History: |
The first owner, K.K,Horn of Ipswich was a customer of Botwoods (Ipswich) Ltd who were the Jaguar Main dealers. I served my apprenticeship with Botwoods from 1959-1965….that’s 55 years ago! David Crotty purchased the car from Horn in 1969 and owned it until 1973 when he sold it to Ken Tolley. Tolley had the car extensively worked on and repaired some bodywork. I have an email from him confirming the very low mileage of 23,000 at that time and he states that between 1973 and 2006 the car only travelled 90 miles due to his business commitments. The car was sold in June 2008 to Alistair Scott, a good friend of mine in Christchurch, New Zealand. Scott used the XK150 for touring the island with his wife Helen. Knowing of my historic interest in the car, he offered the car to me to come back home to UK. We have replaced the carpets, fitted power steering and changed the wing mirrors for door mirrors. The car benefits hugely from the sensible upgrading that has been done and will be a wonderful long distance touring car for rallies both home and overseas. Car is serviced and ready to be enjoyed on some new adventures. I have an original green early registration document and much of the mechanical history in my files. |
Notes: |
The XK150 Coupe is my favourite Jaguar add I have owned and sold many over the past 15 years. Good XK 150 ‘S’ are getting harder to find in excellent condition. Only 59 RHD XK150 “S” models were made by Jaguar Cars Ltd , so this is also a very rare car . Here is a genuine very low mileage 4 owner car which you can trust and drive with great confidence. It is very fast ,and sounds glorious. |
