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. br/>E-Type. whilst thinner doors gave more interior space. The
four-wheel Dunlop 12" disc brakes appeared for the first time
although it was theoretically possible to order a car with drums
and either wire wheels or disc wheels could 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 rare righthand drive XK150S Coupé is fitted with the 3. 4
litre engine and overdrive gearbox. This two-owner car from new was
purchased by the vendor in 1965. Fully maintained and serviced by
the vendor in his own workshop. this XK150S is in excellent
mechanical condition; it starts easily and runs very well. The car
has been re-painted while in his ownership and is finished in
British Racing Green with the original brown leather interior. This
Jaguar XK150S is supplied with a V5C registration document. an old
V5 document. the buff log book and MoT test certificates going back
to 2003 which show how little mileage this car has covered in the
last twelve years. Righthand drive XK Jaguars from this period are
very sought after and collectable - particularly the rare 150S
model -and it is even rarer to find an unrestored example in
such good condition.
