1960 JAGUAR XK150 FIXED HEAD COUPE OLDER RESTORATION FITTED WIRES & O/DRIVE Estimate £13000 - 15000 Registration Number 4757 DU Chassis Number S825220DN Engine Number V7507-8 Engine Capacity 3442 Paint Colour WHITE Trim Colour RED MOT Expiry Date T.B.A. Sensation of the 1948 Earls Court Motor Show, Jaguar's new XK sports car set a level of performance and roadability which no other manufacturer could come close to at the price. This ensured that with steady development the basic XK design was able to last in production for 13 years whilst still remaining class competitive. The final development of the XK line was the 1957 introduced XK150. In line with the changing tastes of customers, particularly in the all important US market, the XK150 was more luxurious and comfortable than its XK140 predecessor whilst still retaining its essential sports car performance and driving characteristics. Initially powered by the 3442cc 6-cylinder engine of its predecessor, this was joined in late 1959 by a 3781cc unit and 'S' models from 1958 with straight port heads produced 250 bhp. Available in Drophead Coupe and Fixed Head Coupe bodystyles on introduction, these were joined by a Roadster in October 1958 and the XK150 was produced until 1961 when Jaguar were to set the world alight again with the launch of the XK150's replacement - the E-Type.The 1960 right hand drive 3.4 litre Fixed Head Coupe offered for sale here today is finished in white with a red leather interior and has four speed with overdrive gearbox. Showing 70,500 miles, a figure the vendor believes but doesn't guarantee to be correct this car is described as 'an older restoration'. We are told by the vendor that the engine and chassis are 'very good', electrics, paintwork, bodywork, transmission and wheels/tyres 'good' and interior 'fair'. Described as 'very sound mechanically, starts and runs well with good oil pressure' this 'usable Jaguar XK' rides on wire wheels. We are also told that the car will have a current MOT at the time of sale.PLEASE NOTE: The photograph used is of a similar vehicle.PLEASE NOTE: This vehicle comes with an MOT certificate until February 2008 and has a problem with the clutch.

1984 MERCEDES-BENZ 280 SL LOVELY CAR WITH FSH & HARD/SOFT TOPS Estimate £7000 - 8000 Registration Number TNJ 378 Chassis Number 1070422A010095 Engine Number 11099022005850 Engine Capacity 2746 Paint Colour CHAMPAGNE Trim Colour CREAM MOT Expiry Date FEB 2008 The 1971 launched SL was a very different car to its 'pagoda' roofed 280 SL predecessor, being much more of a high-speed inter-continental express than an out and out sports car. Available as a 350 SL or 450 SL, the V8 engines and semi-trailing arm rear suspension components were taken from the S-Class and like its predecessor it was available as a roadster or as a coupe with removable hardtop. Very much in a class of its own at launch, the SL's only major competition came from the recently re-engined Jaguar E-Type V12 which whilst still beautiful was a much older basic design. Steadily refined and developed but never substantially altered over a production run which even by Mercedes-Benz standards was lengthy, the SL remained in production in this form until 1989. A smaller 6-cylinder 280 SL had been introduced in mainland Europe in 1974 but it was not until October 1980 that this model became available in the UK. Powered by a gusty yet refined 2746cc engine producing 185bhp even the 280 model lacked nothingwhen it came to performance and being indistinguishable externally from its larger engine brothers was a popular 'entry level' way into Mercedes convertible motoring. The 280 SL lasted until October 1985 when it was replaced by the 300 SL, which at the same time received the SL's one and only minor facelift.The 1984 car on offer today is finished in champagne with a cream part leather interior and has a mileage verified by the current owner of 85,476 at the time of going to press with a full service history. Featuring the more popular automatic transmission, this example is described by the vendor as being 'excellent' in every area with an 'as new' interior. Included with this car is the desirable factory hardtop as well as the personalised registration number TNJ 378 and the car will be sold with MOT until February 2008 and tax until April 2007.
