1960 JAGUAR XK150 DHC VIN: S8386XXDN THERE ALMOST 80 HUGE IMAGES OF THIS DROP HEAD COUPE SHOWN BELOW! DESCRIPTION: This NO RESERVE auction is for a 1960 JAGUAR XK150 DROP HEAD COUPE. In all, only 2,672 DHCs were produced in the 150 bodies, and the coupes were more refined than the OTS versions. This car is a true SURVIVOR and we determined that it had only one owner prior to the current driver. The present owner purchased the car in 1968 (we show the bill of sale) and it has been in his care since that day. It was always garaged and used only on rare occasion. With additional due diligence, we can verify will full certainty that this IS a numbers matching car. We carefully removed the tunnel for photos of the overdrive transmission number and we also show images of the frame number, engine number and cylinder head number as well (all numbers have deliberately been partially obscured to protect the integrity of this vehicle). There is also an image of the block showing the raised cast boss with the 3.8 Liter on it. We were shocked that this JAGUAR appears to have only 42,310 actual miles. There is no smoke, noises or other gremlins present in the engine which rests in the nearly spotless engine bay. As a matter of fact, this engine starts right up, idles nicely and sounds fantastic! The clutch engages smoothly and the transmission shifts effortlessly. The special order dual exhaust system is loud indicating that repairs or replacement will be needed. These vehicles produced well over 200 horse power when fitted with the 3.8 liter engine with 9 to 1 compression ratio. The car actually passed the New York State's safety inspection in 2013. In 1960, XK150s were nearing the end of their production run, in October of that year. They would be replaced by the E-types. Surviving examples of these particular cars are scarce, and ones with options like the larger 3.8 Litre engine, dual exhaust and overdrive, are even rarer. The evolution also produced other refinements such as disc brakes on all 4 wheels which work much better than their drum brake equipped predecessors, and this car has a nice high, firm pedal. It also has rack and pinion steering which provided another big improvement in handling over the earlier XK versions. One piece windscreens replaced the split versions. Doors shut soundly and the windows roll up and down easily. Although this car can be driven, we wouldn't recommend a long journey as the tires are very old and it really should be sorted. The leather interior is original, as is the carpeting, and both are very tired. Other noticed condition issues include some rust in the trunk area and others (shown), minor scrapes and dents typical of the exterior finish of an urban driven car. It looks better in the pictures than it does in person! The fabric on the Stay Fast top looks almost new and even the rear window is crystal clear. The windshield is fairly new. There is an abundance of additional general information about these Jaguars on the internet if you are looking for technical data or performance details. We didn't want to bog you down with useless details, considering that most people looking at this car will know infinitely more about it than we do. The keys for the ignition, doors, boot and glove box are all original and are working. The gas gauge doesn't work and the horn is intermittent. There is a spare tire in the trunk with the jack and tools along with an owner's manual. There is also a very new looking wire wheel that will come with the car as well (shown). The winning bidder will get the bill of sale as well as many other receipts for work and maintenance performed over the years. Incidentally, the hood is alloy, and most of the bright work is decent. Some small bits are missing, but in the majority the car is very intact. We feel that this Jaguar deserves someone that really appreciates the integrity of the car. As with all of our eBay Motors listings we try to let our high resolution photographs tell the story about the vehicles that we are selling. We have photo shots from many angles of the exterior, top up and down, engine bay, interior, trunk and undercarriage. If you study our clear multiple images very carefully, you will see exactly what this JAGUAR XK150 Drop Head Coupe is all about. The clear images of this vehicle, shown below, will do a much better job of describing the look, style, condition and value of this vehicle than our words ever could. We invite questions and comments and there is NO RESERVE on this auction!

