The Appeal
The last car in the XK lineage before the E-Type came along, the XK150 featured several notable enhancements over its predecessors. Jaguar did away with the two-piece windscreen in favour of a single curved item, while the body lines were adjusted accordingly to increase the size of the passenger compartment and streamline the doors.
This gorgeous example was supplied new via Jaguar New York in November 1960. It returned to the UK in 1999 and has since undergone a great deal of work with notable specialists including Guy Broad, S.N.G. Barret and Southern Classics. A recent major service with Motorvation ensures it’s ready for the road, confirmed by a recent MOT pass with no advisories.
As the photographs show, the XK150 is in very good condition for its age, and it presents incredibly well throughout. This truly is a wonderful opportunity for Jaguar enthusiasts.
