Hi, could be a mistake, but "S1198" looks like it could be the gearbox number, body number should be like "C1198" although very few DHC's also had "DH" prefix body numbers. Cheers!

Pekka, good catch! The proper body number is C1198

#637155 was owned by R.V.Roseboom of Fresno, California in 1978.
Roseboom may have purchased the car from its original owner. Roseboom restored the car in grey and black paint before selling it.

The car was for some time in Japan, cause in 1989 it was included on a register of XK Jaguars in that country.
