Preview (beginning of the article)

27 cars went under the hammer at the Bonhams auction on New Bond Street on December 6, 2015. The total value of the small group was estimated at 15.4 million euros. And the bidders were particularly keen on the special rarities from Frazer-Nash to Lagonda and Maserati, even if not every classic could be sold. The bidders were completely detached when it came to the Jaguar XK 150 in 3.8-liter Drophead Coupé configuration from 1960. The fully restored car was estimated at £ 100,000 to £ 150,000, but this did not stop the buyer from easily paying three times that amount for it, Euro 539,112 or CHF 645,424 is definitely a proud price for a Jaguar XK 150, perhaps even a world record.
