Ebay item 3/21/1 cgi.ebay.com/ebaymotors/60-Jaguar-XK150-3-8-Liter-FHC-Heritage-Cert-S-Upgrade-/1 ...
Current bid $12,600 reserve not met, 8 bids 6 days left in auction.
Sellers description:
This fantastic classic Jaguar XK150 FHC was in storage in Southern California from 1975 to 2001 partially disassembled with the engine out. The only rust was under each rear side window and the right parking light pod which was easily repaired. Jaguar Heritage Trust indicates it has all original matching numbers components and colors and was built on April 8, 1960. The car was purchased in November 2001 by a retired bay area engineer; completely stripped from the frame up, blasted where necessary and painted in DuPont Variprime and Jaguar code BRG acrylic urethane base coat and clear coat. All the rubber was replaced. It was fitted with new (original scheme) suede green interior from BAS, LTD.
The numbers matching 3.8 block was bored +20 and fitted with 9/1 pistons rings and pins, surface skimmed, the rods sized with new bolts the crank was turned - 10 with new bearings, lower chain and pump gears, the flywheel lightened with new driven and pressure plates, new gear-motor starter and rebuilt generator and new voltage regulator. It was then fitted with a completely rebuilt big valve and ported series 3 XJ6 straight port head and a correct 3 ' 8 E-type triple carburetor manifold and new head bolts. Complete with new clutch master and slave cylinders and new brake servo. All brakes were sleeved and rebuilt by White Post. New Dayton chrome and stainless wheels were fitted with Coker whitewall 15R/16 radial tires and tubes. Also has new Spax front shocks and new stainless exhaust system. The motor is now up to "S"+ specs and is fast. The numbers matching head, twin 1 3/4" carburetors and manifold go with the car if future owner desires to convert back to the original configuration.
This restoration was completed in November 2004 and it has been driven 2,500 miles locally and to shows. Last year car was block sanded resulting in multiple defects in the paint, mostly from over sanding the clear coat. In addition, the rear tail lamp housings need to be re-chromed.
This is a phenomenal driving car that drives and handles terrific. The interior is immaculate as well as the mechanical, and the body is straight and rust free.