$4.5M Maryland mansion has a brick street with classic cars in its basement
Sun, May 31 2020At one extremely large residence in Potomac, Maryland, the residents need not call the driver to head into town. Instead, the people who lived and will live in this house can simply take a walk downstairs to hit up the post office, or the theater, or the massage parlor. These faux shops are just a small part of a re-created old-style downtown strip, complete with a brick drive and classic collector cars. Brought to light by Twitter user @victoriaxxviii, 11610 Highland Farm Road, Potomac, Maryland, is a 12,089-square-foot gated mansion that sits on four acres, with the opportunity to buy two more next to it. It has seven bedrooms and eight bathrooms in the main house, a guest house with two bedrooms and a bathroom, and a pool house with a full kitchen and a bathroom. The place also has a heated pool and a tennis court. Yet, none of that would be of interest if not for the items hidden in the home's finished basement. Best understood by seeing the photos above, the lower level of the house was built to resemble an old town. In addition to the aforementioned stores, it also has a sports shop, a flower shop, an inn, a tattoo parlor, a church, and most important, an auto repair shop and gas station. The repair shop is key, as there are several collectible cars positioned throughout the winding town road. Seen in the photos are a Citroen 2CV, a Jaguar E-Type roadster, a scooter, and a third vintage car that appears to be from the '20s or '30s. The house was built in 1987 and features four garage spots. It is currently listed for $4.5 million, but it is unclear if the downstairs cars are included in the purchase. Visit Washington Fine Properties for more photos of the house and extra information about its amenities. Related Video:  Â
Editors' Choice: Top Five 2015 Frankfurt Motor Show Debuts
Thu, Sep 17 2015Consider the 2015-16 auto show season officially kicked off. The Frankfurt Motor Show offered a great look at the newest crop of production cars and conceptual machines, and brought some old favorites back into the spotlight for a closer look. (The Alfa Romeo Giulia, for example, debuted in June, but this was the first time most of us saw it.) Now that the dust has settled and we're all on flights back to the US, our editors cast their votes for their personal favorites from the Frankfurt show. These are the cars we truly loved seeing the most. But unlike other shows, there was no one runaway winner – all of the Top Five received positive praise from our team. We won't spoil the results, though. Scroll down to see what we liked most from this year's Frankfurt expo. 5th Place – MERCEDES-BENZ IAA CONCEPT View 12 Photos MIKE AUSTIN: The clean lines on this concept have me excited for a more elegant beauty to future Mercedes-Benz vehicles. Next to the Concept IAA, the lovely S-Class Coupe looks like an overstyled barge. DAVID GLUCKMAN: Yeah, the extendable rear is neat and all, but I'm more interested in the front-end styling of this one. It looks like the Tron version of a 300SL, in a good way. I'm hopeful it portends the future of Mercedes design. STEVEN EWING: I was super impressed when Mercedes said that, with the rear end extended, this concept has a drag coefficient of just 0.19. That's crazy aerodynamic. I'm not head-over-heels about the styling, but I think the lessons learned from this concept are really important, and will play a huge role in the future of Mercedes' products. 4th Place – ALFA ROMEO GIULIA View 15 Photos SEYTH MIERSMA: I can hardly express how in love with this car I am. The styling feels creative, modern, and evocative, without going over the top. The proposed performance is spectacular. And the Alfa badge speaks to a legacy of romantic motoring. DAVID GLUCKMAN: Pretty Italian car makes big promises and will probably deliver on about three quarters of them. I think that will still be enough for me. JEREMY KORZENIEWSKI: I'm really intrigued by the Giulia. It looks great, sounds awesome, and I'm expecting it to have a load more character than its German rivals. I hope I'm not disappointed. 3rd Place – JAGUAR F-PACE View 15 Photos GREG MIGLIORE: It's the first SUV for Jaguar, and I think they nailed the design, capability, and electronics. It's the right car at the right time.
Jaguar XFR-S pitted against Mercedes E63 AMG
Wed, 21 Aug 2013It was Steve Sutcliffe at Autocar who got the tough job of comparing the Mercedes-Benz E63 AMG to the limited edition Jaguar XFR-S on the track and sheep-strewn British B-roads. In UK spec both Mephistophelean sedans wrangle the same 542 horsepower, but step out of the corral and things look to weigh heavily in the Mercedes' favor: it has more torque, it's lighter, it's quicker from 0-to-60 and it's less expensive.
But that's on paper. Sutcliffe was given the job to see what effect all those letters and numbers had on the real-world driving experience. One of them is "an absolute hoot at the track" with great steering and weight management, one is "magnificent." To find out which is which, watch the video below.
