    S667040 Manuafactured (Man) Sept '53.  Reg KEA 91 (West Bromwich).  I spotted KEA 91 on 29 Mar '75, coloured red.  An entry appeared in the 1992 JDC XK Register Supplement - owner Robbie Blunt of Gwent, colour black.  Subsequent register entries have not changed.  However, on page 29 of the Jun '96 Jaguar Driver magazine, the car was reported by David Owens (presumably the new owner) of Gwent as stolen - "colour Black.  The vehicle was stolen from Trellech, Nr Monmouth, Gwent, on the night of Thursday 25 Apr '96.  Restoration had almost been completed - interior door panels and carpets are missing". [Distributor:P.J. Evans, Brimingham.  Sold, via Ashmores, to Mr: R.P. Lovell, Stourbridge. Birch Grey/Red/French Grey. 1st RHD SE]

    1959 JAGUAR XK150 ROADSTER Stolen on 26 September 2007,  from Forney, Texas (near Dallas).

     

    VEHICLE ID number: S831439BW

     

    The Jaguar was taken out of a locked and chained barn.  The thieves ripped a very large metal door completely off the building to get to the XK which had been stored there for many years.

     

    The vehicle has a white body with tan softtop, it is unusual as the body is an XK 150, the chassis is from an XK 140, therefore it has a drum instead of disc brakes.  The original XK150 was an automatic, but the chassis is a manual transmission and there is also evidence of the re-fit with the centreline hump having been reconfigured for the stick.
