Equipment
Redone during restoration as a Jaguar XK 150 S clone with 15 chrome wire wheels, Lucas Flamethrower driving lights, prepared engine with triple Weber 45DCOE carbs, overdrive, XJ6 oil pump, straight port head and more. Lovely cosmetics include a 4 spoke Derrington style woodrim steering wheel. S emblems on the doors suggest its archetype but underhood details like the Webers and a meticulously welded aluminum radiator overflow tank and radiator clue any onlooker to its character. Way beyond better than new. Includes origil wheels, tires and other parts. Michael Amalfitano Collection. No Reserve.
Market commentary
This Jag might actually keep cool on tours, as well as keep up with modern traffic. Its workmanship is above reproach. Its appearance is seductively attractive. The bidders recognized its attractions. A correct S in this condition is worth something like 50% more and is much less enjoyable on the road. Id say the new owner got a lot of car for the money, and paid no more than it was worth.
