Image Motors had the good fortune to acquire this magnificent XK150
Drophead Convertible from the previous owner who had owned it for 43
years because of his planned move to a retirement community. This car
has been meticulously maintained and cared for as if it was the only
possession this person had. This car made its way to Kansas City from
Dallas on Sunday June 24, 1962 with only 10,024 miles. This amount of
mileage in the first two years had to be the fastest mileage put on this
car because in the next 52 years it only accumulated 30,493 miles
more. We believe that a import car dealer who specialized in British cars
brought it to Kansas City and kept it until June 19,1971 when he sold
it to someone who flipped it very quickly, October 28, 1971 to the
person who we acquired it from. We have some service records from 1968
and 1969 where the import dealers shop performed work. The import
dealer was also a car collector and it is very possible that he just
held on to this car the entire time. We have a copy of an old Kansas
title from January 16, 1968 showing Joe Egle Motors Imports, Inc as the
owner and a couple of people in Kansas City who claimed to have known
him said they thought that was about the time he moved from Kansas City,
Missouri to a suburb on the Kansas side of Olathe Kansas. Hence the
need to retitle Kansas. We have tried to share as much information and
facts about this car because we are talking about an extremely rare car,
with low mileage, that with some further attention could turn out to be
very valuable with the right paint being applied to this rust free
car.
PAINT We are not sure when the paint was applied, but we know it was sometime prior to 1990, but the old saying that it "looks good at 10 feet", really applies to this car. If you look real close at the paint you can see areas where the metal was not blocked, sanded, and primed properly and over time has risen through the paint. Don't know if the person who commissioned the repaint didn't know the difference or just didn't want to spend the extra money. I wish cars could talk because it could shed a tremendous amount of information that we have all wondered. CHROME All chrome on this car: wheels, bumpers, trim on outside around headlights, turn signals, taillights, door handles are very shiny are not pitted in any way! The items that are chromed in the interior are equally as nice. A word or two about the wheels, they are perfect looking with a few bumps on the knockoffs where the factory wheel mallet was used taking the tires and wheels off of the car. INTERIOR The leather interior is way beyond just presentable. Don't know if it is original, replaced, or restored but looks very good for as old as it is. We know that there was a correct woolton wool carpet set with new under felts installed in 1990. At that time there was new under dash panels, windshield piping, dash leather, fabricated and recovered. TOP The top and boot are in outstanding condition and the only record we have of work being performed on them was a defective bow was repaired and reinstalled in 1990. The top goes up and down very smoothly and the boot fits very nicely. MECHANICAL (Most Important in our opinion) This car was shipped from Kansas City to Stew Jones Restoration & Repair Shop in Winstead, Connecticut to one of the most respected Jaguar shops by the owner to have the car checked out completely and then he authorized them to perform over $11,000 worth of work to make sure this grand old car received the attention it deserved. All work that was recommended and estimated was performed, no corners cut here. We have the itemized bill on all worked performed, parts and labor to substantiate all work. I guess I should have said this along time ago, but every time you turn the key on and push the start button it starts the first time! This car had, new disc brakes all the way around, new transmission and torque converter, engine was removed during process and many mechanical things were performed. The list just goes on and on of items that were replaced, repaired, or rebuilt to make sure that this car drives and handles just the like the owner expected. The detail is unheard of on a vehicle that someone was going to drive and enjoy. The cosmetic detail is just what you would expect to go along with everything else. After the car returned to Kansas City a local repair shop, specializing in special interest cars inspected this car annually for its owner and performed any service or repairs needed. With his shop being the most knowledgeable of this work, he would be glad to discuss it with the new owner if desired. RIDE & DRIVE This has to be one of the best driving and handling 54 year old XK150 on the road today. The Jaguar drives down the road straight as an arrow and those disc brakes bring this car to a nice smooth stop. The automatic transmission shifts nice and smooth. Be prepared for people to stare at your outstanding car as you are driving down the street and enjoying it. As you can see in the picture of the trunk we have the original tools and bag, mallet, and tucked away in the glove box is the original owners manual, all in like new condition! Motor # VA1478-8 Gearbox #JBX1635 Body #P8202 Chassis # 2W53247 If you need additional information, call RON 913-707-8111. Would be happy to arrange to have the car delivered to your front door or shipped to your broker for shipment overseas. |

249 reasons you want to go to Goodwood Revival
Sat, Sep 16 2023At its most basic, Goodwood Revival is a long weekend worth of car races featuring cars made before 1970. There are lots of those, though, including some pretty great ones all over the world. But nothing is like Goodwood Revival because it's so much more than "just" vintage car racing. First, you have to look the part. Attendees are strongly encouraged to dress in period clothing from the 1940s, 1950s and 1960s, with a strict dress code enforced should you want to enter the paddock. The goal is to create a more authentic atmosphere to match the cars and the meticulously restored and recreated paddocks, grandstands and other facilities of the reborn Goodwood circuit. Now, the dress code was relaxed this year since the Saturday was literally the hottest Sept. 9 on record in that part of England, and the organizers didn't want people dropping dead because they needed to wear an ascot. Some people definitely took the "relaxed" bit too far, but there was still plenty of atmosphere maintained. It really does make a big difference, as those "relaxed" individuals were often akin to seeing a Starbucks cup in a scene from "Game of Thrones." You can see what I came up with below along with former Autoblog editor Reese Counts and various other Goodwood attendees. Second, there's the parking lot. But I'll let this entire separate post detail that. Third, there's the enormous carnival-like area featuring vintage-looking rides and various boutiques. Both of those are on the outside portion of the track, and honestly, you could easily just spend your entire day in the parking lot and carnival/shopping area without even crossing over into the circuit area. There you'll find more shops, food and drink opportunities, plus obviously, race car paddocks and the track itself. Fourth, there are airplanes! I heard there are fewer than in the past, but they're there and they're cool. The Goodwood circuit started out life as the perimeter road around the World War II airfield RAF Westhampnett. Fifth, with all of the above, Goodwood Revival really is fun for the whole family. It isn't just a bunch of old guys sitting around in lawn chairs. There are plenty of women and adorably dressed children, including babies in vintage prams. It's also not an event that's exclusively for the uber rich, even if they are certainly in full force given who has the sort of money needed to go vintage racing.
2018 Jaguar F-Pace S Live Video Review | Snow day edition
Wed, Jan 31 2018We're nearing the end of our six-month long-term test of the 2018 Jaguar F-Pace S. We've put nearly 12,000 miles on the car in just a few months, and we have plans to add a few thousand more before time runs out. It's been a cold and snowy winter, so the Jaguar's combination of heated seats, an electrically-heated windshield and all-wheel drive has made it a popular choice. It's going to be a sad day when the car goes back to Jaguar, though our new long-term 2018 Honda Ridgeline will help fill our cat-sized void. This content is hosted by a third party. To view it, please update your privacy preferences. Manage Settings. A few months back, we did a midterm check-in on during a Facebook live video. As you can see by my coat and our white backdrop, the weather has only gotten worse. The cold does change things, so this gives us a good opportunity to see how well the F-Pace is holding up. Watch the video above or click through to see the comments on Facebook.
