Jaguar Xk150
Case Study
Our exciting XK150 project

We could just purchase new doors but it is always our aim to keep as much of the car original car as possible, to retain its history and identity within its component parts, after all we are restorers not fitters!
Engine build, keeping the car to original 3.4 spec although making it a 3.8 would not cost any more during the rebuild it was important to our customer to keep the car as original as possible.
The XK 150 has now arrived back at the CCCR workshops after its paint stripping process, it is coated in a acid etch primer to prevent an corrosion. The process revealed serveral historic repairs of a poor standard that we have since reworked.
After the extensive refinishing processes has now entered the first stage of priming and flatting
