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!

U.S. issues new tariff threat, this time against British-built cars
Mon, Jan 27 2020WASHINGTON — Britain is the United States' closest ally but their long friendship may be sorely tested as the two countries try to forge a new trade agreement after Britain's exit from the European Union. U.S. Treasury Secretary Steven Mnuchin said on Saturday in London that he was optimistic that a bilateral deal with Britain could be reached as soon as this year. But Mnuchin gave up no ground after a second meeting with his UK counterpart, Sajid Javid. Javid has insisted that Britain will proceed with a unilateral digital services tax, despite a U.S. threat to levy retaliatory tariffs on British-made autos. Mnuchin told reporters after Saturday's meeting that such taxes would discriminate against big U.S. tech companies like Alphabet Inc's Google, Apple, Facebook and Amazon. The UK Treasury declined to comment on the private meeting. The divide highlights the challenges ahead as the Trump administration seeks a new bilateral agreement with Britain, part of a broader push to rebalance relations with nearly all its major trading partners. The stakes are high — British Prime Minister Boris Johnson has pegged the trade deal with United States as a way to ease the pain of breaking with Europe, Britain's largest trade partner. U.S. President Donald Trump, has promised a "massive" trade deal to support Brexit, the product of a populist movement similar to his "America First" agenda. The goodwill and special relationship the two countries have enjoyed for decades may not count for much, experts say. "Trump is not going to be doing Johnson any favors," said Amanda Sloat, a senior fellow with the Brookings Institution in Washington. "He's not going to give him a trade deal without major concessions." Even before the digital tax issue arose, the Trump administration threatened to tax foreign car imports, which could hit British-made Jaguar, Land Rover, Mini, and Honda Civic hatchback cars. Stiff U.S. trade demands include increased access for U.S. farm goods, concessions that will be difficult for Britain's entrenched natural food culture to swallow. The United States also wants Britain to change the way its National Health Service prices drugs and allow in more U.S. pharmaceuticals, which could prove politically unpopular for Johnson's government. Washington's demand that London block Chinese telecoms equipment maker Huawei Technologies Co Ltd for national security reasons could also cloud talks.
Jaguar shows off production XE body in camo
Sun, 18 May 2014Jaguar turned to Twitter and Facebook to reveal the production form of its coming XE sedan that we'll see for real at the Paris Motor Show. This is the first of a series of show-offs, Jaguar planning to wrap the bodywork in see-through camo that shows off the aluminum monocoque and other internals the company will use to promote the XE over its German rivals. That aluminum structure, which Jaguar calls iQ[Al], will also be used for other Jaguar and Land Rover vehicles.
Underneath that long bonnet and ahead of that terribly short trunk will come a series of Ingenium engines, the 2.0-liter turbocharged four-cylinder engines in diesel and petrol forms that will come in a variety of power options, and the 3.0-liter supercharged V6 that can also be found in the F-Type. Before the XE goes on sale early next year, you can click the image above to get a slightly larger view of what the The Leaping Cat's near future looks like.
Jaguar recalls 1,500 XJ sedans over brake issues
Thu, Dec 18 2014A problem with the hydraulic brakes on the flagship XJ sedan has prompted Jaguar to issue a recall. The issue, as publicized by the National Highway Traffic Safety Administration in the notice you can read below, revolves around the brake line junctions underneath the affected vehicles, which may leak fluid, thereby reducing the effectiveness of the braking system. The problem only affects an estimated 1,571 units from the 2014 and 2015 model years, manufactured between February 6 and July 23, 2014. Owners of those affected units are being notified to bring their vehicles in to their local Jaguar dealers to have the brake line junctions inspected and tightened. This issue appears to be unrelated to Jaguar's recent recall of several model lines, the XJ included, over a problem with the power steering system. RECALL Subject : Incorrect Torque of Brake Pipe Unions Report Receipt Date: NOV 19, 2014 NHTSA Campaign Number: 14V741000 Component(s): SERVICE BRAKES, HYDRAULIC Potential Number of Units Affected: 1,571 Manufacturer: Jaguar Land Rover North America, LLC SUMMARY: Jaguar Land Rover North America (Jaguar) is recalling certain model year 2014-2015 Jaguar XJ vehicles manufactured February 6, 2014, to July 23, 2014. In the affected vehicles, the brake line junctions under the vehicle may leak brake fluid. CONSEQUENCE: A brake fluid leak may reduce the vehicle's braking ability, requiring additional distance to stop the vehicle, thereby increasing the risk of a crash. REMEDY: Jaguar will notify owners, and dealers will inspect the brake line junctions, tightening them as necessary, free of charge. The recall is expected to begin on January 16, 2015. Owners may contact Jaguar customer service at 1-800-452-4827. Jaguar's number for this recall is J048. NOTES: Owners may also contact the National Highway Traffic Safety Administration Vehicle Safety Hotline at 1-888-327-4236 (TTY 1-800-424-9153), or go to www.safercar.gov.
