Chassis S 832170 DN is a 1960-built Jaguar XK 150 3.8 Roadster in left-hand-drive configuration, one of only 36 such examples produced. Completed in November 1960 in black over red, it was initially distributed to Jaguar Cars in New York before returning to Europe, where it underwent a restoration. Among the rarest of all XK variants, it represents the final and most developed expression of Jaguar's long-running XK-series, combining disc brakes at all four corners with the 3.8-litre straight-six engine.
