Description

Merit Cars presents this 1959 Jaguar XK150 Drophead Coupe, a desirable matching numbers example that is a good candidate for restoration. The car is finished in Cotswold Blue with a red interior and black convertible top, a very attractive and classic Jaguar color combination. It sits on wire wheels with whitewall tires, giving the car a wonderful period look. The previous owner had the car for over 25 years and intended to restore it but never completed the project. During his ownership the car was always garaged and periodically started. Some restoration work has been performed over the years. The body is in decent condition, and most panels appear straight. The quarter panels and rocker panels show older rust repairs, which will likely need to be addressed during restoration. The frame appears very straight and solid, an important factor when restoring these cars. The paint is older and will need to be redone. The interior appears largely original and will require refurbishment. Mechanically: • Engine is free and starts easily • All gears engage • Gas tank appears restored The brakes and hydraulic systems will need attention before the car is returned to the road. The car also comes with many extra parts collected over the years, including: • Extra steering wheels • Extra wire wheels • Extra gauges • Books and literature The car rolls and steers for easy transport. With its matching numbers drivetrain, desirable Drophead Coupe body style, and long-term ownership, this XK150 represents a very worthwhile restoration opportunity. Price $24,950
