1959 JAGUAR XK150 SE 3.4 DROPHEAD COUPE RHD


The Jaguar Heritage Trust Certificate states this beautiful XK150 DHC was manufactured on January 22nd 1959 to RHD specification and despatched to Henlys London on February 9th 1959.  The car was finished in the original colours of Indigo Blue with grey leather interior, just as it is now.
It is believed the car was soon taken to Italy and registered in Milan, and in December 1964 it was registered in Padova.  The car then appears to have remained in the north of Italy until being acquired by someone in England in March 2017, after which is was registered with the DVLA in August 2017.
The odometer records less than 19,000 miles and the car remains in a wonderful original condition, with excellent panel fit and retaining what is thought to be the original seat trim.

1966 ALVIS TE21 DROPHEAD COUPE - RED TRIANGLE

"CLASSIC OF THE DAY"
 For our classic today we revisit Red Triangle (The home of Alvis Cars).The Alvis was a well respected brand and over the years produced a miriad of models that to this day are a regular sight at events and regurlarly appear at auctions in the UK and the rest of the world.
Our choice of today is a 1966 Alvis TE21 Drophead Coupe, see if you agree.

1966 ALVIS TE21 DROPHEAD COUPE




The TF21 was the last Alvis model with a total of 106 produced and only 20 with drop head coachwork. The six cylinder three litre 'straight six' power unit provides a smooth 150bhp and a top speed of nearly 120mph allowing for comfortable cruising in modern traffic. This particular example was delivered new on 1st July 1966 to Mr Porfyratos of London SW1. The second and current owner acquired the car 2nd February 1969 and it has been meticulously maintained ever since. The genuine 50600 miles can be verified by the substantial history file which will be with the car. With chrome wire wheels and power assisted steering and the car in very good condition, this offers, what must be a unique opportunity to obtain such a rare and desirable model.
Year: 1966
Coachwork: Park Ward
Colour: Maroon

Model Specs (Not Above Vehicle)

1963-1967 ALVIS TE21/TF21


Overview

Easily distinguished from its TD predecessor by those stacked twin headlamps that were so fashionable in the early 1960s, the TE gained a new cylinder head that lifts power output to 130bhp. Both saloon and drophead were available, and it’s the latter that makes serious money today. Power steering became a desirable option from 1965, but Alvis saved the best for last. Just 106 TFs were built, but they come with a triple-carb 150bhp engine, improved gearbox and uprated suspension. After 1967 Alvis concentrated on armoured vehicles. Convertible prices in brackets.
