Although having a family resemblance to the XK120 and XK140. the
XK150 was radically modernised. A one piece windscreen replaced the
split screen and the wing line no longer dropped as much over the
doors. The bonnet was widened. opened down to the wings and. on the
roadster. the bulkhead was moved back four inches to make the
bonnet longer. In the interior. the XK140's walnut dashboard was
replaced by one trimmed in leather and chrome. On the early
drophead coupés. an aluminium centre dash panel with an 'X' pattern
engraving was fitted which looked similar to the early 3. 8 litre
E-Type. Thinner doors gave more interior space. The four-wheel
Dunlop 12 inch disc brakes appeared for the first time
although it was theoretically possible to order a car with
drums. Either wire wheels or disc wheels could also be
specified. Suspension and chassis were very similar to that on the
XK140. These were high performance. well appointed sports touring
cars capable of 137mph and 0-60 in 7. 8 seconds and accomplished
long distances with alacrity.



This genuine XK150S was dispatched from Jaguar Cars on 11th June 1959 as confirmed by the
Heritage Certificate and was registered to J. Beet Ltd. in
Sheffield. In December 1966. it was exported to Sweden where it
spent the next 23 years of its life and was eventually repatriated
into the UK in 1989 by a Mr. M. Hallowes of Loxwood in West Sussex.
Restoration work was carried out on her in 1970 by the Swedish
owners and again in 2002 by Jaguar dealers. Holland Brothers in
Lincolnshire. The result of this substantial investment is a superb
XK150S with manual transmission and overdrive. Finished in blue
with contrasting red leather trim and supplied with a V5
registration document. a full year's MoT test certificate and a
comprehensive history file. This immaculate example could easily
prove to be a shrewd investment.
