Default 1960 XK150 Barn Find

New member reporting. My XK150 coupe has a Borg Warner automatic transmission. It is pale blue and totally original including 4 (of 5) rotted tires and dilapidated interior. Last driven in 1969, I relieved the previous owner by greasing his palm with some lucre. Upon initial inspection, it appears to have been pickled back when and then stored inside. Nothing much is missing that I can see. Steve

What a find!!!
Now, THAT is a classic!

You might want to post your own Introduction though. This is sort of lost at the end of someone else's thread.

Welcome from ElinorB.

Welcome to the forum Steve,

(I've moved your post from the end of
neishag2214 Intro to a new one of your own)

Good to have you with us at Jaguar forums. The XK150 is looking remarkably well after its lengthy hibernation.

Follow this link XK120 XK140 XK150 - Jaguar Forums - Jaguar Enthusiasts Forum to the XK120 / XK140 / XK150 forum for help, advice and information.
The 'HOW TO' thread at the top is a good place to start for info on regular issues.

Please remember to add vehicle details to your Signature to help others to give relevant advice. Go to the User CP button on the left of the top menu bar, then Settings & Options under Your Control Panel. Select Edit Signature and enter the details.

You can also visit the US Lower Atlantic Region forum by following this link https://www.jaguarforums.com/forum/lower-atlantic-nc-sc-fl-ga-66/
to find other members in your region.

Enjoy the forums.

Graham
