Description
First delivered by Charles Follett Ltd in London on March 12th, 1958, chassis S824063DN was originally owned by Mr H. Zeal, who retained the car until 1974.
In 1974, the car was purchased by Mr Ball of Manchester, who remained its owner for an impressive period until 2020.
The current owner acquired S824063DN at auction in 2020, where it was noted that the car might require an engine rebuild. Following the successful purchase, the car was entrusted to Guy Broad, where it was determined that a comprehensive engine refresh—alongside a number of smaller works—was required. The total cost of this work exceeded £12, 000.
Since completion, the car has covered little more than 600 miles and continues to present in exceptionally original condition.
The history file includes MOT certificates (supporting the remarkably low mileage), correspondence from previous owners and the invoice from Guy Broad detailing the work carried out.
Finding an XK that looks, feels, and drives in such remarkably original condition is increasingly rare. Everything functions exactly as it should, and from the tactile feel of the controls to the distinctive aroma of the cabin, this is a car that truly must be experienced to be fully appreciated.
For those seeking an exceptionally original example, this car should not be overlooked.
