1960 XK150 - SE or not SE? (that is the question)
I own a 1960 XK150 which I believe has the Special Equipment Package. I have read online that the presence of an "S" prefix on the chassis number (aka the VIN) indicates that the car left the factory with the Special Equipment Package. However at least one auction house has indicated that there should be an S on the end of the engine number as well!
Here are the numbers from our Jaguar Heritage Certificate. Can anyone confirm whether this is an XK150 or an XK150SE?
Chassis no. S836752
Engine no. VA 1693-9
Body number J 10949
Gearbox number J 10949
Thanks!

The engine number is directly above the oil filter assy on the engine block--it is also on the head on face at the front of the valley. The transmission number is stamped on a rear flange (tab) of the gearbox case and on the top of the cover. The body number is on a tag on the scuttle under the bonnet and the chassis number is on the frame under the radiator. That said the only other bit of info is the early 'S' cars did not have the 'T' prefix.
