This very sharp 1961 Jaguar XK150 Fixed Head Coupe is a multiple-award-winning example that was the subject of a comprehensive restoration completed in 2009, soon after which it was awarded the AACA National First Prize. One of the last left-hand drive XK150s to roll off the Coventry production line, it was sold new in San Diego, California, reportedly refinished in black, and then placed into enclosed storage for the next 47 years. Under the second owner, it was repainted the original British Racing Green, the interior was completely redone with all new leather upholstery, new carpets and trim, and the factory Smiths instruments were fully reconditioned.
The exterior paint finish remains in outstanding condition, with excellent fit and finish. All brightwork is of comparable superb quality, having been rechromed as part of the Jaguar’s extensive restoration. In addition to award-winning quality, the interior shows some unique features that likely result from the car being the third-last Fixed Head Coupe produced at the very end of XK150 production, when the factory was using up the remaining parts inventory. Specifically, the center dash panel is fitted with beige leather rather than the standard gray, and the emergency brake handle is situated on the driver side of the transmission tunnel instead of the standard passenger side location.
It is also fitted with a rare optional sunroof. The fit and quality of materials and finishes were rewarded at the 2015 Nashville British Car Club Show, when the car won both the XK Class and took the overall award for Best Interior of the Show. The clean and correctly detailed engine compartment is home to a correct 3.8L/220 HP DOHC inline-6 engine, 4-speed manual transmission and electric overdrive. All were rebuilt during the restoration by marque specialists Coventry West in Atlanta, Georgia, who also restored the suspension and brake systems.
This multiple-award-winning XK150 comes complete with the original dealer-optional factory air conditioning system, which was never installed but can be easily by the new owner. Also included are trophies, the original California Black Plate, extensive documentation and Jaguar Heritage Trust paperwork.
