chassis are original and in excellent condition as are the timber framing elements and floors. Some new chrome has been fitted. The interior is largely original and in excellent condition. New carpets are fitted.
The vehicle is not concours but is in excellent useable condition and being automatic is a pleasure to drive in modern traffic.
The vendor originally intended to convert this vehicle to right hand drive for his own use. Due to it being automatic and the fact all mounting brackets were originally fitted on the chassis this is relatively simple. Some of the components necessary to undertake this can be made available if required, as are a number of original parts such as a steering wheel, brake callipers etc. should a purchaser wish to maintain originality.
This vehicle will be supplied with a Heritage Certificate, copy of original US Title and, although now exempt, a new MOT. Recent invoices and copies of communications with the previous owner are available.
This vehicle is reluctantly for sale due to the vendor now suffering health issues which prevent him from driving.
